    Since u already have Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 installed, just install the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 oem key, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 officially supports HWID digital Activation, then run Wsreset -i as an admin to get the Microsoft store

    People concerned by the writing 2019 over 2021, it's just matter of branding, not functionality nor certificates or whatever.

    If you want to read 2021 instead of 2019, no matter if you are on LTSC 19041.1 or what else, just replace the \windows\branding folder with the one taken from the ISO of a released LTSC2021 (aka 19044.1288)
    Don't waste your time doing useless / pointless things like in place upgrades only to have a changed number.

    Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is the same. There is no need to do what I did

    U can't officially digitally activate Enterprise LTSC 2021. IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 officially supports digital activation.

    Install the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 oem key, activate it, then run Wsreset -i. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 looks the same

    Hi everyone. I have downloaded windows enterprise 2021 ltsc evaluation and installed. Now trying to activate for 90 days. But it shows error code 0x87E10BC6 (Something prevented us from communicating with our activation servers). I am using local account not microsoft account. Is there any way to activate this trial. (I could activate windows enterprise 2019 ltsc evaluation). Thanks in advance!

    very well my friend I took a long time to reach the same conclusion so this morning I took the ssd with the W10 LTSC 2019 system image and ran back to this version, although I also know that it has a serious memory management problem but after a long search I myself found the solution; so now it looks like my system will be operable until 2029 i guess i don't remember things about an old guy well...;):D

    There is no need to copy certificates over Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 looks the same

    obviously they are the same, if they weren't already there you couldn't switch from LTSC to IoT and viceversa just with slmgr /ipk <serial>

    Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching but I suck at it and couldn't find an answer. It isn't possible to activate Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSC 2021 by HWID, is it?

    No. Only the IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 versions (which are the very same OS, just with different licensing and longer support) support HwID.

    Well it depends of what one intends with licensing.

    If intended as just a different commercial channel and support, no

    If intended as different kernel policies, yes. But that also means that the two OSes are not 100% identical in functionality, although they are very close.

    Policy.PNG

    Here is a comparison, yellow =IoT, Red=LTSC (the 5th/6th rows are way too long to fit in the screen).

    But you can see that, for example, the windows sandbox feature is enabled in IoT but not in LTSC, other differences are offscreen.

    In short saying that they are identical is a bit of stretch

    Where can I download the cleanest and latest version of Windows 10 LTSC? I currently have Windows 10 LTSC 1809 installed with a legit key.
