Windows 10: Windows Education/Enterpise OS Question, no longer student, how do I get into my computer now?

curtmina · Sep 15, 2021

Hello,I was a graduate student at my university and used my student status to get the Windows Education OS for a new personal computer I built. I am no longer a student or worker at my university and they have closed/locked my account. I am unable to login to my personal computer now and am at a loss for what to do. Is there a way to update my license without having to reinstall a different Windows OS? If I need to install a different windows OS will that erase or overwrite all the files I have? What should my next steps be to be able to use my PC?

:)

Office 365 Education free to students and teachers in US

Making it easier for teachers and students to work together

Microsoft Office has long been a staple in the teacher toolkit for communicating and collaborating with their classes. Today we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve made it easier for teachers to get Office on all their devices—while storing and sharing class material with students using OneDrive.
Last week we were excited to share with you the next steps in bringing Office to everyone, on every device. The updated Office apps for iPhone and iPad and the upcoming Android and Windows 10 apps are full of great features to help students and teachers do more and achieve more. When combined with an Office 365 subscription and full Office, they can do even more and the experience can be incredibly impactful on classroom .

Millions of teachers and students are already eligible through their school to utilize the advanced editing and collaboration capabilities, unlimited OneDrive storage and Dropbox integration of an Office 365 subscription and may not realize it. So we’ve created a simple way for you to find out.
Beginning today, teachers in the U.S. who are eligible to get Office from their school can sign up for Office 365 themselves using a school-provided email address at www.office.com/teachers. Students in the U.S. can check their eligibility at www.office.com/getoffice365.

By signing up for an Office 365 Education account students and teachers receive:

The latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access and Publisher.

Installations of Office on up to five PCs or Macs.

Advanced capabilities on Office mobile apps including Windows tablets, iPad, iPhone and Android (when available).

1 TB of storage using OneDrive for business (unlimited storage coming soon).

Office Online to work on Office files with anyone, anywhere in real-time.

Teachers, to check if you’re eligible:

Go to office.com/teachers.

Enter a valid school-provided email address.

Students, to check if you’re eligible:

Go to office.com/getoffice365.

Enter a valid school-provided email address.

For school IT, allowing students and teachers to use the self-sign up process makes it easier to manage Office 365 and deliver all the benefits of the world’s leading productivity tools to your entire organization.
Worldwide availability of the self-sign up process for both students and faculty is planned for later in the year.
