    I am trying to update from 1803 to 21H2. I first updated to 1903, but now when I try to upgrade to 21H2 I am not allowed to keep my programs, only my files. I had to download the EN-GB version of the ISO since the US version is no longer available, could this be why? I'm currently on build 18363.2274

    The en-US version will be available too, as it is the original MSFT language, what ISO do you want?

    If the correct language ISO is used it should offer to keep all.

    Keep in mind this is the Enterprise 2021 LTSC thread, 1803 and 1903 are not LTSC!

    I'm trying to download the c90a6df8997bf49e56b9673982f3e80745058723a707aef8f22998ae6479597d *en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso file, but it says it was removed.

    Sorry I misspoke, I was on 1809 and am now on 1909. My edition only says Windows 10 Enterprise now though, I seem to remember it saying Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC when I was on 1809 before I upgraded to 1909

    Ah I see, am I able to install the Enterprise 2021 version, the non-LTSC one? I'm thinking I move away from LTSC as the lack of feature updates is starting to cause more issues with software compatibility than its worth. Going to 2021 Pro would be even better

    You now can safely upgrade to the current non LTSC Enterprise ediiton or anything above 18363 aka 1909.

    To be able to get the offer to keep all you first need to upgrade to Enterprise or probably Education too.

    Next you can switch license to Pro but i would go to Education.

    Considering he unknowingly went from Enterprise 2019 LTSC to non LTSC Enterprise 1909, something is messed up for sure;):D

    Maybe some games that require the store (which is easily installable).

    In short that's the perfect example of how big corps makes money, they leverage on the user's laziness.

    How many times are you going to ask the same question? Again, it's useless to install the 22H2 EP on Enterprise 2021 LTSC (21H2).

    We don't support frankenbuilding, especially if you don't know what your doing.

    @Enthousiast has explained everything regarding the 22H2 EP on LTSC 2021 scenario. You should also give this thread a thorough read to understand how pointless your quest is.

    I kindly ask you to refrain from posting about this particular topic, otherwise we might have to temp-ban you.

    Is there a way to change from Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSC 2021 to IoT version and activate?

    Hello,

    I am getting to install win10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC but its not clear to me how to activate windows? There is something called hwid activation which I dont know what is about, than there is some script activation? I was activating LTSC 2019 with "kms_vl_all" for 180days.

    What is type of activation best for me as an private user?

    HWID is gone, use KMS_VL_ALL or KMS38.
