So Windows 11 SE themes aren't exclusive to SE at all?

Windows 11 v25H2 / Windows vNext Enterprise
W11 SE has its own default themes and wallpapers. The main one is a colorful and slightly different version of Bloom, called "Flower".
However, I have installed Win11 SE on a virtual machine, to my surprise, it does not come with any of those themes and/or wallpapers by default.

I found out that, instead, those are Education Themes designed to be applied to any edition of Windows 11.

Enable Windows Education Themes


You just have to do a small registry modification, restart, and voilá, you have all of those neat themes.
Works on any SKU including SE itself and even full blown Enterprise.


Just navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\device, create a new key called "Education" and inside that key you create a DWORD called "EnableEduThemes" and set the value to 1. Reboot. Enjoy 6 new themes!
