The last thing I did as a student in university was grab a windows 10 education product key. They let computer science students get windows install keys for personal use, and I grabbed one. Been using it on my personal machine for years since and it works great. As far as I can tell it isn’t tied to the university in any way. When I dig into settings it doesn’t look like I have management stuff being applied to my personal machine. And I’m using my personal account, not a school account. It’s just a win10 pro/enterprise that has all the tracking stuff forcefully disabled. It has a bunch of actually sane defaults. Cortana is off by default, and honestly I don’t know if it can be turned on. No ads on my Lock Screen. It’s just a cleaner version of windows. Don’t know what I’ll do if I have to do a new install, as I’m not a student anymore. And not sure what upgrading to 11 will do with my existing install. But my laptop (home edition) has a ton of annoying stuff and I don’t ever want to fiddle with it. It’s always nagging me about onedrive or about bing rewards. My desktop with Education edition though never gets in the way.
