i read article today too. considering possibility of formatting data disk refs , trying assess if cause problems how things now.

as article suggested, still possible boot current install windows 10 pro install media , use format volume refs use future windows 10 home or pro editions refs creation has been disabled.

it seem strange marketing approach develop new edition not have enough value attract customers unless remove attractive features other existing editions. keep taking things pro edition. maybe remove windows go pro edition too?
