    If you mean the "seemingly genuine" keys(the ones people buy on ebay etc) then no.

    I have found the 'tee vee' channel on youtube that does this by using the license files from different SKU. You can basically move to whatever you want. I successfully moved LTSC to Pro using this method in VM.

    Is LTSC 2021 broken/unstable in anyway because of this?

    Please clarify, I really need a answer to this.

    Thanks in advance!

    Your system does not install any files from the boot.wim. It doesn't matter if the file is bloated. The sku lacking the provisioned-appx (store apps) is kinda the whole point of using ltsc. It's the selling point, IMO.
    No, it is not broken in any way because of this.

    I agree, and wish I didn’t start the clean install process, and taking hours from my weekend. I have a Ryzen 9 3900X, paired with an RTX 2080TI, and I am not seeing any noticeable improvements. I only upgraded because everyone around the World Wide Web kept mentioning the, Ryzen Scheduler being included, and it helping with performance. I was happy with 1809, and should have stayed put.

    Thanks Murphy!

    So when I clean install with
    en_us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso I will not experience any trouble or funny business in the long run?

    That or the IOT variant. People seem to be installing with the LTSC iso and changing key to IOT version to activate.

    Ok, well that doesn't bother me. As long as I don't have to install it and find out MS screwed things up when I'm configurating and installing games and software just because the official iso was broken.

    They install non IoT LTSC in their language and next they use the key to change it to IoT LTSC (because IoT LTSC ISO is en-US only) and next they activate it by HWID (non IoT LTSC can't be HWID activated, yet, KMS(38) only).

    I used Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 x64 ISO from one of the original <10 hr links here with SHA256 hash of c90a6df8997bf49e56b9673982f3e80745058723a707aef8f22998ae6479597d

    It's asking me if I want to install LTSC or LTSC N. I chose N but ended up having to install Windows Media pack anyways.


    My question: Why is it asking me if I want LTSC or LTSC N? I downloaded the en-US version. N is the EU required version.

    en-US has N versions too, it's the main language for MSFT.

    Next time just select the non N version.
