Windows 10: Is Anydesk part of Microsoft, educate us please

I got a call today from a lady saying she's calling from Microsoft and that there are ha lets on my laptop and that their Microsoft technician is trying to help me.


She has my laptops key number so it's not a scam. I doubt it and whoever it was was working alongside other people. So please beware of all these thieves.


They call with numbers to make you believe they actually work there and sound very informative but don't let them deceive you. I closed my laptop and she called me again and said since she has my key she's going to block me and I can never use my laptop again.


I told her to go ahead but she's the scammer and did t sound professional when she was not having her way.


Share for other users to be aware. Always type their number into Google if it leads no where just cut the line. The number are the nunbers they called with i traced it and led me nowhere 01223241659, 01223241202 and there are more.

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.
