Enterprise and Education.

Yes, winactivate or MAS can activate all of them.

 

There is no LTSC available right ?

 

Not for win 11.

 

what makes Education superior to Pro or Pro for Workstations?

another question, what is the difference between Education and Pro Education?

 

Highest, least restricted editions, where all Group Policies actually work.

The "Pro".

Na, seriously, Pro Education is based on Pro and exactly as restricted, if not more. Education is based on Enterprise and lacks some preinstalled Apps.

thanks a lot for this comprehensive answer!

 

pro edu = pro

enterprise = education

pro workstation = pro with a litte enterprise / education features

same fonctionality

ask @xinseo

 

Enterprise has all of them. And also supports 6TB of RAM. Education "only" takes up to 4TB.

 

only 4TB of RAM? wow that's too little

 

Sure ive only got a 9PB internal SSD on me Intel Gen 15 laptop would i have enough Ram with 6 Terrabytes

 

That's why I put "only" between quotation marks. My point was to tell the OP that Enterprise is the SKU that contains it all. It's even slightly above Education.

 

Windows 11 Enterprise contains all the features. Maybe Education Edition as well?

 

yes same product only price change

 

By reading that, I remember that the german department of education (Bildungsministerium) and "institute for quality development at schools" only allowed "Windows Education" for their "internal teacher network" (using dark fibre for communications),
but strictly forbid "Windows Pro Education". I wonder what could have been the main reason for this decision...they also enforced disabling Windows Firewall and recommend using "VirusScan Enterprise by McAfee".

 

As I discussed in another thread, there were at least two cases in W10 history where the updates for Enterprise (and PPI) lasted way longer than for other (non LTSx) SKUS .

So, given the other differences between Ent and Edu are really minimal, the (relative) long support time-frame makes Enterprise a clear winner.

 

Windows 10/11 Enterprise contains all features.

Note: this is from what I observed and may be an oversimplification. There could be many behind-the-scenes feature differences that I did not mention.

When Windows 10 is introduced in 2015, Pro has only 3 variants: Pro, Education, and Enterprise.

Before Windows 10 version 1709, Enterprise and Education have the same maximum hardware support.
Windows 10 version 1709 introduces 'Pro for Workstations' with a higher-end hardware support, and it's also enabled in Enterprise but not Education.

You can roughly summarise that Enterprise 1709 and later versions has combined features of 'Education' with 'Pro for Workstations'.


Pro Education is based on Pro - just like Education is based off Enterprise. Both editions' Windows Spotlight features are disabled by default.

Pro Education is introduced from Windows 10 version 1607.

*The webpage mentions that 1607 introduces Education, but visiting this page reveals it's available back in 2015.
