Windows 10: Is there a Windows 10 discount for educators that is not for just an upgrade?

I have a newly built computer that only has Ubuntu currently. I would like to purchase and install Windows 10. I teach at a university, so I can get the Windows 10 Education upgrade for less than $15, but I need to have an older Windows OS installed in order to use this upgrade, which I obviously don't have on my new computer. So, I wanted to ask you folks whether there is any way I can get an educator discount on the full Windows 10 Home (not just an upgrade). Thanks in advance!

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.
