    will check it out later...this looks more for users inside Domain environment...as a stand alone u will not get much out of it from what u get in Pro.

    Yet. They removed full support for ReFS from Pro just to give the Workstation SKU another selling point. If they continue deprecating features, Workstation will eventually just be Pro and Pro will be the "7 minute abs" version of Home.

    I was reading somewhere that ReFS will be default filesystem on Windows 10 Pro for Workstation so I though that ReFS would be bootable but seems not yet.

    I am amused with all this talk about Windows 10 Pro for Workstations. While I type this I am holding the original Box with Windows for Workgroups inside with 8 Floppy Disks

    No, and it also cannot be repaired not by Windows or 3rd party programs.
    Well, this is too risky to use it even as filetrasher.)

    I didn't understand your reply, for me it's out of context, got nothing to do with °ツ comment. Could you reply again please?

    It means that ReFS
    1) non-bootable
    and
    2) non-repairable.

    Worked in the past with ReFS works oke but most software like imaging don't work with it maybe it has changed but in my opinion its not worth it

    I finally found how update my 16251 ProWS in 16273.1000 (rs3 Relase).
    Solution found in Thread : [DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16273 (PC)
    I put the gvlk Pro key (which unlock the download) and then when the status is switched to (waiting for installation) I handed the gvlk ProWS key and finally started the installation.

    That is no solution it's a switch back to pro, because pro-workstation can't upgrade to the new Insider Preview build, after the upgrade is finished you just have to re-insert the pro-work key and it will switch to pro-work.

    Did you reboot after the license switch :g:?

    Mine shows this when checking 4 CPUs in VMware (the program warns the machine might fail to start):

    Cross checked with Enterprise, what still shows 2 Sockets.

    Yes reboot after the license switch but windows say Windows 10 for Workstation and only 2 processors (Same as when I put the gvlk ProWS key on a Windows Pro "standard") !
    And yet it works for you ...
