I thought there was going to be only one version of Windows 10. . .

How many does this make now?

I'm counting 14. I suspect what Microsoft meant by "one version of Windows" was that there would be only "Windows 10". No "Windows 11" or later.

They've always had half a dozen or so different "Editions" so they can charge more for the big ones and less for the small ones, so that customers feel like they're only paying for what they'll use. I guess. I'm not a marketing type.

IMHO, there is no need for more than 4 versions of Windows.

1. Home
2. Embedded (think point of sale, kiosks etc.)
3. business
4. Tablet/phone

Instead of education version, just offer discounts on business licenses for schools, etc. simple.
