Microsoft Windows 10 Education
With Windows 10 Education, you get the most robust and secure version of Windows 10, specifically designed to meet the unique needs of schools, staff, and students. Built on the powerful Windows 10 Enterprise foundation, this edition provides the manageability and security required by modern educational institutions while maintaining the familiar, reliable interface that millions of users know and love.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Schools:
Windows 10 Education is the most secure version of Windows 10 ever released for the classroom. It includes advanced features to protect student data and school networks:
-
Windows Hello: Replace passwords with secure, fast biometric sign-in (face or fingerprint).
-
BitLocker: Keep school data safe even if a device is lost or stolen with full-disk encryption.
-
Credential Guard: Uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets, ensuring only privileged system software can access them.
Designed for All Learning Styles:
Every student learns differently. Windows 10 Education provides the tools to bridge the gap and unleash potential:
-
Digital Inking: Students can take notes, solve math problems, and diagram ideas directly on the screen with a digital pen—proven to boost retention and creativity.
-
Assistive Technology: Built-in tools like Narrator, Magnifier, and Closed Captions ensure that students of all abilities have the support they need to succeed.
Education-Specific Productivity:
We’ve optimized the OS to remove distractions and prioritize the classroom experience. Windows 10 Education defaults to a cleaner environment, disabling “consumer” suggestions and Microsoft Store ads so students can stay focused on their assignments.
-
Focus Assist: Block notifications and alerts during study time or exams.
-
Snap Assist: Easily organize up to four apps on one screen to make multitasking during research a breeze.
Simplified Deployment and Management:
IT administrators can manage school devices with ease, whether they are in a lab or in the hands of students at home.
-
Set Up School PCs App: Quickly configure devices with the apps and settings students need using a simple wizard.
-
Take a Test: Create a secure, locked-down environment for digital assessments, preventing students from accessing other apps or the internet during a quiz.
-
Azure Active Directory: Seamlessly manage student identities and provide “single sign-on” access to Office 365 and other educational apps.
Broad Compatibility:
Windows 10 Education is designed to run on a wide range of hardware, from affordable, rugged student laptops to high-performance workstations for engineering and design. It supports the widest array of classroom peripherals, including digital microscopes, 3D printers, and interactive whiteboards.
