Advice Request Windows 10 Education as an OS?

[limbskars94]

I’m in the process of building a computer right now and purchased Windows 10 the other day for about $100, but just today I received an email from my school with a list of softwares I can download for free through the Microsoft imagine program. One of the programs listed is Windows 10 Education which I’ve actually never heard of, so would anyone more familiar with it be able to shed some light on whether or not I could just use this as the OS for my next build and save $100?

I would go for it.
It's a great version built on the enterprise edition:

Some quotes:

Windows Education is basically the Enterprise version but for educational (non profit) use only.
I personally use it on my system because it's one of the only versions that allows a telemetry setting of 0 "Security".

The education version doesn't get ads or those shitty games installed. It offers more control and better defaults than enterprise. It's the best version, unless you like candy crush and that ilk.

A few of the personalization options are disabled, such as Windows Spotlight. However, as others have stated Education does have a lot of additional features than Home, such as BitLocker encryption.

In my experience it is just a Windows 10 Enterprise with a few additional features and I believe that if it is not managed in some way by your school it should serve a home user just fine.

Yeah, should be good.

If you decided to download the Windows 10 Education edition, make a hard copy USB / ISO. Then link it to your Microsoft Account as your Windows 10 Digital License Entitlement.

Were you able to retrieve a refund for the $100 you paid?
