Is Windows 10 Education fine? I can get it for free but what's the difference between Education/Pro etc. And which one should I get :D???

education is only meant to be used while you are a student. As far as I can tell nothing in technology stops you from using it outside this period but it would be against the license agreement.

Oh rip... So do I have to buy my own copy/license?

that would be the legal thing to do. I prefer retail because it lets you transfer to new/upgraded computers

You don't have to, but you should if you ever want to move it between computers.

Educational licenses are similar to Volume License editions managed by a central server through the organization.

Technically speaking, your school could choose to deactivate your license as soon as you're done all your schooling, since the license is through them.

Owning a retail copy ensures you are licensed to use it on whatever computer you'd like in the future, assuming Microsoft doesn't change their terms.

Does the pro have features you really are going to use? If not, its not worth it. Education is just bit extended version of Home.
