Microsoft released Windows 11 version 22H2 just a month ago. As you may already be aware, the Windows operating system comes in different editions, each with its own set of tools.
You can now download the Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise edition’s ISO file. The Enterprise edition has all the features included in the Professional edition, and then some. But before you do, ensure that the system you want to install it on meets the minimum Windows 11 requirements.
It is designed for medium to large enterprises and includes Device Guard to lock down devices, secure intranet connectivity, and domain-based credential protection, amongst other distinct features.
In this post, we are going to show you 2 ways you can download the latest version of Windows 11 Enterprise for the best experience.
Note: The Enterprise edition is free to use for 90 days (evaluation period), after which you will need to provide an activation key that needs to be purchased.
If not, after the evaluation period, the background will go dark and you will receive continuously (annoying) prompts telling you that your version of Windows is not licensed. Moreover, your computer will also reboot after every hour without any warning.
