So if the laptops are running Win 10 Pro or Win 8 Pro, they are not on<br />
Windows Enterprise and thus we have to upgrade them to Win 10 or<br />
8 Enterprise and roughly what's the cost like for upgrading?<br />
<br />
If we don't upgrade (to save us the labour of upgrading), will it work<br />
technically if we just pay the difference in the licence cost?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
