    Just tested inplace upgrade of Windows 10 Core/Home to Windows 10 Education

    dism /online /Set-TargetEdition command failed.

    Did Slui method.

    Input Windows 10 Education KMS Ckient Key XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-VCFB2

    Upgrade went fine. Reboot and system is now Education Edition.

    MS mentions it equals to Windows 10 Enterprise

    My Enterprise installed from ESD says Test Mode. It's activated.

    I've tested both: applying offline upgraded WIM & upgrade online. For both cases, "Windows 10 Education" watermark remains on the desktop. Toggling the value of "PaintDesktopVersion" from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop doesn't affect anything. Seems that the watermark isn't dependent on activation status too.

    :g:

    In VM one could check to remove with a WM Remover and see whether the WMIC OS Name branding is crippled :g:. Like it did with the Eval Watermarks.

    wmic os get caption should state 'Microsoft Windows 10' in case.

    I have a 5 year old Dell Latitude laptop I use for testing. I did an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium (activated) to Windows 10 Home (activated). I entered the education key using 'slui'. It did the upgrade. There's a Windows 10 Education watermark. But now it's no longer activated. I'll restore Windows 10 Home from a full backup. I wish this had worked - and remained activated. Maybe someone will figure out a way to do it and retain the activation.
