Download Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1909 ISO Now!

With the release of Windows 10 Version 1909, Microsoft has also released the Windows 10 Enterprise ISO files for download. The enterprise version is targeted mainly for IT Pros and enterprise-level customers. But everyone with a Microsoft ID (Hotmail, live.com, outlook.com, etc.) can download and install the enterprise version for free.

But is Windows 10 Enterprise free?

The short answer is No. The ISO for download is an evaluation copy of Windows 10 Enterprise. You can evaluate it for 90 days (extended up to 180 days). After the expiration of the evaluation period, the background of the Desktop will turn black, a notification will appear that this installation of Windows is not genuine and the system will restart after every hour.

Can I buy Windows 10 Enterprise?

The enterprise edition of Windows 10 is specifically designed for medium to large organizations. Normally, a home user or even a small business user doesn’t need the features included in the enterprise edition.

For home users, Windows 10 Pro is recommended which has almost all the features and functionality of enterprise edition with a few exceptions.

But if you still insist on purchasing a license of Windows 10 Enterprise for home or small business, I would recommend going for a Visual Studio subscription.

You can also download Windows 10 Enterprise ISO using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Here are the steps involved:

Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool
Open Command Prompt and go to the folder where the media creation tool is downloaded. For example, if it is downloaded in the default Downloads folder, I would do like this:
cd C:\Users\Username\Downloads
Run the following command:
MediaCreationTool1909.exe /Eula Accept /Retail /MediaArch x64 /MediaLangCode en-US /MediaEdition Enterprise
You can change the en-US code to any other language code which you want to download.

Rest of the process of creating an bootable media or simply downloading the ISO is the same as mentioned above.

What is the difference between Version 1909 Enterprise and LTSC Enterprise?

Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1909 (Current Branch channel)

This channel is designed for those who want to get all the latest Windows features as soon as they are available in the stable build. If you have CB installed, all Windows feature updates will be available for download and installation as soon as they are available on Windows Update.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019

The LTSC branch is for those systems which do not need regular updating. It is also suitable for older PCs and servers which do not have a lot of computing resources. Since LTSC does not include a lot of universal apps by default, it is lighter on resources and less featureful.

If you want to check which version and branch of Windows 10 enterprise you’re running, you can open PowerShell and run the following command:
