Windows 10: Can't install Win 10 Education

Hi all,
I have a laptop that previously had Win 10 Enterprise on it (OEM), installed by my department. I formatted the C partition and am now trying to install Win 10 Education with a valid key. The installer installs Win 10 Home, and when I enter my key to upgrade, I keep getting 0x800f005 errors . Microsoft say this is because my machine is registered on their servers as having the OEM windows installed, and i can't "upgrade" from there. Very strange. Any thoughts on how to get Win 10 Education installed?
thanks!

:)

 

Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

Hi,

So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens

 

Windows Education Issue

Are you have Windows 10 Education installed?

To find out if you have the right edition installed:

Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Edition.

If you don't have the right edition installed, you will need to download and install it.

Step 1:

Download Windows 10 Education ISO files

If you attend a college or university, your institution might provide you with the Education edition of Windows 10. If you are only provided with a license (product key), you can download the .ISO file from the Microsoft Download Academic Products website.

Go to the following link: Download Windows 10 Academic ISO





Scroll down then enter your Windows 10 Education product key, then click verify

Internet not working after updating Win 10 Home to Win 10 Education

Hi Willie,

Your concern regarding the intermittent connection after upgrading to Windows 10 Education can be caused by a sudden change on the system configuration or driver compatibility issue. As an initial step to ensure that your system
is running on its optimal level, we suggest that you install the latest Windows Update. To do this, follow the steps provided on this
support article or click the
Check for updates now button to open the Settings screen directly.

If the system is up to date, our next step is to reinstall the WiFi driver to rule out any driver compatibility issues. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows + X key, then select
  Device Manager.
• Locate the WiFi adapter, then view the driver by clicking the drop-down arrow.
• Right-click on the driver and select Properties.
• Under the Driver tab, then select Uninstall.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the uninstall process.
• Restart the device if prompted to reinstall a native driver.

In the event that the issue persist, our next step is to use an older driver to further isolate the issue. To do this, repeat steps
1 to 4 to open Device Manger, then proceed with the steps below:

• Select Roll Back Driver.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the roll back process.
• Restart the device if prompted and check if the issue persists.

Let us know should you encounter any challenges along the process.
