Superfly said:

Anyway... so I entered a Win 10 Pro key on Pro Edu and got activated as Pro.... then tried to get Pro Edu back by change key .. but nada - it changes to Pro Education but can't activate "can't contact the activation server" ... so Attachment 188463

I haven't got an iso or a Pro Edu key:

I have upgraded PRO to EDU and ENT with MSDN keys - always works out ok.

It's not official --- MSDN won't have it (see the key here to unlock it...)

It is official and available to subscribers. Sign in to your Visual Studio subscription (former MSDN) at https://my.visualstudio.com and download either Consumer Editions or Business Editions ISO, both contain Pro Education:

Thanx - Dunno how this new MSDN/VS thingy works but do you get a product key for it?

No, I just checked. There are all they keys I will ever need for any W10 edition but not for Pro Education.

Hmmm... thanx

For the Business Editions ISO, these are the keys available:



And for Consumer Editions ISO:



No Pro Education key.

WSL does not work on 17666. Must be the mark of the devil. Here's the error from trying to install Debian GNU/Linux

Installing, this may take a few minutes...
Installation successful!
Please create a default UNIX user account. The username does not need to match your Windows username.

Enter new UNIX username: marty
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Other distros fail with no text - just a blinking cursor. Ubuntu 18.04 has been added. Thought I was OK when the feature installed without blowing up the machine -hah. Guess I'll report on the Feedback Hub and get a gold star or whatever.

Maybe the next build won't be as buggy.

PS Hyper-V is not working either. I will put in the RS4 GA tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess it needs a local activation server. I don't think it can be activated via MS servers.
