    Better to switch after install, IoT won't run any scripts during install.

    so there is no solution?

    ps. enterprise ltsc n 2019 eval has no problem with activation (tested on hyperv) and there is no edge by default, but i don't know how to run it on surface laptop 5 (minimal supported build is 19044).
    if i'll upgrade to 2021 eval, will activation stay? if yes, then i could try to use native vhd boot for example

    ps2. i decided to sell my surface laptop 5 (because of minimal supported build) and buy surface laptop 4, because its intel processor supports iot ltsc 2019

    You could try

    After installing yesterday's update, when restarting the PC, the power plan changed by itself to balanced, since I was using it in economy mode before, do you think it's normal for the update to make win change the power plan by itself?

    Dear Friend!

    I have a question regarding Windows 10 LTSC.

    At the moment my laptop use 10 Home but every time that i reinstall it i lost a lot of time uninstalling stupid software that i never used like store, one drive, candy crush (!)

    I know that 10 wil be EOL in 2024 and my laptop cant upgrade to 11 (another crap os!)

    I want to ask an info:

    - if i install windows 10 LTSC and with MAS i convert to IoT and activate it via hwid with MAS i can reinstall it every time without problem?
    - i risk ban of my hardware/hardware id?
    - if i reinstall windows 10 LTSC to convert to IoT i need only to use the generic product key and thank to the previous MAS activation it will be activated automatically?
    - the use of LTSC that is based on W10 21H1 can create some security problem or other compatibility issue? I know that the last W10 is 22H2

    Thanks very much!

    Yes.
    Not for MSFT.
    Should work but why not just re-run MAS.
    It has full MSFT support for 5 + 5 years, should be no problems.

    I prefer to do a clean install after the MAS activation only because this PC is used for senstive information and i think it's better to stay away from strange script...

    Only a question, for every day use, LTSC IoT is ok or it's better to stay on Windows 10 Pro 22H2?

    I need a stable, compatible and reliable system

    MAS HWID does not install or change anything only a key at the most.

    It was originally meant for (advertised) task specific hardware like hospital devices so it is as reliable as should be.

    Do you suggest to install LTSC IoT without problemi and abandon 10 Pro?

    P.S: what Is the right photo viewer for LTSC?

    nevermind. it looks like disabling wlms service to avoid shutdown every hour works, so need no activation anymore. i even wouldn't have to reinstall system every 3 months.

    Do you know if the use of LTSC 2021 IoT can create some compatibility problem with software?

    At the moment Windows 10 Pro use 22H2 and the LTSC will not arrive at this version.

    Can be a problem in the future? Better to stay on 22H2 and wait to October 2025 the EOL of 10?

    And i am using full versions, EVAL can't be activated beyond it's evaluation period anyway.
    Not likely but with games it can.

    It will likely become a problem at some point beyond 2025, in that it's unlikely most browsers/new games/etc will still work on Windows 10 in 2032 when IoT LTSC 2021 finally reaches end of life. But in the here and now I've had zero compatibility issues running LTSC. All games and such work just fine. I've even used the Xbox app and Game Pass on it without any problems. There's no reason that should change any time soon, especially given that Microsoft are done with feature updates for Windows 10.
