    I have a legit Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 key, but no longer have access to the company. Trying to upgrade to 2021...

    Do I need to activate a certain way? I tried the other day, but received a message that I wasn't connected to the "organization's activation server"

    Maybe I have the wrong x64 ISO?

    you just answered to yourself :D

    there are plenty of good activators, MAS 1.8 (Google Search) & KMS VL ALL from abbodi1406
    just try by yourself...

    MAS activates 2021 LTSC by HWID after converting it to IoT LTSC first, so after a clean install the HWID won't be there automatically.

    They initially made it work by looking what the gatherosstate.exe does but the result was not allowed to be published here;)

    A small query, do these updates add "minor features" like "show search highlights" option in taskbar search box in LTSC 2021?

    I just did this a few days ago, on 4/11/2023 to be precise. Everything worked, and the resulting ISO image was written to a flash drive with Rufus and used to install LTSC 2021 on a new computer, no problems whatsoever. I gathered all the files listed by Enthusiast, put them in a directory together with W10UI version 10.25, extracted an original ISO image:

    en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso

    and then had at it. Let me just add a big "Thank You" to Enthusiast for all of his work putting this stuff together for us.

    Here is the output from running W10UI:
