    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

    Can confirm this; Installed IoT over 1809 and non IoT was actually installed I guess because I had KMS 8.4 activation in place. I tried running winactivate-1.3.1 over the top of the already activated install but activation time didn't change to 2038 as I expected it would. KMS_VL_ALL had no change either. I said what the heck and tried 2038 method in KMS 8.4 and boom changed to 2038 expiration. Although, it identified as EnterpriseN 2019 when it completed and EnterpriseS in it's in app status checker.

    Had me right up to having to use the IP on my phone. I use a VPN and it changes quite often. Cool concept though.

    Does this new build contain Ryzen optimizations absent in the previous build?
    Edit: NVM, it does.

    Hey guys, can someone give me detailed explanation, how to activate Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC ?

    I tried with luzeadev winactivate, running it as administrator, and I get Error:0xC004D302
    It also tells me to run the command that will tell me what the error is and I do, and it says
    "The security processor reported that the trusted data store was rearmed"

    Something interfering or messed up, it simply should HWID activate IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC.

    Want to report, I successfully activated the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC using Windows 10 Digital Activation Program v1.4.5.1 by Ratiborus

    First I clicked Rearm, prompt showed up asking me to restart the PC,I did, after that I opened the program again and clicked Activate using HWID, and now its activated.
    Obviously always run as administrator.

    Hi, is there any possibility to revert winactivate KSM38 activation? Suppose I buy a valid license key later on and I would like to use it? The program patches at least two files in Windows LTSC, is there any way I can revert that?

    If not, are there any other activators for LTSC (regular, non-IoT) that use KMS and can be reverted?

    Thanks!
     
    There’s nothing to revert as the file being patched are inside the folder of the script and only temporarily used. No system files are being patched. Just buy a key (what a stupid idea, really) and change it in the settings.
