Microsoft Windows 11 Education – Retail Key (1 PC)

What the Education edition includes

• Functional level equivalent to Enterprise — AppLocker, Credential Guard, Application Guard, BranchCache and DirectAccess are available.
• BitLocker — full disk encryption, useful for laptops lent to pupils.
• Incoming Remote Desktop, Hyper-V, Windows Sandbox — all the features of the Pro edition are included.
• Domain or Microsoft Entra ID join — integration with the school's directory.
• Group Policy and update management — uniform configuration of a computer room.
• Streamlined interface — suggestions, tips and promotional content are disabled by default, unlike the Home edition.
• Take a Test mode — locks the workstation onto an online assessment, without access to other apps.
