[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Pro for Workstations SKU

I did a license switch from the Microsoft Store.

Checked the switched OS with ProductPolicy Editor and yes, now 4 physical processors are supported as well as 6TB of RAM.
Which, as was stated here in another post, are features also present on Enterprise.

This is what makes me think ProWS is actually a stripped-down Enterprise, just like S is a stripped-down Professional.

 

Any idea where to download windows 10 insider preview 16257

 

If you are trying to make a digitally activated ProWS then 16278 works.

 

Any links for 16278? I searched everywhere but can’t find it

The opposite is logical
ProfW is a Pro edition with extra Enterprise features

 

That is exactly why I use it.

 

So enterprise would have more features?

 

No, ProWS has more.

 

But do you use them

 

dhjohns, Enterprise is always NO. 1 Client, isn't it?

 

I have no clue. I have never used Enterprise, I see no need, but I am using ProWS now. I have a digital license tied to my MS account.

 

There are so many features. I use what I like.

 

I have digital license for both enterprise and pro for workstations but still deciding which version to use.

seen that too switching from Entreprise to ProWS

 

Here I have 16.299 Pro for Workstation. Tried to update to 17.074 but the system won't...after restart all Windows Insider settings are reverted back to non-Windows Insider. Any help, please? Is here somebody with the same issues?

 

It is possible to convert the 1709 (OS Build 17074.1000) WIM to Pro for Workstations (I used GodHand's conversion tool).
After installation you get Windows 10 Pro for Workstations Insider Preview.
So far, so good! However, I wasn't able to activate it.
You can do a key conversion to Enterprise Insider Preview which activates.

The insider evaluation copy expires 7 March 17...
I have no idea what version you'll get if you let windows update do an automated fast-track update. Meaning that even if you could get PfW Insider Preview to activate, in less than two months, I think you'll have to do a complete bare-metal reinstall!

Spoiler: Proof

I activated it with a kms server and the GVLK key. I inserted kms into registry. Just for testing though in Hyper-V as I have a digitally activated PWS attached to my MS account.
