Win 10 SKU for schools

[Trapper]

Has anyone got a definitive answer from Microsoft whether schools with EES can use Enterprise as an upgrade path from OEM Windows x, or do we have to use Education?

[FN-GM]

If you have software assurance you can use Enterprise. I think EES comes with SA for everyone?
