Good day guys, very good community here I'm planning to upgrade from scratch my main workstation from LTSC 2019 (KMS Activated, i cannot remember wich method i used years ago...) to LTSC 2021 IOT on a new NVME SDD. I think if i understood correctly because it is binary equivalent, I'll go with IOT In order to preserve the 10 years extended support. I care about privacy on my devices and because i cannot jump to full Linux for work related reasons, i'm gonna activate it with the offline KMS38 method from massgravel script. In 2038 probably my hardware will be in the trash can anyway. I'm open to suggestions from you guys, surely more expert than me. Thanks in advance
But i don't want to use an activation method that sends to Microsoft stuff. Now, what to do then? Install LTSC non IOT, activate it with KMS38 and change it to IOT?...
why do you want to use iot in the first place? just get the normal ltsc version and activate it with kms38. do you really use an OS for more then 5 years without a fresh install?
You are right, but i really like the "setup and forget" feeling that give me ten year of extended support like LTSC 2019. Probably i'm overacting. Keep it simple.
If you change a KMS or KMS38-activated Enterprise LTSC to the IoT SKU, you will lose KMS activation, as IoT does not support it.

Yes i confirm & cross checked it myself as they have removed the link from there source index. let me cross check if there any other legit link to be shared for same SamDrivers 22 iso. i downloaded it yesterday without any issue.
Newcomer here. I’m so confused right now, what is KMS38? Isn’t HWID better? I just want the latest Enterprise LTSC. Also what are these activation methods? Isn’t KMS38 one of those things detected as a virus or that keeps running in the background? Also, where can I get an official, untouched ISO, the first page just has a bunch of random text. My apologies for all the stupid questions, I m just so done with the usual Windows bloatware and nagging to use Edge.
