Windows Media Creation Tool Windows 10 Enterprise
Rayén Rundall
Microsoft always makes stable Windows 10 releases available for download with Media Creation Tool, a special software that simplifies the OS upgrade and boot media creation. By default, the app is downloading the ISO image with consumer versions of Windows 10, such as Home, Pro, etc. But what if you need to get an Enterprise edition ISO? Here's the answer.
The application uses file formats optimized for download speed, built-in media creation options for USB & DVDs, and allows creating an ISO file. It exists for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions. All you need is to download the appropriate version of the tool and run it.
By default, Enterprise editions of Windows 10 are only available to MSDN/VLSC subscribers. However, there are command line switches that make MCT download Windows 10 Enterprise directly. No subscription required.
Note: You may need to change the media language according to your requirements. In my example above, you get a media of US English, but you can replace the language code for the /MediaLangCode en-US argument. E,g, to get it in Russian, specify it as /MediaLangCode ru-RU. For available language options, please refer to the following table. Use a value from the Language/region tag column.
This article actually makes my day, as I am looking for exactly the same. I had tried once to download Windows 10 Enterprise ISO but failed to do so. Thereby I was looking for the methods to download properly and meanwhile, I get my hands on this content which describes the ways to download Win 10 Enterprise ISO with media creation tool along with the images.

I have a i7 4770K Haswell system that is about seven years old running windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise OS. As I look ahead to January 2023 end of security support for the current OS, I am thinking whether I should try to extend the life of the system by a few years by upgrading to Windows 10 Pro OS. The enterprise version of the OS was installed by the system builder and I do no have access to the MS volume licensing program and so I have no path forward to W10 Enterprise. I think (am considering) purchasing a W10 Pro OEM Product key and using the MS Media Creation Tool to download W10 Pro ISO from MS. I would use the paid activation key to do an in place upgrade to W10.
For example of a potential further issue, activation of office beyond 2000 has been predicated on the activation information for Windows (to prevent installations of office using the same office key being used on different Windows machines resulting in activation of copies of office in use numbering beyond the limits of the licensing terms) so your office activation (if you have it..) seems unlikely to survive the upgrade.
If you downgrade your 8.1 to 8.1 pro, and then install the 10 pro ISO (without purchasing anything), I am pretty confident it will do an upgrade install, and will appear as licensed and activated. If you have any problems, create a bootable key of the 10 pro ISO, and boot from that, but still choose upgrade or keep apps and data.
I have working Win10 licneses. (this is NOT a licensing question). Creating install media from these ISOs with the Win7 DVD to USB tool. Only the Win10 Media Creatino tool works, but that doesn't have enterprise on it.
Background:I have Win10 Enterprise licenses in the volume license service center. I downloaded the ISOs, and used the old Windows 7 USB creation tool, but newer tablets do not see this installation or boot from it. The newer tablets see Win10 bootable USB sticks that are made from the Windows 10 Media Creation tool without any issues.
The problem is: when I setup the ei.cfg and pid.txt files with the keys for Window 10 Pro or Enterprise from our VLSC account, it tells me "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key" which is in the troubleshooting section for that article I just referenced.
Finally, just open the .ISO file, copy all contents to the USB stick and restart your machine. If you changed your BIOS or UEFI to be able to boot from USB, then the stick is fully ready to install Windows from it.
i cant get this laptop to upgrade to windows 10 enterprise from windows 10 home Ive tried network booting and loading from cd something in the BIOS is keeping it from happening when ever i get close it tells me theres a driver needed for the harddrive and im at a loss as to how to do that
Also, the only LEGAL way I know to get Enterprise is through a Home Use Program associated with a company that has a license to distribute that. The Enterprise version requires its own license, which you can not buy on your own -- it has to be provided through the Home Use Program.
I have a legal copy as i work for University of Florida, and we dont allow windows home on our network, We normally buy Dell products but this PC was purchased without consulting us. So thats why i need to up grade and it continues to come up with We couldnt find any drives no matter what i try.. I even did the usb drive using Microsofts media creation tool
My guess is that the HP is configured to use UEFI/GPT but the Win10 media you are using is BIOS/MBR -- that could prevent the PC from seeing the media as it could be looking for UEFI boot media. That's the only thing that comes to mind.
I recently got a PC refresh and my company just gifted me my old Dell Latitude 7480. I am trying to create a machine that I can use for personal purposes and removing everything about it related to my employer.
I reset to BIOS defaults, booted from the USB, and got most of the way through the Windows installation process and had it say, "Welcome to \[MY COMPANY\]!" I don't understand how it can still have any record of being my old work computer as I've reset to BIOS defaults and wiped the hard drive.
You should install Windows Home or Pro instead of the Enterprise edition. Enterprise requires a volume license from the business. Private owners must use windows home or pro. You might have to purchase a new windows license for your personal use.
That said, is my service tag tied to my employer? Clearly the computer "wants" to sign in as a work PC. It also installed Netskope by default which is what my company uses. Seems I'm not fully detached from the PC that started life as a work computer, though I created a new user on installation.
Hi! I'm in a similar situation, and with all of us WFH, I can't take my gifted computer in to the tech department to "wipe" it. I have done the complete drive erasure in the boot setup menu, but I'm not able to update the BIOS, and I too am getting forced into the "sign into your work or school account". Yes, I already have a home license for W10/11.
Has anyone been able to get over this issue? I'm still stuck on the organization login, seems like it's speaking to the Microsoft services and somehow autopilot setup is taking over, and in return prompting for company credentials. Can someone please help?
Wow, I have the exact same issue. Bought a refurbished laptop on Amazon, somehow, on boot, it keeps asking for a FinThrive account. I completely wiped the drive, reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows from a USB drive that I made from the Media Creation Tool, it keep asking me for that account. Like if there was something ahead of the SSD drive that prevented me from installing my copy of Windows, something maybe in the BIOS.
I installed successfully, without issue, a copy of Linux Mint, it boots, it works, but for an unknown reason, that particular laptop is preventing me from installing my copy of Windows. There's something, somewhere in the BIOS that prevent me from doing anything Windows related when it comes to reinstallation. Linux, fine, it installed on the SSD and works great. As soon as I try Windows, it gives me no option other than connect to a network and then connect to that FinThrive account.
This worked with the "Windows install" media from Dell, I had a few problems with install media from Microsoft as it didn't recognize some of network drivers so making connecting to the internet during setup problematic. I suggest using the DELL install disk
This is because your IT department enabled Windows Autopilot in your org Azure/M365 tenant. Windows is checking device indentificator against MS server during installation process and if S/N will be found, than company policies and OOBE will be applied instead of standard OOBE experience. You need ask your IT team to remove device S/N or service tag from Windows Autopilot registered devices in Azure. Or you can use offline OOBE mode to install Windows but first way is much better.
