### Switching for 1803 devices ### Switching for devices running Windows 10, version 1803
The switch motion for 1803 devices will behave differently than 1709 devices. MAK keys will only upgrade editions. For example: If a MAK key is applied to a device running Windows 10 Pro in S mode and an Enterprise MAK key is applied, the device will switch to Windows 10 Enterprise in S mode. The way that you switch a Windows 10, version 1803 device from S mode to EDU is different from Windows 10, version 1709. Instead of applying a MAK key (which only switches editions), you need to switch the device using Windows AutoPilot.
**1803 Devices**- Devices must be running Windows 10 Pro in S mode, version 1803.

### Switching for 1709 devices ### Switching for devices running Windows 10, version 1709
1709 devices running Windows 10 Pro in S mode are actually running an edition and not a "mode." MAK keys will only be able to upgrade editions. (i.e. An Enterprise MAK key applied on a device running in S mode will upgrade to Enterprise edition in S mode)
