Windows 8.1 is the standard edition
Pro has some enterprise features:
Domain joining
Admin tools (gpedit)
Also,personal use, I find that windows 8.1 pro is quicker and can handle more tasks at once.
As the above user said see the link to compare

There is no performance difference, both versions use the same code. The Pro version simply has additional features included. The fact that you can't see any difference pretty much tells you that you have the right version for you since you aren't asking why your friend's PC has a particular feature that your PC doesn't.
I have the non-pro version on my laptop and the only feature I personally miss is Hyper-V which only comes with Pro & Enterprise versions.

- Retired in 2015 after working in the tech industry for 41 years. First 10 years as a Technician, the rest as a programmer/software engineer. After 1 year of retirement, I was bored so went back to work as a Robotic Process Automation Consultant. Retired for 3rd (and final) time in 2019.
About five bucks last time I looked.
