From where are you trying to download the ISO? It wouldn't matter since the editions of both are same OEM Pro(correct me if I am I incorrect)
Windows 10 Pro version difference
What is the difference between the OEM Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit V1607 ISO X20-08980 and X21-05999?

2018-03-19T08:48:10+00:00 I think the poster is asking about the two Windows 10 64bit versions that are available for download under the Partner login.
I have the same quandary about which I need:
- Product: Windows 10 Professional Version 10 Language English, DL Size 2851MB
Part Number: X20-08980
and
- Windows 10 Professional, Version 1607 64 bit English Version 10 DL Size 4177MB
Part Number: X21-05999
The 1607 version (x21) is almost double the size - my googling has identified it as the anniversary version - in 2016.
But no idea if the other one is later. I can see what is included - but no idea when the other is released, or what is left out of that one.
I'm setting up a VM so would prefer not to be stalled by lots of updates when I'm trying to get into some dev.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
