Differences between the Windows NCHU licensed version and the version that comes with your laptop

The editor found that many teachers and students tried to install the school Office or SAS, but warning messages appeared and the laptops could not be installed.

Why is this happening? Is it because the hardware is not powerful enough? Or is there something wrong with the system?

In fact, none of them are true! !

The main reason is that when you buy a laptop, most laptops are randomly given "Windows 10 Home Edition"

This will cause many campus licensed software to be unable to support installation, resulting in the need to reinstall the system to "National Hsing University Campus Windows 10 Licensed Edition (Enterprise Edition)" in order to install it smoothly. However, Mac computer users do not need to worry about this problem.

As for the difference between the campus licensed version of Windows 10 and the home version purchased on the computer, you can refer to the following instructions

▌ So what are the benefits of installing the Win10 licensed version provided by the school?


  • Enjoy a safe operating system environment, which can prevent illegal crackers from implanting backdoor Trojans.
  • The academic mass license version is the "Enterprise Edition", which has more complete functions than the general home version, and will not be unable to install a certain software successfully due to system version restrictions.
  • This can prevent errors caused by the Office 2016 campus license provided by the school failing to install.
  • It can prevent the installation of SAS home editions that do not support Windows versions.
  • Avoid having to spend time reinstalling your computer.

 

▌ So how do I install the school version after I buy a new computer?


You can download the Win10 disc image file (ISO file) directly from the cloud software platform, and then find a USB with a capacity of 4G or more to make an installation flash drive. Be careful not to store important data in the USB, and use a computer to download Rufus (https://rufus.ie) to make a USB boot flash drive. You can also ask the computer store to help you reinstall the system to the school authorization system, or you can ask the store to directly reinstall the computer to the Win10 enterprise version, and then use the certification file provided by the school to authenticate. Pay special attention to the school network (wired, wireless WiFi, SSLVPN) when authenticating.

PS. Cloud software platform location:NCHU SSO Login > Each system portal > Cloud Software Services, find the system software category.

 

▌ What should I do if my Windows system needs to be re-certified after graduation and it expires?


Since the school has signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft for teachers and students, it cannot be provided to alumni after graduation.
