Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, academic institutions can easily move from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education—no keys and no reboots. After one of your users enters the Azure AD credentials associated with a Windows 10 Pro Education license, the operating system turns from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education and all the appropriate Windows 10 Pro Education features are unlocked. When a license expires or is transferred to another user, the Windows 10 Pro Education device seamlessly steps back down to Windows 10 Pro.
Previously, only schools or organizations purchasing devices as part of the Shape the Future K-12 program or with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows 10 Pro Education to their users. Now, if you have an education tenant, you can take advantage of the Windows 10 Pro Education features.
Previously, only schools or organizations purchasing devices as part of the Shape the Future K-12 program or with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows 10 Pro Education to their users. Now, if you have a Azure AD for your organization, you can take advantage of the Windows 10 Pro Education features.
When you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro Education, you get the following benefits:
- **Windows 10 Pro Education edition**. Devices currently running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 can get Windows 10 Pro Education Current Branch (CB). This benefit does not include Long Term Service Branch (LTSB).
- **Support from one to hundreds of users**. The Windows 10 Pro Education program does not have a limitation on the number of licenses an organization can have.
- **Roll back to Windows 10 Pro at any time**. When a user leaves the domain or the license is revoked, the Windows 10 Pro Education device reverts seamlessly to Windows 10 Pro edition (after a grace period of up to 90 days).
- **Roll back to Windows 10 Pro at any time**. When a user leaves the domain or you turn off the setting to automatic upgrade to Windows 10 Pro Education, the device reverts seamlessly to Windows 10 Pro edition (after a grace period of up to 30 days).
In summary, the Windows 10 Pro Education free upgrade through the Windows Store for Business is an upgrade offering that provides organizations easier, more flexible access to the benefits of Windows 10 Pro Education edition.

Once the automatic upgrade to Windows 10 Pro Education is turned off, the change is effective immediately. Devices that were upgraded will revert to Windows 10 Pro only after the license has been refreshed (every 30 days) and the next time the user signs in. This means that a user whose device was upgraded may not immediately see Windows 10 Pro Education rolled back to Windows 10 Pro for up to 30 days. However, users who haven't signed in during the time that an upgrade was enabled and then turned off will never see their device change from Windows 10 Pro.
