Windows 10 – How to change Edition with Intune (SKU transformation)

In Windows 10 it is possible to change SKU – go from one Windows version to another – always up.

From Pro to Enterprise or Education – never the other way around.

In Intune there is a policy to change SKU for a MDM joined Windows 10 device.

My Windows 10 PRO is AzureAD joined and MDM managed

Create a Configuration Policy in Intune

Select the policy type “Edition Upgrade Policy (Windows 10 Desktop and later)

1. Give the policy a name
2. Chose a Edition to upgrade to
3. Enter a valid License key (the one in the picture is Microsoft generic Enterprise KMS Key)
4. Save Policy

Click yes to deploy the policy

Add the Device group you want to deploy to

“Resync” the MDM agent and restart the device.

 

After a reboot the Windows 10 Edition will be changed.
