    Windows 10 Get Windows 10 PRO 1607 build

    Hi! I need 1607 build of win 10 pro because I have a special software that does not work with newer versions. Torrents and pirating is not an option as it will operate in a corporate environment, so it has to be a clean copy. Microsoft offers the latest. Do you have any idea how to get the...
