To successfully use MicroWin with your Windows image, you need the following:
- **The latest versions of Windows 10, or Windows 11**
- **The latest versions of Windows 11**
- **Enough space**. We recommend having, at least, double the size of your ISO file. However, you may need more if you want to inject drivers
## Options
### Choosing your index
By default, MicroWin will target the Pro edition of Windows. The Pro edition is a good baseline for IT administrators **and** end-users, due to the inclusion of Group Policy, the ability to join domains, and more things that you can't find with the Home edition. For more information, check out [this comparison chart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions#Comparison_chart).
