if you want to go from enterprise SAC to LTSC and keep everything, you have to modify a single registry key, before you run the setup.exe. IIRC it is the "EditionID" in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. you have to change it from Enterprise to EnterpriseS. -andy-
So is the LTSC 2021 out and publicly available ? Sorry didn't read the back thread, too many pages to go through.

Mine is quite broad, and I know what to re-enable if needed, or have a different device for some function (print, bluetooth, local network).
heh, looks like I m more "lucky" : 3rd day after clean-install and the Update manager page on the settings displays the error "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later" - fixes etc are doing nothing, rubbish - and keep in mind I still did not manage to change anything like local policies/registry etc... typical post installs: chrome/libreoffice and some utils via chocolatey.
I'm entirely new to LTSC. How do I install this? I am familiar with flashing usb drives and installing new OSes, but I have no idea what I'm looking at here.
It's just enterprise but with longer support, no feature updates, no UWP apps and some more, installing is exactly the same as on non LTSC editions.
Thanks for your reply. I read that the Eval version can't be activated, however in your 2nd post I see a link under: "Downloads (en-US) 19044.1288 LTSC FULL:". Do I just download that ISO, flash it, and install as usual? What about all the other links posted by you and other users?
Could you please tell me how did you activated the 2021 IoT LTSC version? Because KMS_VL_ALL-45 change it to enterprise 2021 Non IoT LTSC version...
This is the Enterprise (IoT) 2021 LTSC SVF(SFX) Repo: And I am adding direct ISO links to the OP checksum info.
