11. I don't know about Windows 10 but Windows 7 Home cannot handle even 32 GB RAM

I would expect that they would need Pro to run 128 GB RAM!

When I had my current computer built, the shop ordered Windows 7 Home but then had to change that to Pro (64 bit) because I have 32GB of RAM - that's the only reason I know about it.

Whenever I am planning a new computer, I check Maximum PC for their most recent graphics computer builds, then consult with the local shop for what they recommend, order the parts, and pay the shop to assemble the computer for me. That may have to change - the shop I have used for the last four builds is gone - the owner decided to retire. A friend's son has a computer business so I may see how well we work together. Or I may have to go back to building my own machines again.
