Windows 10 is available in several editions, providing choice and convenience to organizations based on their requirements. Windows 10 Enterprise, available through Volume Licensing, is for organizations that require deep and granular manageability, control, and security capabilities. Windows 10 Pro was designed for organizations who do not require or need the level of functionality in the enterprise edition, but still would like to purchase Windows 10 through volume licensing in bulk. For organizations that do not want to buy in bulk or do not have dedicated IT staff, we will offer [Windows 10 Enterprise E3 as a subscription](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/07/12/announcing-new-subscription-options-for-windows-10-and-surface-for-businesses/) in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner network. Additionally, the same enterprise capabilities that come with Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise are available to schools and universities through [Windows 10 Education](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edu/windows/index).

Windows 10 provides organizations with various options to manage an employee’s user experience so they can ensure a consistent and predictable experience for employees. Based on specific business requirements, IT pros can use Group Policy or mobile device management (MDM) to:
- Provide a default user experience based on their organizational standards.
- Configure a device for a specific, controlled scenario such as a kiosk that displays a single application or shared PC which would automatically reset when the person signs off.
- Configure a device for a specific, controlled scenario such as a kiosk that displays a single application or shared PC which would automatically reset when the employee signs off.
- Restrict access to services such as Cortana or the Windows Store.
