While you can’t upgrade directly from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to Windows 10 Education, you can instead upgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to Windows 10 Enterprise 1709, then use the mechanism I described above to change the product key to Windows 10 Education – one additional step in the process.
One of the questions asked at Ignite, and more recently on Twitter, was how to move from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to Windows 10 Education. The ability to support stepping up from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise automatically through Subscription Activation is something we’re looking at for the future. Check out the Ignite session that Kamal and I did on this topic, available at We announced a similar capability recently, Windows 10 Subscription Activation, which leverages the same technology behind the scenes, but today that only supports stepping up from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise. – they don’t actually activate the OS, they just cause it to try to find a KMS server that can activate it. In case you are wondering, the product keys shown in that video are publicly documented at Here’s a short video showing how to do this: Now you can also change from Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Education, again just by changing the product key. Now in Windows 10 1709, we’ll add one more OS into the fold. That capability was added in Windows 10 1607. Some of you may have seen me do a demo at previous events showing how you could change from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise, just by changing the product key – the change is immediate, no reboot is required.
