I purchased an X1 Carbon Seventh generation for a masters program in Health Informatics that I recently enrolled in. I need several pieces of software that are not supported on my Win 10 Home (1909). I was able to get a key for upgrade to Win 10 Education. I changed product key to the new one, but still will not update. What do I need to do?

    Hi,

    Any error message occur when you activate your Windows 10 Education product key? If yes, please post a capture here.
    Is it an upgrade key or Windows 10 Education key?
    If it is an upgrade key, we could activate through Windows Store.
    If it is a Windows 10 Education key, we could run "slui.exe 4" to activate through a phone call.

    For more activation measures, we could the following article (it also apply to Windows 10 Education):

    Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro

    Bests,
