    Afaik, the full 17133.1 ESD's didn't contain Pro-ws or Pro-education.

    Could this be because ESDs downloaded by the MCT are the ClientConsumer variant?

    In that case, in order to see ProWS and ProEdu one would need to get the ClientBusiness type.
    But I could be wrong.

    Pro-ws and pro-edu on the 17127 iso were on the clientconsumer iso (it contains home) ;)

    MCT can download Clientbusiness VL too.

    Insert the pro-ws key to do a license switch to pro-ws, it won't be activated anymore, use KMS_VL_ALL v20 (@abbodi1406 ) or go thru the trouble for establishing a HWID for pro-ws.

    Does W10 Pro for Workstations contain the same bloatware as found in most of the other SKUs, or has it been trimmed down like LTSB?

    What is one person's bloat is another's necessity. It is not trimmed down.

    Would you consider Candy Crush a necessity?

    Remember, anything extra takes up little space, can be unpinned from the Start Menu, and does not affect performance.

    Something interesting I noticed.

    I use Acronis True Image to create an image of my boot drive for backup purposes. I have Windows 7 (Pro x64) and Windows 10 installed on separate SSDs and then I can switch back and forth between Win7 and Win10 by swapping drives.

    Both hard drives have identical software installed, the only difference is the operating system. All my other files (music, movies, etc) are on a differnt drive. I noticed that the Acronis backup image for Windows 10 (Pro x64 build 16299) was about 3 GB bigger than the image for Win 7 -- and that's after uninstalling Candy Crush and all the other unnecessary junk that I don't want from Win 10.

    I switched to Win10 Pro Workstation a few months ago and did a clean install of build 17134 as soon as it was available last month.

    I just noticed that the Acronis backup image for 17134 Pro Workstation is about 3 GB smaller than 16299 Pro -- about the same size as the image for Win7

    Not a scientific test, but interesting.
