[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Enterprise/IoT Enterprise (N) LTSC 2021

toggledefender by bau works perfectly fine

 

First, disable TamperProtection:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Features]
"TamperProtection"=dword:00000004
"TamperProtectionSource"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender]
"DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection]
"DisableBehaviorMonitoring"=dword:00000001
"DisableOnAccessProtection"=dword:00000001
"DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable"=dword:00000001

Just installed "en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f" over the top of LTSC 1809. After reading A LOT of posts I was expecting I would need to do some tweaking to get up and running again, not sure what I did "wrong" but I didnt even have to re-activate. Most of the privacy settings in O&O and PrivacyRepair were still enabled and Defender was still disabled as well as Windows Firewall. Default programs didn"t change either. One thing I do notice is that ioT isn't enabled, winver reports the version as 21H2 (OS Build 1944.1348) so assuming that KMS 8.4 that I had enabled pre update may have something to do with that. Should I leave as is or update activation with KMS_VL_ALL? My Office 2019 install was unaffected.

 

IOT iso has normal LTSC and IOT sku indexes. If you were on LTSC already, it upgraded to LTSC index. You could technically change the key to the IOT key and activate with the luzeadev tool still. AFAIK the only difference between the skus is the CBS package regarding the activation. LTSC allows you to use many different activation methods and keys. I'm unsure about IOT sku and changing keys.

 

Thanks for the reply. Nah I wont bother trying to change to IOT. So I should be good leaving the 1809 KMS 8.4 activation in place? Asking because I had a different version "go bad" on me a few years ago, server couldn't be found, so updated to 8.4 and been good since. What about the "SppExtComObjHook.dll" requirement for auto activation? Will the KMS 8.4 method work to auto update?

Thanks

 

Latest KMSVLALL should work just fine. I believe luzeadev also handles the latest kms method. Most people prefer the HWID method as you don't have to mess with activators after that. It just auto-detects your hw and auto-reactivates. But you would need to swap your key to the IOT key for that as LTSC currently doesn't allow it.

 

Run your own kms server in a 5mb app in any android phone, no need to install anything on any system & you can carry this kms server in your pocket.

What's the point, LTSC 2021 & LTSC IoT 2021 are same with only difference being 5 years vs 10 years of support. 5 years is too long a time by the end of which who knows MS may release such a win 11 ltsc version that most would switch to instead of continue using win 10 ltsc. Just use LTSC IoT if hwid is required.

 

I updated my 1809 ltsc with legal MAK key to the latest ltsc and that works fine but you say it needs (re)activating which it does because it gives an errorcode..can you use the same key as in the 1809 version? and how do you activate legal way or is that not possible?

And if using the HWID activation which is cough cough the other way but what does it do, and how do you know its clean and your pc is not added to some botnet or remote takeover?

 

a friend of mine did a upgrade because he was too lazy and has some weird explorer bugs now, like force closing it or not showing the correct recent closed stuff on taskbar or way later. i would always advise to do a clean install if you can, of course if you want to just try to do a upgrade and see if anything works, but don't waste your time afterwards to fix bug xy, because more will come and afterwars a clean install would have been faster anyway.

for activation just use the normal ltsc 2021 version (not iot) and massgravels script from github, activate with kms38 and your done, nothing will run in the background. it will activate until 2038 or so and your done.

your old legal mak key shouldn't work on ltsc 2021
