Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations was released, but its not available at retail, its an OEM bundle because you need to purchase expensive hardware such as XEON processors and other workstation class hardware.

Its up on MSDN Subscriber Downloads if you have access to that. Gonna try it out on my Z210 this week when I get the chance.

Microsoft is very bad company. I had pay 200 EUR, get no key, no media. Old workstation was dead. On a new one download (upgrade to)  do not work. Microsoft is now a fraud company. I need my money back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Intek have no media for me.

That is the generic key for Pro Workstation found in product.ini.  It works for me to use that key to toggle from Pro to Pro Workstation.  If I enter it in the Activation screen in settings, I can see the edition change immediately.  If I then enter in the generic Pro key, it will toggle the edition back to Pro.  If I enter the generic Enterprise key, it will toggle to Enterprise Edition, etc.

Only editions licensed on a particular device will activate, but the generic key still works to toggle the Edition and relevant capabilities.

EDIT:  I find this all works the same, even on a Hyper-V VM with no license.  Any edition the VM has a license for will activate, but not other editions.

Please don't display a full key in the forum.

i have a key that ends with 2yv77 but doesn't work

I can toggle between various professional Windows 10 Editions by changing the Product Key.  I made an automated CMD file to do this.  I can have Settings open to the Activation page and watch the Edition almost instantly change.

There are several similar editions in product.ini.  Is there a chance that you used the Workstation N edition key instead of the standard one? The standard one ends in 2YV77.

The current publicly-released Windows 10 version 1709, build 16299.xxx, does not change the "underlying" Edition that was first installed, just by changing the Product Key.  So if you begin with Windows 10 Pro and then switch by Product Key to Pro Workstation, DISM and PowerShell commands will still show "Professional", while winver.exe and Settings App will show the changed Edition of ProfessionalWorkstaton.

I have noticed that the most recent Insider build 17063 performs a more thorough Edition change when you use a Product Key to instantly switch between professional editions.  The DISM and PowerShell commands shown above also confirm the changed Edition.
