## Notes
- Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) releases are designed to provide longer update support (10 years) and it lacks most of the Store (UWP) apps.
- Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on [October 14, 2025](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro). So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until [Jan 13, 2032](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021).
- Microsoft provides Evaluation ISO public [links](https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/evalcenter) for Windows LTSC releases, but as the name states, those ISO's are for evaluation purposes and can not be activated.
- Microsoft provides full version of Windows LTSC on [MVS](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/) and [VLSC](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/ServiceCenter/default.aspx) but for them, you need to pay a high subscription fee.
- For these reasons, we need to host files on 3rd party. You can check [here](genuine-installation-media.md#verify-authenticity-of-files) on how to be sure that files are genuine.
- IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 ISO is available in English language only. However you can install Non-IoT version in your language and install IoT key `QPM6N-7J2WJ-P88HH-P3YRH-YY74H` to switch the edition or just use HWID activation in MAS which will do that for you.
- Difference between IoT and Non-IoT Windows Enterprise LTSC 2021:
- Licensing - Non-IoT version supports the KMS license but not the Digital license. IoT version supports the Digital license and after the update 19044.2788, it supports the KMS license as well.
- Sandbox - Initial release (19044.1288) of IoT LTSC didn't have sandbox but non-IoT version had. Later updates enabled it in IoT as well, so there is no difference anymore.
- Reserved storage feature - IoT doesn't have reserved storage feature and it's install takes less space in installation. (Feature is not much important for LTSC release)
- Windows Update - IoT is supported till 2032 and Non-IoT is supported till 2027.
Conclusion, IoT LTSC is better.
- You can change the editions to each other (IoT and Non-IoT Windows Enterprise LTSC) only by inserting corresponding edition key.
- Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) releases are designed to provide longer update support (10 years) and it lacks most of the Store (UWP) apps.
- Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on [October 14, 2025](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro). So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until [Jan 13, 2032](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021) or Windows 11 24H2 IoT editions (LTSC/GAC both) because they [don't require](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/Hardware/System_Requirements?tabs=Windows11LTSC#optional-minimum-requirements) TPM / Secure boot / UEFI / 4GB RAM.
- Microsoft provides Evaluation ISO public [links](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter) for Windows LTSC releases, but as the name states, those ISO's are for evaluation purposes and can not be activated for more than 90 days.
- Microsoft provides full version of Windows LTSC on [MVS](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/), [VLSC](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/ServiceCenter/default.aspx) and [OEM Portal](https://devicepartner.microsoft.com/) but for them, you need to pay a high subscription fee. For this reason, we need to host files on 3rd party. You can check [here](genuine-installation-media.md#verify-authenticity-of-files) on how to be sure that files are genuine.

- There are ISOs available for IoT Enterprise LTSC/LTSB 2019, 2016, and 2015, but they only have the Non-IoT LTSC OEM key preinstalled. The installed key is the only difference. There is no real, different IoT edition available for these versions.
