Default Windows Hello

I found a good deal for a better laptop but it uses windows hello. Anyone else use it? Are there issues that would make windows home or professional a better option? I'm assuming I could turn features off for face recognition etc.? Want to make sure before I purchase. Thanks! I use mostly stock plugins, slate, and ez drummer in terms of other applications. Some native instrument.

Just to be certain, it is dead easy to turn "Hello" on or off. Google it if you didnt already.

Just disable Hello, I personally would never trust fingerprint, voice or facial recognition things in place of a password. Not saying they are less secure, saying they are prone to screw-ups.
A mate works in a phone/computer shop and is always getting phones and laptops with the fingerprint lock that the customers can no longer get unlocked.
