Win 10 is banned from several secured company environments because of its Phone-Home theft of intellectual property, meaning Windows 10 sends things like filenames to Microsoft. Filenames can be confidential, such as “Contract to buy XYZ Corp.docx”

The latest releases of Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise let companies turn that off (mostly - Windows Update is a notable exception). This is why I generally recommend the Pro edition over the Home edition.
