Download And Install Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2 ISO

by

Along with the recent release of Windows 10 v20H2, Microsoft also released downloadable ISO versions of the 20H2 Enterprise editions. The Enterprise editions are mostly targeted at IT professionals and enterprise consumers. Nonetheless, anyone with a Microsoft account can download and install the Enterprise version of Windows 10 20H2 for free.

However, the free version would not last for long. You can download and install the ISO image, but it will only last for 90 days since it is an evaluation copy. Once the trial period has surpassed, the desktop screen will go black, and the user will then be continuously prompted to purchase a licensed version of the Enterprise edition. The computer will also automatically reboot after each hour to encourage the user to purchase an Enterprise license.

Quick Summary show

As we mentioned earlier, the Enterprise editions are designed to manage configurations in medium to large organizations. An individual with a few computers at home would not need to purchase the Enterprise edition but would rather opt for a Professional or Home edition. See here to learn about the different Windows editions.

If you want to purchase the Enterprise version, head on to Microsoft’s how-to-buy page to learn more.

Difference between version 20H2 Enterprise and LTSC 2019 Enterprise?

Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2

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 the stable build installed, all Windows feature updates will be available for installation as soon as they are available through the 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 many 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:

get-computerinfo | fl WindowsProductName, OsVersion

Closing words

We do not recommend regular home users opt for the Enterprise version as they might not need that many features for an additional cost. For basic everyday use, we recommend the Windows 10 Home edition. It does lack a few features when compared to the Professional edition, but we have compiled strategies for you to install some important features such as alternatives for BitLocker, managing local user accounts, install Group Policy Editor, enabling Sandbox, enable Hyper-V, enable Remote Desktop, and install Dockers.

If you believe you might be needing a majority of these features, opt for the Professional edition. If not, and you have an old PC, the Home edition might be the best option for you.
