# Switch Windows 10 Pro to Pro Education from Windows Store for Business
# Switch Windows 10 Pro to Pro Education from Microsoft Store for Education
Windows 10 Pro Education is a new offering in Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Windows 10, version 1607). This edition builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools by providing education-specific default settings.
If you have an education tenant and use Windows 10 Pro in your schools now, global administrators can opt-in to a free switch to Windows 10 Pro Education through the Windows Store for Business. To take advantage of this offering, make sure you meet the [requirements for switching](#requirements-for-switching).

To take advantage of this offering, make sure you meet the [requirements for switching](#requirements-for-switching).
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.

- **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 you turn off the setting to automatic switch 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 switch through the Windows Store for Business is an offering that provides organizations easier, more flexible access to the benefits of Windows 10 Pro Education edition.

## Switch from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education
Once you enable the setting to switch Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education, the switch will begin only after a user signs in to their device. The setting applies to the entire organization so you cannot select which users will receive the switch.
**To turn on the automatic switch from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education**
1. Sign in to [Windows Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/Store/Apps) with your work or school account.
If this is the first time you're signing into the Store, you'll be prompted to accept the Windows Store for Business Terms of Use.
1. Sign in to [Microsoft Store for Education](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/Store/Apps) with your work or school account.

## Roll back Windows 10 Pro Education to Windows 10 Pro
If your organization has the Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education switch enabled, and you decide to roll back to Windows 10 Pro or to cancel the switch, you can do this by:
- Logging into Windows Store for Business page and turning off the automatic switch.
- Logging into Microsoft Store for Education page and turning off the automatic switch.
- Selecting the link to turn off the automatic switch from the notification email sent to all global administrators.
Once the automatic switch to Windows 10 Pro Education is turned off, the change is effective immediately. Devices that were switched 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 switched 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 switch was enabled and then turned off will never see their device change from Windows 10 Pro.
**To roll back Windows 10 Pro Education to Windows 10 Pro**
1. Log in to [Windows Store for Business](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/Store/Apps) with your school or work account, or follow the link from the notification email to turn off the automatic switch.
1. Log in to [Microsoft Store for Education](https://businessstore.microsoft.com/en-us/Store/Apps) with your school or work account, or follow the link from the notification email to turn off the automatic switch.
2. Select **Manage > Account information** and locate the section **Automatic Windows 10 Pro Education upgrade** and follow the link.
3. In the **Upgrade Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education** page, select **Turn off the automatic upgrade to Windows 10 Pro Education**.
