- IoT Enterprise LTSC edition ISO's are available in English language only. But don't worry, you can install Non-IoT Enterprise LTSC in another language and later install IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 key `QPM6N-7J2WJ-P88HH-P3YRH-YY74H` to change the edition.
- LTSC editions do not have Store apps installed by default. However, if you upgrade from GAC to LTSC, all your Store apps will be retained. In contrast, if you perform a clean installation of Windows LTSC, Store apps will not be installed. For instructions on how to install them manually, please refer to this [page](windows_ltsc_links.md).
- IoT editions are [binary identical](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/Overview) to Enterprise editions. The difference is in licensing. You can use it just fine on a general-purpose device.

## Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 24H2 / IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024
Many users choose not to use Windows 11 due to hardware limitations, such as a lack of TPM, Secure Boot, or UEFI support. While it is possible to bypass these limitations, doing so is officially unsupported and may lead to issues with future updates.
There is good news.
However, a promising alternative is available.
In 2024, Microsoft released Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 24H2 (GAC) / IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 (LTSC) which has [relaxed hardware requirements](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/Hardware/System_Requirements?tabs=Windows11LTSC#optional-minimum-requirements).
You can officially install these Windows 11 editions without meeting the usual hardware requirements, such as TPM, Secure Boot, and UEFI, while still receiving continued support in the future.
