Enthusiast, thank you for clarification. So once I change pro to ws version (old build) I can update it via windows update function or should I do a clean install? If clean install then where do I get the latest WS version? I read that the serial switch trick won't work with the final Windows 10 pro....
The updates for 16299.xxx don't apply to ProfessionalWorkstation. And a license-switch on 16299.xxx won't be the full Pro-WS. From IP 17063 on it will, so on RS4 it probably will be working.
You can mount Home edition install.wim and change to WSPro or any other edition. Code: DISM /image:YOURMOUNTPATH /Get-Targeteditions Then put edition in this command, save, and unmount. Code: DISM /image:YOURMOUNTPATH /set-edition:EDITIONYOUWANTTOCHANGETO
Do you mean that by upgrading from 16299 version to WS, you might think working on WS but in reality you won't have the "real" edition of WS installed on the machine so you won't benefit from all WS settings and options when upgrading from 17063 to WS, you will be able to benefit from all WS settings as the upgrade will be done correctly ?
Where do I get the install.wim? I used UUPDL then converted it to ISO using UUP to ISO converter. I saw the option to create wim but when I tried it I received the error --> Code: Error: 87 The /SourceIndex: option is missing a required argument. For more information, refer to the help for the /SourceIndex: option.

If you created the ISO successfully, you can either mount it, or extract it using WinRAR or 7Zip. The install.wim is in the sources folder. If you mount the ISO you will need to copy install.wim to another location.
The info is not even complete, if you want a Pro-WS conversion then use WES by @s1ave77 and it will set the sku and flags for you, next open the iso you've created and replace the existing one with the pro-ws one, made by WES and save the iso. Or install Home and use the pro-ws key and it will do an online upgrade to pro-ws (that is not a license switch). This is not from UUP>ISO but from the older version of WES?
This is from edition switcher when I tried to switch edition of install.wim created by UUP>ISO ->option 2 - create install.wim So What I tried is I created install.wim by choosing option 2 in uup>iso then took that wim and used WES converter to convert that wim to pro ws edition.

You need the Windows 10 Core Version to convert to Professional Workstation. And not the Professional Version of Windows 10.
Since the new UUP files are only offered as Home and Pro + their N versions, it can be done from Home or Pro (or the N versions for N): Code: dism.exe /image:c:\mount /Get-CurrentEdition Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.16299.15 Image Version: 10.0.17083.1000 Current edition is: Current Edition : Professional The operation completed successfully.

Yes I know, but mitti2005 used the 10.0.16278.1000 Windows 10 Pro version, The 16278.1000 can only convert with the Core Version to the ProWS. And the WES tool uses only the Core Version to convert.
