  1. Can we install Windows 10 Enterprise Edtion on Surface Pro 4 ?


    Hello guys,

    I'm looking to pick up a Surface Pro 4 over the holidays and I need control over whether my machine gets updates or not and when as well. I just updated my Desktop PC to the Anniversary update and it looks like the deferred upgrades option is no longer present and from some research looks like this setting is only being respected on the enterprise edition even when using the Local Group policy Editor. My Question is if i spend extra to get the enterprise edition will it work on the Surface Pro 4. I know the surface Pro 4 comes with the Windows 10 Pro edition. Is it simple to just clean wipe the device and install windows through the UEFI and using a USB. Also could I just simply install all the drivers again or would that come down automatically on the device. If anyone has any links to a good thread on the surface pro 4 and installing new windows versions i would appreciate it. Thanks

    :)

    Hi Vanessa

    we use Windows 10 1607 Enterprise Edition for all our notebooks.

    Network Unlock is working for any other devices, except for Surface Pro 4.

    Regards

  5. Are you aware that Enterprise is only available via a Volume License subscription? And that said subscription is normally only available to corporate customers?

  6. As far as I know Enterprise uses the same drivers that Pro, or any other version of Windows 10 does. I've run Home, Pro, Enterprise and Education versions on my laptop with no issues. All with the Windows update supplied drivers. My laptop shipped with 8.0 Core, and there are no Windows 10 drivers available from ASUS for it.

    Also, even with the Enterprise edition, to get full control over updates, I believe you need access to Windows Update for Business. That would only be available on a corporate network.

    And then what will the OP do when the evaluation expires?

    The implication is that an evaluation has no value.
    Microsoft provides them for FREE.

    A computer user / hobbyist / tech / professional / can choose what to do.

    The evaluation version stops working when evaluation period is over. It cannot be activated, to get a licensed version installed it can only be done by clean install.

    Using your words, "a computer user / hobbyist / tech / professional" has very little alternatives.

    True Kari:

    Update > Server 2016 evaluation can be activated to a full version.

    Yes but isn't it all or nothing? Can you pick which updates you want from the list? With Windows Update for Business you can pick and chose which ones you want and what you don't want. And, can't you block all updates with from Pro? If yes why use Enterprise?

    Who has said something about Server 2016? What on earth does it have to do with the topic of this thread? In this thread we are talking about Windows 10 Enterprise edition. It can't be converted to a retail version.

    I can of course understand your need to be right and not to accept to be corrected but that went a bit too far. Server 2016 has nothing (I repeat: nothing!) to do with Windows 10 Enterprise evaluation.

    A volume licensing product like Enterprise has no retail licenses. Comparing it to a product which has normal retail licenses available does not make no sense. Absolutely no sense.
     
  15. Even if you could switch from evale to full version, there is no option to Enter a Retail key for Enterprise. It uses VL activation, which usually isn't a viable option for a consumer. Unless you have an MSDN subscription etc.
