    First, I would say you qualify as a student. Second, if you are that brutally honest about complying with terms and conditions, then realize that you cannot purchase the cheaper OEM system builder's licenses and use them on your own personal computer, either (except Windows 8.1, which was weird). So you either need to qualify yourself as a student, or you need to purchase a full retail packaged product in order to comply with all Microsoft Terms and Conditions.

    If you're able to get a "Windows 10 pro retail version", you will be able to use it in the far future without problems.

    well i am a student and have a student ID but it's not with any universities , its threw my union and its training partnership program i'm CNA , but it is a valid student ID with a valid student ID number. but still not sure if that qualifies for MS stuff.
    I finally found it:

    Individual must be either a full- and part-time enrolled student, or a faculty / staff member of a qualified, accredited higher education institution. Alumni of these institutions aren’t eligible. Qualified, accredited higher education institutions include Universities, Polytechnic schools, and Institutes of Technology, as well as other post-secondary level institutions, such as colleges and vocational schools that award academic degrees or professional certifications. Restrictions may vary by country.

    I think you ought to check how you activate.
    MS methods have varied over time, across products & between countries.
    There were academic versions of Office for which you had to register & activate using an academic email address. Without that, you could not use the software at all.
    I cannot give you any details. I only know about it because I once had to register an academic version of MSOffice and I noticed that if I was in the USA or if it was a later version then I would have needed the academic email address i.e. someplace.ac.uk or equivalent.
    Best of luck,
    Denis

    The same is true of Windows 10 Pro Education.

    The activation for Windows 10 Pro Education is the same as for any other Windows. You enter the product key, you get a permanent digital license. I know.
