Changing from oem windows 10 pro edition to windows 10 education pro Edition

Because your computer wasn't purchased with a k-12 academic licenses through OEM partners, it cannot be turned into a Pro Education edition at no cost. Just like you said, you can manually change it, to strip down certain features to make it like the Pro Education edition (Not Education edition, but Pro Education, they are two different things). This is the way to do it without cost.

The link I shared with you list all of the things you can disable current Pro edition:

Windows Spotlight on the lock screen.

Start menu app suggestions.

Additional apps on Start.

Windows tips.

Microsoft account notifications.

By disabling the features above, will that meet the needs? If not, then you will need to contact an academic partner to get an education license.

Or do you need detail instruction how to disable all of those features in group policy?

 

How to recover the lost messages?


1. Re-create your mail folder hierarchy by dragging folders into place in the Folder list. Note that any folder you have created to group sub-folders but that does not itself contain messages will not appear in the Folder list and so must be created again.
2. Re-download the list of newsgroups from each news account.
3. Reset your subscribed newsgroups and download messages again.
4. Reset synchronization options on IMAP and newsgroup folders.
5. Edit any message rule that moves or copies messages to folders other than the Inbox.
These are the steps from which you can get the lost information back. And if your information not recovered again then it might be severe problem .In this case you have to go for recovery software to get your dbx files data back.
