You may be able to find some retailers still selling old Windows licences, but I do believe sales of previous Windows versions have stopped. You could always get a retail copy of Windows 10 and upgrade the system.

Is that regular Enterprise version? I'm not aware of different levels of Enterprise. But in general, Windows Enterprise, at least with Windows 7, could not be purchased separately. They are only for enterprise customers with volume licensing. We use Enterprise at work due to being a Microsoft partner, and we are given a blanket product key that works for a soft number of activations.

Well the educational institution could've just deployed 7 Enterprise on PCs and stuff.
