Preface
Some time ago, many friends came to consult Xiaobai: Why did I install the Windows10 Professional Edition, but after activating it with xx, it became the Education Edition?
Well... This question is actually very simple, it is true that it is the professional version when it is installed, but the key of the education version is used when activating, so it becomes the education version after successful activation.
At this time, some friends will have a big question: Is there a big difference between the professional version and the education version?
In fact, the difference between the Pro and Education editions is not very large, and in daily use, the difference between the Education and Professional editions is not felt at all. Because the features of the Professional Edition are basically available on the Education Edition: Registry, Computer Management, Local Users and Groups are all normal.
What is the relationship between the Home Edition, Professional Edition, Education Edition, and Enterprise Edition?
- Home Edition
- Licensed inexpensive version of Windows for individual users. Some functions cannot be called up directly on the home version, and some functions need to be called up through the console.
- Professional version
- Based on the home version, it is suitable for computer enthusiasts and technicians, and compared to the Win10 homepage, it adds support for remote and mobile work, protection of sensitive corporate data, and the use of cloud computing technology. It also has Windows Update for Business, which Microsoft says reduces management costs, controls update deployment, and allows users to get security patches faster.
- Enterprise Edition
- Optimized for large enterprises. It adds support for long-term service for enterprise users, as well as advanced capabilities for Microsoft to volume license customers' devices, identities, applications, and sensitive corporate information for modern security threats.
- Educational Edition
- Most people on the Internet say that the education version is a better version than the enterprise version, because it is optimized by the enterprise version, but the specific ones have to be tested by themselves.
Anyway, we can't understand such a large paragraph of text above, anyway, the system is easy to use.
If you're struggling with installing the Pro version and then activating it becomes the Education version, adding an extra step before activating the system will solve the problem.
That is, before the system is activated, install a key of the professional version, and then activate the system, which is a proper professional version.
tutorial
Click [Right Mouse Button] in the Windows Start Menu - [Windows PowerShell (Administrator)]
Enter a command
slmgr /ipk W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX Press enter, and a message will appear that the product key has been successfully installed.
Then just do it to activate the system.
--End--
The system installs the key of the professional version before activation, and then activates the operation, and then the system can be activated as the professional version.
If you don't have a pre-installed key, you can just do it and it will be possible to activate the system to the education version.
But whether it is the professional version or the education version, the experience of using it is basically not much worse. You can't even feel the difference between the two versions.
