Windows 10: Windows 10 Education watermark

So I just installed Windows 10 Education, it's up to date and activated, but I have a watermark next to clock, will it be there forever?

Windows 10 Education Edition - Is There a Watermark on the Screen?

Hello there,

I just got a Windows 10 Education key free through my college, and I was digging into the inquires that the Windows 10 Education Edition comes with a permanent watermark. The watermark says "Windows 10 Education" and it is placed on the bottom right hand
corner of the desktop. I saw in a post by a moderator that the watermark is to show what version of Windows I have. I find that hard to believe because there is no watermark on my screen now, and I am running Windows 10 Pro.

Can someone tell me if the key I just got will install a watermark on Windows 10? I got it from onthehub.com

If it does, it will not be worth installing. I'm an IT major, and I don't want to look like I have non-genuine Windows.

Thanks.

That watermark is by design on Windows 10 Education systems.

 

Unfortunately I can't help you, but I'd just like to say that you're not the only one experiencing this issue. I have a watermark which displays "Windows 10 Education" in the bottom right corner of my desktop. My Windows is activated and up to date. I purchased this version today using dreamspark premium and performed a clean installation with USB device.

 

I have the same problem here *Sad

 

Ran into the same problem :/ Couldn't find any way to remove the watermark other than disabling custom desktop backgrounds altogether, so I found a solution through editing a branding hex file. Wrote up a blog post explaining how to do it (but note that it involved editing system files and I'm not responsible is Windows craps out on you).

Edit: It looks like this solution reverts itself upon restarting the computer; will look for a fix in the meantime.

 

How to remove the build number watermark from Windows 10s desktop

Found this, worked for me!

 

Is this watermark presentby design or is it a mistake and Microsoft will remove it?
If it is by design I think I'll just order the Multiple Editions SKU which installs Pro with the provided key.
I'm only allowed go choose one of the two so I really wanted to know if the Education edition is really supposed to have that watermark. If it does, that kind of explains the difference between it and Enterprise. Education is a cheaper Enterprise edition for students and schools/university PCs, that will force to have a watermark on the desktop to remind you what you're using ALL the time.

 

Seems it's by design

 

Thank you man! It works!
