I'm currently using Windows 10 Educational Edition.
I would like to do a fresh install of this version. Although I'm worried that if I use the MCT to install windows 10 it will not accept my education key.
Question: Will the education key work with the MCT or would it be better just to burn the education ISO to a memory stick and go from there?
Thanks.

Afaik, the tool doesn't support it. But there is a hack to get any ISO via techbench page.
Open this page, select "Windows (final)" and your Windwos 10 Build you want to get
Now under Edition, select the Education(N) you want:
now select your Langauge
and your cpu architecture (32 Bit or 64Bit):
Download the ISO from the generated link from Microsoft servers and later create a bootable USB flash drive with Rufus if needed.

You should update your link since the test bench website is dead. – Ramhound – 2017-03-25T14:51:01.820
@Ramhound ok, I added the new (3rd party) page that still generates the links to MS servers – magicandre1981 – 2017-03-26T10:47:36.347

@Pedro77 try it again. It works for me now. – magicandre1981 – 2017-07-05T17:44:32.420
Why not create a recovery disk with system files and use that to re-install windows – Ganesh R. – 2016-06-18T19:21:32.133
As of November 2018, it seems the new media creation tool for Windows 10 now accepts the education key - I used it today to do a clean reinstall on a school laptop and it accepted the previous key without issues.
