Windows 10 Version change

[LukeAdl]

Hello All, most of the computers are set on Windows 10 pro on our domain however we wanted to change them to Windows 10 education as there is around 60 computers is there any way to do this wide scale rather than going to every single one.

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Kind Regards,

Depends... what are you using for deployment? If your using SCCM, you should be able to setup an Upgrade Operating System task sequence... if not, we might have to think of some creative ideas.

This got me thinking to a few years back when I had to change a server 2008 R2 to Enterprise Edition and it was a simplish command. I don't know if this will be of any help but may be worth a try if you fit the requirements and if you have no SCCM or re-imaging is out of the question.

Only issue with that might be that it is Pro Education and not Education. Education has more features than Pro Education ironically.

No SCCM unfortunately.

I do have netsupport on all the PCs which lets me run files to all computers. So i was thinking if there was a command to install a provisioning package or a command to run a upgrade with the key then I could push it out. Just cant find one

And the provisioning package freaks out when I try to install it from a remote device.

Dism /Online /Get-CurrentEdition

 

 

; List Windows Version you can upgrade too
