Windows 10 EDU -> Windows 10 ENT

[jmig]

Hello, we have several devices in our environment on Windows 10 Education and would like to migrate these to Windows 10 Enterprise. Microsoft TechNet alludes to this being possible, but does not have any support documentation on how to do so.

 

Has anyone upgraded (or is it a downgrade?) from EDU to ENT, and if so, what is the process?

Edit: I am hoping to avoid wiping and re-imaging.

 

Thanks

why? your education licence doesn't licence you for ent.

No, just some issues related to branching to EDU vs the ENT edition via SCCM. Our SCCM admins are only supporting branching for ENT

Microsoft TechNet alludes to this being possible

Education to Enterprise isn't possible (at least through DISM) because Enterprise isn't classed as a "Higher" edition by Microsoft.

You can use Enterprise LTSB though

This MS article seems to suggest that you can go from Enterprise to Education but not the other way?

And this table suggests that you can do it but classed as a downgrade

Good old MS eh?

Haha. Exactly our confusion.
