Windows 10: Win 10 Enterprise - 1511 Update still not available???

You're likely going to have a hard time finding an ISO for Enterprise. MSDN is subscription only and the Media Creation Tool does not offer Enterprise, and will not upgrade Enterprise. Getting it from other sources like bit torrent is risky. More often than not those ISO's are modified in a bad way and not safe to use.

 

Hi,

Totally agree. That company should have wiped the disk prior to selling the machine.

Depending on the type of company, I wonder how much privacy act protected data was/is on it.

 

Hi,

It's about reselling a machine with an Enterprise license on it, not about the company's data (if any at all) you see ?

IOW, is an Enterprise license transferable etc.... ??

mswin10, please don't take my earlier comments the wrong way. I did not mean to imply that you were doing anything illegal or pass judgment on you personally. You bought the PC in good faith. The seller is the one that screwed up. We will be more than happy to help you sort it out if you want. You may get lucky and it stays activated. At some point though, if you have to reinstall, its going to be an issue. You will definitely want to sort it out before the free upgrade to Windows 10 offer runs out.

 

Wrong. It is about both. It is equally illegal to disclose persons' data protected under the privacy act as it is to transfer the enterprise license for the software with the computer.

 

MS has announced that they are releasing the enterprise version of 1511.
Windows 10 Threshold 2 ISOs Now Available for Enterprise Users - Windows 10 Forums

 

ISO's for Enterprise were up on MSDN same day the regular Home/Pro ISO's were? Education two. I downloaded all there the same day TH2 showed up via Windows Update. I clean installed the new Enterprise 10586 though instead of trying to upgrade. There was just Windows and Office on my laptop anyway, so no big deal to start over clean. I guess this "Now available" is for those without access to MSDN?

 

Not sure.. that's just what I noticed today.

 

Looks like they have just posted the dedicated ISOs on VLSC. Volume Licensing Service Center. Why the delay to that channel I don't know? You'd think anybody that had access to that would also have access to MSDN? It looks like its still not coming down Windows Update though? That's how I read it anyway.

 

I agree.. enterprise users would have/should have had access to the new build already.

 

I would think the IT person in any descent sized company would have an MSDN subscription, even if it's just a basic one.

 

Yup.. but that's how I would do it at least.

 

Guys firstly thanks very much for all your help. Please accept my apologies as I didn't realise me buying a pc from a company would be much of an issue. I don't take things to heart, so please feel free to say what you want.

I don't think it's looking very good because when I ran showkey, the oem key is not present in the firmware and also the original edition is "WIN NEXT STARTER RETAIL". *Sad

 

Does it say OEM Key : Windows 7 OEM Marker present in firmware? If yes I would say it was Windows 7 Starter that it came with. Is there a COA sticker on it anywhere? If it's a laptop remove the battery and look underneath it. They sometimes hide them in there. If you can find a COA sticker with a legible Product Code on it, you may be back in business. If there is no COA sticker your options are very limited.
