Windows – How to install Windows 10 Anniversary Update on Windows 10 Enterprise edition

windows 10windows updatewindows-10-v1607

I have a laptop with Windows 10 Enterprise edition installed (64bit).

I haven't got the Windows 10 Anniversary Update from the normal Windows Update (I have clicked Check for updates). So I want to install it manually.

I have downloaded the the update from the Microsoft page. However when I run it, the Update Assistant says

Windows 10 will not run on this PC Operating System: Contact your system administrator to upgrade Windows Server or Enterprise editions

But I'm my own system administrator. I've installed Enterprise Edition from MSDN Subscriber downloads.

How do I update to the Anniversary Edition?

To Upgrade the Windows 10 Enterprise Editions, get the 1607 ISO from MSDN/Volume Licensing portal, mount the ISO via double click on it, run the setup.exe on the virtual DVD drive, now select Upgrade

and next select Keep personal files and apps

This upgrades Windows 10 to the Version 1607 and keeps all installed Windows Applications.
