    Easily available on Techbench, has the least UWP apps and the same administrative options as Enterprise.

    Downloading right now from the link you provided, ~Win10_Edu_20H2_English_x64.iso~

    Do you know if this iso has the new Start menu? I saw some pictures and really liked it, I`ll be switching from ltsc

    20H2 has the new Start Menu, it's one of the few new features.

    ps, the edu iso = the normal iso, same content and checksums.

    Eh, Steve!!!, you cannot do by yourself, request it in the account rename topic. Could take a few days, though, as Admins are busy and have a real life.
