    How bad is to install LTSC 2021 (21H2) on top of LTSC 2019 (1809) using the setup.exe? I don't feel like reinstalling everything.

    should be out of the box, but needs activation after.

    The only difference is that the first .iso is regular LTSC and the other .iso is IoT LTSC.

    Both released the same date and none is newer then the other.

    Regular LTSC, 5 year support, can be activated with KMS_VL_ALL

    IoT LTSC, 10 year support, must be activated with KMS38

    Pick your poison!

    Has LTSC 2021 integrated WSL2 or WSL?
    The same question for IoT.

    it's not iot enterprise specific.
    it's september security update.
    You can set RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled to dword 0 in the registry key on the printer shared host. registry path :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

    Maybe you will not have any problems if you upgrade but clean install is better option. Also, if you dont have any issues with 2019, just stay with 2019

    My LTSC-2019 in-place upgrade to LTSC-2021 was successful without issues… The icons on the desktop had to be reorganized per my previous setup, otherwise AOK…

    If you use O&O ShutUP10 and / or WPD (Wndows Privacy Detection) you will need to rescan and update your preference for the telemetry changes between these OS’s…

    I suggest creating an up-to-date Disk Image of your LTSC-2019 System Partition before performing this in-place upgrade, in case you have issues and want to revert back to LTSC-2019…

    As mentioned by others, a Clean Install is ideal unless you prefer to retain your previous programs and settings as I did…

    I’ve tested 100+ programs that are installed on my ASUS ROG G750 17” Laptop and all are working without issue…

    The bottom line is, it takes time to determine if all is well especially with a new OS… Try it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain… Having used this Laptop since 2014, with Win7, Win8.1, LTSB-2015, LTSB-2016 and LTSC-2019 for 3 years, I am impressed with the performance improvement of LTSC-2021 vs previous OS installations…

    Yeah, it's still a festering dung-heap, but much less so than the 'alternative', of which I wouldn't wipe my ass on, even after a hot curry.

    works fine for me, store, xbox app and so on. i can play gamepass games without a problem, forza 5 for example.
    you will have to install the store first of course and with the next bigger windows update, it's possible that it will not work anymore, with newer or patched games. like currently for you with your older windows version.

    Update completed with zero issues other than having to reassign default programs. It feels great to be finally able to enable RTX in all games, also those that only recognize the latest DXR library introduced with version 2004.

    The days of Win 98 are long gone... in place upgrade works perfectly in 2021 spending hours to reinstall everything after a clean install is just stupid nowadays

    In normal win 10 it works by right clicking taskbar--news & interests--show icon.
