You will probably have to rerun the activation script, if the build is 19044.2788+ it will accept KMS activation.
2021 IoT LTSC will get support until 2032, there will not be an ESU extension for it. Normal Windows 10 22H2 SKUs will get a paid extension for 1 year (customer) or 3 years (business). After the 3 years, LTSC updates will most probably be barred in these SKUs.
We really hope our dear developers on this forum, can make a "Bypass" like they did with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. So we can get updates from LTSC (2032-01) to the "normal" SKU (22H2).
After Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 installation, how can I turn it to IoT LTSC and activate it ? Thanks for the assistance rendered!
The key is only for switching Editions, it's an official and publicly known default key. The switch to IoT is permanent. Nothing to do with activation.
I'm building a new PC and want to use Win 10 LTSC. A couple of years ago I downloaded what I think is LTSC 2021 [21H2] - file name ends with "d289cf96." I have it ready to go on a flash drive. Is this still the latest 10 LTSC version? Will it work OK with Intel Arrow lake CPUs and B860 boards/drivers?
There is only one ISO version released, build 19044.1288 (the ISOs can be found at the OP of this thread, the Updates Overview too.
OK good, then mine is the most recent. Do you know if it should be OK for the latest hardware like the Intel 265K and motherboards? I assume it will be, but don't know for certain about drivers, BIOS updates and such.
Check your hardware driver support page, if it mentions 10 is supported, if yes, then all should be fine.
Read what @Enthousiast has said above. Get or download the original ISO, and update it as shown in this Spoiler: POST https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1571109]. After this you should be ready to go
one of my systems running Windows 10 is an Ultra 5 245K on a Gigabyte B860M mainboard and everything is working fine. you can use SDIO if you have any missing drivers (that is what I did). -andy-
