Top Windows resources for IT pros in educational environments

Following the introduction of new Microsoft products and services for education, including a new experience called Windows 10 S, I wanted to highlight the documentation and other resources available to help IT pros—or those charged with IT responsibilities—working in academic organizations configure, deploy, and manage Windows 10 and Windows 10 devices.

With Windows 10, version 1703 (also referred to as the Creators Update), it is more straightforward than ever to set up a classroom or school of devices and configure Windows to be education-ready. Here are some of the resources available to help.

Deploy and configure Windows 10 for education

Windows 10 configuration recommendations for education customers

Deployment recommendations for school IT administrators

Set up Windows devices for education with the Set up School PCs app

Set up a classroom of PCs in under an hour

Deploy Windows 10 in a school

Deploy Windows 10 in a school district

Upgrade Windows 10 Pro to Pro Education from Windows Store for Business

Set up Take a Test for high stakes assessments

Manage and deploy applications

Microsoft Intune for Education: free trial

Working with Microsoft Store for Education

Get Minecraft Education Edition

What if I need to set up an entire infrastructure for my school?

The new Microsoft Education system enables you to set up a full cloud IT solution for your school, acquire apps, and configure and deploy settings to your devices using Windows 10 (version 1703), Microsoft Intune for Education, Office 365 for Education, Minecraft: Education Edition, learning tools, and Whiteboard. See Get started: Deploy and manage a full cloud IT solution with Microsoft Education for more details, and for more information on complete solutions for education, see https://docs.microsoft.com/education.

To get a detailed look at the features and functionality in Windows 10 that are great for teachers, students, and IT professionals within education, you can also attend our May 23rd webinar. We’ll discuss device setup, the Take a Test app, the Microsoft Store for Education, Windows Update improvements, apps, and more.

How can I find out about new resources?

Sign up for the Windows IT Pro Insider newsletter, where we always announce the newest resources and provide subscriber-only tips and tricks from Microsoft product managers, engineers, and MVPs, and bookmark the new Windows 10 for Education page on docs.microsoft.com, where you’ll find links to technical documentation as well as video demonstrations.

Where can I learn more about Windows 10 S?

Windows 10 S has many of the features of Windows 10 Pro and provides educators and students with a familiar, productive Windows experience, but it exclusively runs apps from the Windows Store and uses Microsoft Edge as its default browser in order to streamline both security and performance. For more information—including a feature comparison chart for Windows 10 S, Windows 10 Home, and Windows 10 Pro—see the Windows 10 S FAQ.

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.

Quote from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...tion-customers:

Windows 10 Pro Education

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. More detailed information on these default settings is available in Manage Windows 10 and Windows Store tips, tricks and suggestions.

Windows 10 Pro Education is available on new devices pre-installed with Windows 10, version 1607 that are purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future).
Existing devices running Windows 10 Pro, currently activated with the original OEM digital product key and purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future), will upgrade automatically to Windows 10 Pro Education as part of the Windows 10, version 1607 installation.

Customers with Academic Volume Licensing agreements with rights for Windows can get Windows 10 Pro Education through the Volume Licensing Service Center, available at a later date.

Customers that deploy Windows 10 Pro are able to configure the product to have similar feature settings to Windows 10 Pro Education using policies. More detailed information on these policies and the configuration steps required is available in Manage Windows 10 and Windows Store tips, tricks and suggestions. We recommend that K-12 customers using commercial Windows 10 Pro read the document and apply desired settings for your environment.

continue on pc not work on windows 10 education

Think of the rules of an education based environment. some restrictions are by default in the Education Edition of Windows 10, some others are controlled by the institution as well.

My guess would be the not allowing of crib notes and/or outside online capabilities?

Anyway, I would suggest to contact the institutions IT department for more information/clarification on this topic if/as it may apply concerning.

For what it's worth to you,
