That capability was added in Windows 10 Now in Windows 10 , we’ll add one more OS into the fold. Dec 09,  · Also my school does not provide me with the download or upgrade for Education, only my product key. Where can i download the upgrade to windows 10 edu? Lastly, I have two storage devises installed in my PC. I have an SSD which only has Windows Installed and a HDD which has all my other programs installed. If i have to clean install for EDU.

Some vendors offer an upgrade option as part of the purchase, but many PCs sold in the retail channel are preloaded with Home edition. This could also be the case if you took advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade offer on a PC running a Home edition of Windows 7 or Windows 8. In either case, the upgrade takes just a few minutes.

If you perform a reinstallation of Windows, Microsoft’s activation servers will recognize the hardware and activate Windows 10 automatically. I have tested this scenario multiple times on hardware that originally shipped with Windows Home and was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.

After the upgrade was complete, I used a bootable USB flash drive containing Windows 10 setup files to reinstall a clean copy of Windows 10 Pro, skipping the option to enter a product key as part of setup, as shown below.

So now I’m interested to know if it is possible to do? I would love if there is a way to simply enter a product key, download what needs to be downloaded, and simply install Windows 10 Professional just like I would install any update. I hope this is how upgrading from Home to Professional would work for example?

The other thing is that I would like to know what’s the thing with Education edition? So does that mean that switching from Professional to Education is consider as an upgrade? I don’t get that, as Education edition seems so crippled to me compared to Professional.

I don’t know, maybe it does have some features which I am not going to use. Select Next to start the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.

Have been upgraded to a newer version of Windows by upgrading from Windows 7, 8 or Windows 10? If you wish to go back to an earlier version of Windows, and would prefer to go to Windows 10 rather than Windows 10 at all, then you can easily do so — provided you move within one month of upgrading. This will be the first time Windows 10 Pro cannot be activated either by Edu or Education keys.

Depending on whether or not you need Windows 10 Pro license, you can request it either from the institution where you got Windows 10 Education or buy a license for Pro after performing a clean installation. The following Microsoft article notes that you may still use Office University due to its four-year subscription length.
