Windows 10: How do I do a clean install of Windows 11 Pro Education?

I want to do a clean re-installation of Windows 11 Pro Education, but that edition does not appear on the list the installation media tool presents when it asks you to choose an edition. Windows Education is there but no Pro Ed.

How can I move from Windows 11 Education to Pro?

I used Windows 11 Education for work but now I gave the computer to my son and I want to move to Pro.

I bought a product key and tried the steps listed here but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

*There is no data on the drive that I want to keep.

 

Win10 Pro Education

Sorry, there is no upgrade path from Education to Professional. You would have to do a clean install of Windows 10 Pro.

Quoting Andre's post from

Windows 10 Education is an academic edition of Windows 10 used in schools. Features like Cortana are removed because of the environment it is used in.

Windows 10 Pro Education builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools. Windows 10 Pro Education is effectively a variant of Windows 10 Pro that provides education-specific default settings,
including the removal of Cortana1. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Windows Store suggestions.

If you want to downgrade to the Windows 10 Pro edition, you will need to perform a clean install and you will need a unique product key to install it. The Windows 10 Pro Edu or Windows 10 Education key will not activate Windows 10 Pro.

If you don't have a license for Windows 10 Pro, you will either need to request it from the institution you got Windows 10 Education; or you will have to purchase a license for Pro, then perform a clean install.

Re-Install Windows 10 Pro Education

Hey there,

I have got a notebook here, which had Windows 10 Pro Education pre-installed. Because there was a problem with an update, I wanted to perform a clean installation. That's why I created a USB-Boot Stick for Windows 10 with the media creation tool.

Now, when I try to reinstall windows with this stick, the problem is that I cannot choose Windows 10 Pro education from the list. It only offers me all the other versions including Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Education but not the Version Windows 10 Pro Education. Because the version was pre-installed on the PC, I do not have a product key either. First I thought that it would change version automatically when I install the normal education Version (without pro), but then I recognized that this did not happen.

Now I ask myself how it is possible to Re-Install pre-installed Windows 10 Pro Education (not the normal education and not the normal pro version) on that notebook? Maybe somebody here can help me.

Thanks!
