We recommend staying in S mode. However, in some limited scenarios, you might need to switch to Windows 10 Pro, Home, or Enterprise (not in S mode). You can switch devices running Windows 10, version 1709 or later.
A number of other transformations are possible depending on which version and edition of Windows 10 you are starting with. Depending on the details, you might switch between S mode and the ordinary version or convert between different editions while staying in or out of S mode. The following quick reference table summarizes all of the switches or conversions that are supported by various means:
If a device is running this version of Windows 10 | and this edition of Windows 10 | then you can switch or convert it to this edition of Windows 10 by these methods: | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Store for Education (switch/convert all devices in your tenant) | Microsoft Store (switch/convert one device at a time) | Intune (switch/convert any number of devices selected by admin) | ||

It also depends on the year, make, and model of your car. A window switch can be sold individually but also comes in sets of two, three, or four.
Important
While it's free to switch to Windows 10 Pro, it's not reversible. The only way to rollback this kind of switch is through a bare-metal recovery (BMR) reset. This restores a Windows device to the factory state, even if the user needs to replace the hard drive or completely wipe the drive clean. If a device is switched out of S mode via the Microsoft Store, it will remain out of S mode even after the device is reset.
Switch one device through the Microsoft Store
Use the following information to switch to Windows 10 Pro through the Microsoft Store or by navigating to Settings and then Activation on the device.
Note these differences affecting switching modes in various releases of Windows 10:
- In Windows 10, version 1709, you can switch devices one at a time from Windows 10 Pro in S mode to Windows 10 Pro by using the Microsoft Store or Settings. No other switches are possible.
- In Windows 10, version 1803, you can switch devices running any S mode edition to the equivalent non-S mode edition one at a time by using the Microsoft Store or Settings.
- Windows 10, version 1809, you can switch devices running any S mode edition to the equivalent non-S mode edition one at a time by using the Microsoft Store, Settings, or you can switch multiple devices in bulk by using Intune. You can also block users from switching devices themselves.
- Sign into the Microsoft Store using your Microsoft account.
- Search for 'S mode'.
- In the offer, select Buy, Get, or Learn more.
You'll be prompted to save your files before the switch starts. Follow the prompts to switch to Windows 10 Pro.

Switch one or more devices by using Microsoft Intune
Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, if you need to switch multiple devices in your environment from Windows 10 Pro in S mode to Windows 10 Pro, you can use Microsoft Intune or any other supported mobile device management software. You can configure devices to switch out of S mode during OOBE or post-OOBE - this gives you flexibility to manage Windows 10 in S mode devices at any point during the device lifecycle.
- Start Microsoft Intune.
- Navigate to Device configuration > Profiles > Windows 10 and later > Edition upgrade and mode switch.
- Follow the instructions to complete the switch.
Block users from switching
You can control which devices or users can use the Microsoft Store to switch out of S mode in Windows 10.To set this, go to Device configuration > Profiles > Windows 10 and later > Edition upgrade and mode switch in Microsoft Intune, and then choose Keep in S mode.
S mode management with CSPs
In addition to using Microsoft Intune or another modern device management tool to manage S mode, you can also use the WindowsLicensing configuration service provider (CSP). In Windows 10, version 1809, we added S mode functionality that lets you switch devices, block devices from switching, and check the status (whether a device is in S mode).

Roll back Windows 10 Pro Education to Windows 10 Pro
If your organization has the Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Pro Education change enabled, and you decide to roll back to Windows 10 Pro or to cancel the change, you can do this by: Simlab composer 8 pro for mac free download.
- Logging into Microsoft Store for Education page and turning off the automatic change.
- Selecting the link to turn off the automatic change from the notification email sent to all global administrators.
Once the automatic change to Windows 10 Pro Education is turned off, the change is effective immediately. Devices that were changed will revert to Windows 10 Pro only after the license has been refreshed (every 30 days) and the next time the user signs in. This means that a user whose device was changed may not immediately see Windows 10 Pro Education rolled back to Windows 10 Pro for up to 30 days. However, users who haven't signed in during the time that a change was enabled and then turned off will never see their device change from Windows 10 Pro.
Note
Devices that were changed from mode to Windows 10 Pro Education cannot roll back to Windows 10 Pro Education S mode.
To roll back Windows 10 Pro Education to Windows 10 Pro
Log in to Microsoft Store for Education with your school or work account, or follow the link from the notification email to turn off the automatic change.
Select Manage > Benefits and locate the section Windows 10 Pro Education and follow the link.
In the Revert to Windows 10 Pro page, click Revert to Windows 10 Pro.

You will be asked if you're sure that you want to turn off automatic changes to Windows 10 Pro Education. Click Yes.
Click Close in the Success page.
All global admins get a confirmation email that a request was made to roll back your organization to Windows 10 Pro. If you, or another global admin, decide later that you want to turn on automatic changes again, you can do this by selecting change to Windows 10 Pro Education for free from the Manage > Benefits in the Microsoft Store for Education.
Preparing for deployment of Windows 10 Pro Education licenses
If you have on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domains, users will use their domain-based credentials to sign in to the AD DS domain. Before you start deploying Windows 10 Pro Education to users, you need to synchronize the identities in the on-premises AD DS domain with Azure AD.
You need to synchronize these identities so that users will have a single identity that they can use to access their on-premises apps and cloud services that use Azure AD (such as Windows 10 Pro Education). This means that users can use their existing credentials to sign in to Azure AD and access the cloud services that you provide and manage for them.
(Azure AD Connect) is responsible for synchronization of identities between the on-premises AD DS domain and Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is a service that you can install on-premises or in a virtual machine in Azure.
