    So I've tried every method on this RS4 RTM, installing Pro for WS clean (not an upgrade), Installing Home then upgrading toe Pro for WS via my Pro for WS key, installing Pro then upgrading to Pro for WS, upgrading from Home to Pro for WS through the Windows Store, all of them result in the CBS being Professional not Professional Workstation!

    So much for Redstone 4 fixing the Pro for WS upgrade issues heh!

    Just checked the license switch from 17133.1 Pro to ProWork and after a reboot Product Policy shows 6TB MaxMem64, 4 Processors supported and Persistant Memory possible.

    EDIT: Ultimate Powerplan is available when clicking "Show additional plans".

    You can use this https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-product-policy-editor.39411/

    But you may not actually want to know - it depends I think. If you want to know what version you are running you can use the other one beginning with "MT" something.

    I'm not trying to be secretive - I'm just going for a fag. It is mentioned repeatedly earlier in this thread.

    I am just trying to determine if this copy of Windows 10 Pro WS is activated forever and is the real deal. I have the watermark that says for evaluation copy

    Please tell me the exact way you install it. Did you upgrade or install Pro for WS from the get go as you taught me how to switch the edition using your tool?

    No matter what I do, I don't see that Ultimate plan, there is not show additional plans for me

    @Phoenix so @mkuba50 is correct that on laptops that is the only available plan by design. Needs a desktop for it to be selectable.

    "Persistant Memory possible" when aplication are developed to allow direct load/store access to persistent memory by memory-mapping files on a persistent memory aware file system.

    Can you tell me the exact settings of that Ultimate Power plan so could create it manually?

    Like what are the monitor power off times, sleep/standby times/ what are the HDD power down settings? max CPU state?
