This is what the Start Menu looks like in build 14361.

 

They removed file explorer from the Start Menu? Nooooooooooooooooo :(

I don't want to have to mess about with putting that on there as a pinned item or something. :(

On the left hand side of the screenshot, all I can see is Power, Settings, Account Options and right at the top All Apps.

Yeah. That is annoying. File Explorer is missing from the Start Menu and taskbar (although there is a shortcut to it under All Apps > W > Windows System and it's on the Win+X menu). :(

Lets hope its not finished yet. Id be interest to see a 1607 build. Not sure what verion that is.

Same here. I've prepped as much as I can - KMS, Group Policies, built a mandatory profile, tested extensively, still have no intention of rolling out 10 for at least 12 months. It's just not there IMO, and feels like 8.0 in many ways.

Except that you'll never catch up as they release updates containing changes such as:

Although that's no problem at all. If you use their deployment tool for schools, there's a tile right on the start menu giving you direct access to Onedrive. File explorer is so old school. /Sarcasm finished :facepalm:

Microsoft has posted some new details on Windows 10 Pro Education.

Windows 10 Pro Education

Windows 10 Pro Education builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools. Windows 10 Pro Education is effectively a variant of Windows 10 Pro that provides education-specific default settings, including the removal of Cortana. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Windows Store suggestions. More detailed information on these default settings is available in Manage Windows 10 and Windows Store tips, tricks and suggestions.

 

Windows 10 Pro Education is available on new devices pre-installed with Windows 10, version 1607 that are purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future).

 

Existing devices running Windows 10 Pro, currently activated with the original OEM digital product key and purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future), will upgrade automatically to Windows 10 Pro Education as part of the Windows 10, version 1607 installation.

 

Customers with Academic Volume Licensing agreements with rights for Windows can get Windows 10 Pro Education through the Volume Licensing Service Center, available at a later date.

 

Customers that deploy Windows 10 Pro are able to configure the product to have similar feature settings to Windows 10 Pro Education using policies. More detailed information on these policies and the configuration steps required is available in Manage Windows 10 and Windows Store tips, tricks and suggestions. We recommend that K-12 customers using commercial Windows 10 Pro read the document and apply desired settings for your environment.

More confusion, how much does it cost? What's the difference? Why is Windows 10 Pro Education a lower level than Windows 10 Education?

 

I'm moving to linux, much easier

Why is Windows 10 Pro Education a lower level than Windows 10 Education?

Windows 10 Education is based on the Enterprise edition, so that's why it's a level above Pro and Pro Education.

So they are disabling Cortana to protect 'to protect students from possible exposure to sponsored/advertising content and possibly inappropriate material on the Internet.',

 

What about the Education users who are not Students? E.g. ME! I use Cortana a lot!

 

Can't see why they couldn't have something in group policy to disable Cortana! Then the teaching/admin staff could keep it....
