Hi everyone, Im new to the mini pc world. I just purchased this computer from amazon (AM08 Pro) and it came with windows 11 home. I was under the impression it would have Pro. I tried contacting support and i got nothing. Did this happen to anyone else?

They're transitioning many of their models (perhaps all eventually) to Windows 11 Home. If the unit's description explicitly stated that it would have Windows 11 Pro, I would take a snapshot of the page with the description, then contact barry, a tech for the company, at
barry@minipcunion.com. In the email I would include both the snapshot and your order number, and hopefully he'll be able to get you a W11 Pro product key to use.

You're quite welcome.
For your uses there probably wouldn't be any advantage of Pro over Home, but you never know what you might use it for in the future. It's really up to you.
