Re: for security minded

too easy with Enterprise version.

It's just an ISO file and likely can be downloaded straight from MS (without much trouble). It'll install. It'll run. It'll just keep remind at logon to activate it, but you can ignore it. It's beta after all and you just keep testing it. I've had 8.1E running like this for ~2 years. 10E is past 6 months mark on another test box. Fire, use, shut down. Running on "metered connection" so possibly not getting updates (but not leaking my limited usage data either). I'd not pay MS for this system - it's just not worth it. Nothing on it out of the box (not that I planned to sign in with MS account just to get "good stuff"). Actually not using any of MS services is another common sense step in keeping your stuff private from MS. If anything at least it'll fragment your data across different services and make bid data work harder to make any sense out of it.
