    Hello everyone... Yesterday I created a clean install ISO for ProWS using DISM and OSCDIMG...
    Decided to give ReFS a go and formatted my second, 3TB HDD with that file system. All seems fine.

    Now I'll just wait until MS starts releasing cumulative updates for ProWS and ProEducation so I can update the machine.
    If they published this edition in the Microsoft Store, it shouldn't take long until it becomes official and starts receiving CUs normally.

    Thanks everyone for help!

    This is confusing.. do you still need KMS to activate Pro-WS?

    Only if you don't have a HWID for Pro-WS.

    I thought Microsoft was going to release workstation on November 1st so shouldn't the updates on real workstation install start working by now?

    I am on converted from pro install right now and updates appear to be working correctly. I wonder what happens to us with future updates?

    Yesterday evening I installed Enterprise edition on one of my PCs and immediately upgraded it to Pro for Workstations by entering a product key taken from my MyVisualStudio subscription.
    After a while my PC downloaded and successfully installed October 17, 2017 Cumulative Update (KB4043961). Now my PfW copy is at 16299.19 Build.

    Why hasn't Microsoft provided a clean ISO of Pro-WS yet?

    I upgraded through Windows Store from PRO to PRO Workstation, exactly what did I get? Paid around 1900 SEK for it. Winver says Pro Workstation and about-dialog in "new" control panel. Is there any other way to check if I got "true" PRO Workstation?
