These can be bypassed with some registry editing in the installer.
Press Shift+F10 to open cmd, type regedit, and in regedit, go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup and in setup right click and create a key named "LabConfig" in it, you can add DWORD 32-bit values to bypass stuff. And double click them and set the value to 1. Here are the possibilities:
Maybe the subscription edition means that it will be a different tier, so you will buy Windows for cheaper, but you have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription.
Or it has some connection to your Microsoft 365 subscription, and it would give you more Copilot/Other AI features.
Yes, that's also what I was thinking.
