Last week, Microsoft finally released Build 14328 to Windows Insiders, and it packed a significant number of new features. As usual, many users on the My Digital Life forums have posted about and investigated this new build, as they’ve done with many other prior builds.

One user, abbodi1406, examined build 14328’s EditionMatrix.xml file, leading the user to think that there would be new editions in RedStone RTM. In the file, the user finds the following new SKU’s:

According to the user, “ProfessionalCountrySpecific” would be a special Windows 10 Edition for China. The user also notes that regular core & professional can be upgraded to Professional Education, but other editions are separated.

So, if you also find the discovery interesting, please drop us a comment below and tell us what you think this means for the future of the Windows 10.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
