Buy Windows 10 Enterprise...
I have inquired about buying Win 10 Ent for a while and have always been told that pro is the highest version of win 10. Unfortunately, I did not take the time to look and trusted Dell in the answer. They do make an Enterprise version. Am I to understand that the Enterprise version for Windows 10 is now practically reserved for businesses? From what I saw in price tonight it is exorbitantly expensive. Is that why it is not offered to the consumer today?
In the past I used to buy the enterprise version of office, OS, and other applications to give me the full capability of any of the program packages I used daily. Am I correct, that is not possible today?

From what I can see, Windows 10 Enterprise is (as you point out) sold only to businesses in the form of volume licenses. Apparently the licenses are distributed online direct from Microsoft or via the purchaser's Active Directory servers. The online vendors who purport to sell Enterprise activation keys look pretty hinky to me. This article gives instructions on installing and running (without activating) Enterprise, though I tried it in
a virtual machinea real system with a valid digital license (for Windows 10 Pro) and couldn't get the KMS keys to work. You can evaluate the software for 90 days here, though as an individual you don't have the ability to activate it.
