Enroll

So you got the message that your Olympia account and it is time to Enroll! Find the details here!

There are 2 ways to Enroll:

Choose one of the following two enrollment options:

– Keep your current Windows 10 edition

Please see Olympia Corp enrollment – keep current edition.

– Upgrade your Windows 10 edition from Pro to Enterprise

Please see Olympia Corp enrollment – upgrade to enterprise edition.

* Please note that your Windows 10 Enterprise license will not be renewed if your PC is not connected to Olympia.

The first option will keep your system almost as it is, you add an Olympia account and the policies to your system. With the second option you get an Olympia managed system, logon with your Olympia account and so on! It will also give you a Windows 10 Enterprise for Insiders license. So more to do and test, me happy 😉

So what is the experience you get with Option 2 – Upgrade your Windows 10 edition from Pro to Enterprise?

Go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school. To see this setting, you need to have administrator rights to your device (see local administrator).
