Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro VS. Windows 11 Pro Education

I am taking a class, and the school gave me a copy of Windows 11 Pro Education. I am already running Windows 11 Pro on my machine, what is the difference between Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Pro Education? i tried looking it up myself but could not find any answers about these two versions specifically. Am I better off just using what I have?

Windows 10 Pro Education ??

The same is true of Windows 10 Pro Education.

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.
