[SOLVED] Microsoft windows edition download issue

[savioaugust]

Hi, can someone tell me what edition of Windows gets downloaded when using Microsoft site for downloading Windows without using media creation tool.
Cause it only shows build no. And 32 bit or 64 bit

You get to select what type of windows you would like to use in the windows installation on the computer your downloading it on. For now it is just has windows installer on it

Depending on your needs, probably not.
Pro only gives you a few corporate level features.
Performance is exactly the same.

And of course, you'd need a valid Pro license to complete the activation.

The Windows 10 installation media has all the bits and bobs needed for Home or Pro, and it is the license key that determines what will be activated. In fact, the actual Windows 10 Home installation still has all the bits and bobs needed for Pro, it's just that the features specific to Pro are not activated. That's why it's possible to go to Settings, Update & Security, Activation, Update product key then enter a Pro key and after Windows does it's "under the hood gyrations" you then have Windows 10 Pro. There is no reinstallation required.
