How to Download and Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version

Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version is a trial version of Windows 8.1 Enterprise that allows you to test the operating system for 90 days before buying a license. It is intended for IT professionals who want to evaluate the features and performance of Windows 8.1 Enterprise in their organizations. In this article, we will show you how to download and install Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version on your PC.

Step 1: Download the ISO file

The first step is to download the ISO file of Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version from Microsoft's website. You can choose from 32-bit or 64-bit versions, depending on your PC's hardware. You can also select your preferred language from the drop-down menu. The ISO file size is about 3.8 GB for the 32-bit version and 5.2 GB for the 64-bit version, so make sure you have enough data storage and a fast Internet connection.

To download the ISO file, go to this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-8-1-enterprise

Click on the "Register to continue" button and fill out the registration form with your name, email, country, and other details. You will also need to answer some questions about your organization and your role.

After completing the registration, you will receive an email with a link to download the ISO file. Click on the link and save the ISO file to your computer.

Step 2: Create a bootable USB or DVD

The next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD with the ISO file that you downloaded. You will need a blank USB flash drive or a blank DVD (and a DVD burner) with at least 4 GB of space. You will also need a tool that can create bootable media from an ISO file, such as Rufus or Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.

To create a bootable USB or DVD, follow these steps:

Insert your USB flash drive or DVD into your PC.

Download and run Rufus or Windows USB/DVD Download Tool from their respective websites.

Select your USB flash drive or DVD as the device to use.

Select the ISO file that you downloaded as the source image.

Click on the "Start" button and wait for the process to complete.

You should now have a bootable USB or DVD with Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version on it.

Step 3: Install Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version

The final step is to install Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version on your PC. You will need to boot from the USB or DVD that you created in the previous step. You will also need to backup your files and settings before installing, as this will erase everything on your PC.

To install Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version, follow these steps:

Restart your PC and press the appropriate key to enter the boot menu (usually F12, F10, or Esc).

Select your USB flash drive or DVD as the boot device and press Enter.

Follow the instructions on the screen to select your language, keyboard layout, and time zone.

Click on "Install now" and accept the license terms.

Choose "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)" as the installation type.

Select the drive where you want to install Windows and click on "Next".

Wait for the installation to complete and restart your PC when prompted.

You should now have Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation Version installed on your PC. You will need to activate it within 10 days of installation, otherwise it will expire after 90 days. You can activate it online or by phone using the instructions on this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/activate-windows-8-1-enterprise-evaluation
