    IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC gets 5 more years of support and can be retail/hwid activated, Enterprise 2021 LTSC doesn't.

    If you are planning on moving to the next enterprise 2024 ltsc (expected next year) then there is no need for the switch.

    Yes I know but I have the regular LTSC version not the iOt one.
    It was converting into iOt version with HDWin with permanent activation.
    Now how I can convert the regular LTSC into IOT one without redownloading the IOT iso?

    Surely you activated in the past by HWID. Now if you haven't changed the hardware, the system activate by itself when contacting MS servers.

    All ISOs we share on MDL are original and genuine untouched MSFT, when you install the IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC directly and there already was a previously established hwid it picks it up automatically, same for when you switch from Enterprise 2021 LTSC to iOT Enterprise 2021 LTSC.

    1. HWID is saved on MSFT servers whether you linked it to your MSA or not, when the correct hwid key is inserted on systems with a previously established HWID it will be picked up and activates the install.
    2. Enterprise 2019 LTSC activation/hwid is not the same as 2021 LTSC.

    For the 2021 LTSC version, not for the 2019 LTSC version and the IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC version = Enterprise 2019 LTSC.

    Wait...
    Does this mean they actually will release a 2024 LTSC Windows 10 release?

    Someone was able to activate the regular LTSC 2021 (non-IoT) with HWID. How?
    I've tried but MAS just converts it to IoT 2021.
