Solved Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro?

Well its been a long time since i have been using the windows 8.1 which was , of course pre-installed when i bought my laptop.So recently , i was thinking that should n't i upgrade it to windows 8.1 pro its just 100$ more.But since my friends are saying its for people with business and stuff.Should i really upgrade to it or should i get myself some game on steam?Well if it boosts the game performance i will be very likely to buy the Pro Version , as i am a gamer myself.
So, should i upgrade it to Pro?
All advices are welcome.And if possible post the pros and cons as well.

Unless you need to join a domain you don't need Pro version. It is not faster.

It has certain other features like Hyper V, bitlocker etc but there are free alternatives.

Unless it has a feature you think is worth $100 to you I would not bother.

Here are the differences

So u are trying to suggest me to leave it as it is . Well then, steam game is always a choice

Well it doesn't make much of a difference if u'r into programming and stuff then there are a few xtras like group policy editor i think.

Yes - I would leave it and spend it on games. Or towards a SSD.
