Bitlocker for Win7 requires the Enterprise or Ultimate editions, as
applicable. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions)
Bitlocker for Win8.1 requires the Pro or Enterprise edition
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions)
Bitlocker for Win10 requires the Pro, Enterprise or Education edition,
and it's unclear whether the Mobile, Mobile Enterprise or IoT Core
editions support it.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions)

All versions Windows with editions less than Enterprise also don't
support Applocker, though Software Restriction Policies can be used,
even if they are not as easy to implement.

For those wanting always on connectivity to their own mothership
(businesses, mostly) will also require the Enterprise version of
Windows for DirectAccess. It's extremely handy for those who need it,
and can afford the infrastructure.
