    Hum this is very strange, Enterprise has the ProductPolicy "Kernel-RegisteredProcessors = 4" !

    With Windows 10 Pro (normal) if I change "Kernel-RegisteredProcessors" @ 4 with ProductPolicyEditor I have 4 sockets on my server 4 CPU !

    As soon as I can I test ...

    ProWS = kind of like chinese edition. Total waste. IMHO.
    You can always enable all features if you modify the license in the registry..

    Does anyone know what the official status of Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is?

    Microsoft had announced it, but I don't find too much about it on their site.
    Also, I can't find it anywhere in the Microsoft Store to buy.

    I can't remember how I ended up with my machine on PfW (I think got the hardware to activate from Home upgrade) then used the key to convert existing live upgrade Pro
    So it might not be the true PfW (how do I check for sure?), but it accepted all KB on the way so far
