Windows 10: UWF feature for Windows 10 IOT Enterprise

Has anybody used the UWF feature for Windows 10 IOT Enterprise?
I am new to this concept, what i understand is it writes the data to the RAM in stead of hard disk, just to protect it during a power shut down.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have some doubts here-
1) Why is the writing to RAM not harmful?
2) What data is written to the RAM?
3) Will this protect the OS image from corruption in case of a forced shutdown/ power loss?
What are the other ways i can save the OS image from corruption/hard disk from going bad in case of an abrupt power shutdown?
Please help...Thanks in advance..

Windows 10 IoT Core

Windows 10 IoT Core is optimized for small-footprint, low-cost IoT devices that bring intelligence to the edge. It is designed to power purpose-built devices like gateways that enable IoT solutions. Windows 10 IoT Core also brings enterprise-grade security,
manageability, and connectivity of Windows to a new class of devices.

Below are the steps to bring your IoT Core powered devices to life:

• Click to
  Download IoT Core
• Learn more about how to create applications and build proof of concepts and leverage step-by-step instructions, sample
  code, documentation, community projects and more…
• Ready to sell your product?
  Commercialize your device or
  Find your local distributor.

Actually, IoT Core does not have a menu, that is the default application that comes installed on the sample image from Microsoft. When you create your device you would replace that default experience with the purpose driven application for your solution.
As for securing an IoT device, it really depends on its purpose and environment but for information on IoT Core you can find documentation at WindowsOnDevices.com. Specifically

Sincerely,

 

Windows 10 Enterprise IoT

Does anyone know how to get an ISO for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition?

Microsoft states that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is a binary equivalent to Windows 10 Enterprise, does this mean I can just use a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise, and create an IoT image using Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer?

Does it only work with x86 version of Windows?

There is not much info on the internet about this...

Thanks,

David
