After making the Windows 10 Creators Update available early as a manual download on April 5, Microsoft is now releasing evaluation ISOs for the Enterprise version of the operating system on TechNet.

Since these ISOs are for the Enterprise SKU of the operating system and are published on TechNet, they are specifically addressed to IT admins who want to run a pilot program of the Creators Update before starting the deployment within their organizations.

There are two different ISOs available for enterprises (each with 32- and 64-bit versions), namely Windows 10 Enterprise Creators Update and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB (Long-Term Servicing Branch) 2016.

“This is evaluation software that is designed for IT professionals interested in trying Windows 10 Enterprise on behalf of their organization. We do not recommend that you install this evaluation if you are not an IT professional or are not professionally managing corporate networks or devices,” Microsoft explains on the download page.

As compared to Home and Pro versions of Windows 10, the Enterprise SKU adds several tools aimed at enterprises, including new security features that Microsoft is making available exclusively in the Creators Update.

As for consumers who want to try out the new OS version, Windows 10 Creators Update ISOs are also available for download here, while the rollout via Windows Update is projected to begin tomorrow. The whole thing, however, will take place in stages, so not everyone will get the update on April 11.
