    Digital License Question


    My brand new laptop comes with Windows 10 Pro Education edition which is activated with a digital license.

    I was able to retrieve the license using the CMD, but my question is, if I change the license to Windows 10 Pro edition, will I be able to roll back to Education edition if I ever wanted using the retrieved license?

    Digital license

    Thats how licensing works with Windows 10, the digital license is attached to your Microsoft Account and makes it easy to reactivate Windows 10 in the event you reinstall it.

    Digital license bind question

    Because you refer to a digitally licensed laptop in your first sentence which apparently isn't involved in the swap between two other PC's discussed in the next sentence?

    I've amended my suggestions above.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes.
