  1. How to switch from win 10 education to windows 10 pro


    Ok so this is my problem.

    I got the Windows 10 installer media from microsoft site.
    The problem is that the site gave me windows 10 education and not windows 10 pro !


    I want to ask if there is a way to "switch" from education to windows 10 pro ?

    I have a legally bought OEM but i dont want to reinstall all windows again.

    Or do i have to reinstall everything ?



    Any ideas ?

    Thank you

    :)

    Windows 10 Education Pro


    I've not had an opportunity to test Pro Education edition yet but I am running normal Education on a Hyper-V virtual machine and on dual boot with Pro on a laptop. Basically Education is exactly as Enterprise, meant for domain or Azure AD use. Main differences when compared to Pro are missing Cortana and no possibility to use Microsoft account as initial user account when setting up Windows, although when selecting initial user as local domain user a normal local account will be created which can then be switched to a Microsoft account instead of joining a domain.

    Native Windows apps in Windows 10 Education edition are the same than in Pro edition, Cortana being the only exception.

    If you already have setup Windows 10 Pro on your machines with a customised image I can see no benefits in doing the job again deploying an almost similar OS. This is of course only my personal subjective opinion based on what I know at the moment; I have no knowledge or insight about what additional features (see highlighted part in quote below) Pro Education might be and if they would be reason enough to upgrade to Pro Education.

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
