I recently built my first PC and used one of these MS Imagine keys for the Education edition. I managed to get 2 separate keys, one from on the hub and another from imagine and it sure beats trying to buy an ebay oem key. With windows 10 you're also probably able to to get Microsoft office for free as well.

They apparently check for active enrollment, but many of my friends and I have had success in getting keys after we've graduated, as we still have student emails and the ability to log into the student portal, but your experience may very. The requirement is to be in STEM and you may find better luck finding your school's webstore through your schools site than on microsofts imagines hub. Microsoft imagine gives a bunch more goodies, including windows 10, a bunch of legacy windows (useful for my homeserver compatibility) and free azure. I recently got 2 keys for windows 10 education and I didn't know about it until I built my pc so I figure that some of you might benefit from this too.įind your school, then go under the Microsoft tab to see if windows 10 is available to you.
