I'm currently using Windows 10 Educational Edition.

I would like to do a fresh install of this version. Although I'm worried that if I use the MCT to install windows 10 it will not accept my education key.

Question: Will the education key work with the MCT or would it be better just to burn the education ISO to a memory stick and go from there?

Thanks.

  • Why not create a recovery disk with system files and use that to re-install windows

  • As of November 2018, it seems the new media creation tool for Windows 10 now accepts the education key - I used it today to do a clean reinstall on a school laptop and it accepted the previous key without issues.

Afaik, the tool doesn't support it. But there is a hack to get any ISO via techbench page.

  • Open this page, select "Windows (final)" and your Windwos 10 Build you want to get

    enter image description here

  • Now under Edition, select the Education(N) you want:enter image description here

  • now select your Langauge

    enter image description here

  • and your cpu architecture (32 Bit or 64Bit):

Download the ISO from the generated link from Microsoft servers and later create a bootable USB flash drive with Rufus if needed.

  • You should update your link since the test bench website is dead.

  • @Ramhound ok, I added the new (3rd party) page that still generates the links to MS servers
