Yes. But you shouldn't be installing it on your Home Computer; at least not your "daily-driver" computer you use regularly.
This edition is for large businesses only.
Converting to a permanent W10 license requires big bucks! Probably at least $1,500 or more. I can't recommend keeping it, but installing it on a 2nd hard drive or on a 2nd computer would be the best way to go. This is also the way many people start out using Linux as they are not sure about replacing their daily use computer with a new OS they are not comfortable with using. Bear in mind too that most of the features in the W10 Enterprise eval will not be usable by you unless you have a Win2008 R2 or newer network server installed in your home!
