snagrat Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Would be great if true. The thing with this is that its okay to have the app installed in the image but do they provision for each user (this is another issue I guess). Sometime when logging on to windows 8 station you will see black screen for some time before getting to desktop. What it is doing is provisioning the app for the user. This process happens on all stations where the user has not logged on! so if they sort this out it would be a massive step forward of adopting windows 10 in education. Ash. From testing it appears apps are provisioned after login. They are not available straight away but at least it does not affect login times.
spc-rocket Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 From testing it appears apps are provisioned after login. They are not available straight away but at least it does not affect login times. Ah good stuff, looks like they thought of this. Do you get the "Hi!, we're setting things up" or similar, you may have hidden this with GPO in which case you may not get that. Just wondering what login times you're getting i.e. with a roaming profile say. Thanks, Ash.
mjs_mjs Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Free upgrade from Windows 7 and 8.1 but only for Home, Mobile and Pro SKUs I have feeling this means alot of staff will be expecting schools to go to 10 yesterday as it's FREE right? (i can read, but i bet the version information will be missed by many.)

fiza Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 MDOP is going to be included for free if your volume licensing agreement has Software Assurance. Does this mean that even if you don't transition to Windows 10 you still get MDOP if you have Software Assurance?
tmcd35 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Does this mean that even if you don't transition to Windows 10 you still get MDOP if you have Software Assurance? It does say 'and for renewal', so I'd take that as a yes when you buy new licences with SA. EES includes SA as standard I believe, so anyone on EES should get it automatically now. Should save £1-2 per licence
Arthur Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Does this mean that even if you don't transition to Windows 10 you still get MDOP if you have Software Assurance? Correct. 1

ColinP Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Microsoft will launch Windows Store for Business with Windows 10 | TechRadar So the business store can use office365 accounts?
JRowley Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Well that feature list just confirms that the Education license is effectively just a rebranded Enterprise. I have no idea what purpose it has other than that. Sure you can't use the LSB on the Education version but other than that it's just a needless addition to their licensing plans.
Wubbalubbadub Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 So who is going to use Windows 10 Education on there network?
snagrat Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 So who is going to use Windows 10 Education on there network? All schools should if you are licensed for it
