Windows 11 Enterprise/IoT Enterprise (N) LTSC 2024 (24H2 / 26100.x) vs Microsoft Windows 11 IoT Enterprise [10.0.26300.9457], Version 26H2. the only main difference they have is in terms of long term updates support. the LTSC supports till October 2034; 26H2 through October 9, 2029. they share the same number of Microsoft apps, both have removable-package capabilities. LTSC doesn't get feature updates and IOT one gets feature updates? what are the main differences in both other than what i already mentioned of course.
Incorrect, the LTSC one doesn't have the apps. IoT Enterprise Non ltsc is just normal Enterprise with the difference that the IoT Enterprise doesn't enforce the windows 11 system requirements like secureboot and tpm2.0.
Thanks for all your efforts but I'm having a tough time keeping up. I must of missed something fundamentally as my understanding of running Windows-11-enterprise-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2024-24h2 was that it wouldn't require any updates (other than security patches), at least until the next iteration of it => sometime in 2027. I'm trying to understand the benefit to installing updates, rather than just doing so and hoping for the best. I've been running Windows-11-enterprise-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2024-24h2 on my Main Box since March and it's been rock solid. (I also put it on a couple of laptops where it performs great.) There are a few things I had to install as it's pretty lean as my daily Operating System. Now I see folks installing Windows Update KB5121794 - to go to 26H2 Build; but I don't understand what that would bring to the user experience. Can you point me to an explanation? Similarly, should I assume these Hotfixes are application related to specific software packages, or do you recommend all users of Windows-11-enterprise-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2024-24h2 install them. Just trying to understand the impact before making any changes. I'm learning every day. Thanks for the assist.
Incorrect, Enterprise has less bloatware compared to Pro verison, and the fact you can use policy to enforce and debloat ent alot better than pro, make ENT much better candidate than pro edition. Debloated Ent edition comes neck to neck with 24h2 in terms of bloatware and performance.
Enterprise is a virtual edition based on Pro, what less, for f**k sake i have to really use the term "bloatware", are we talking about, the stuff that should disappear when we do the license switch. Where do i say that Pro is better? Read again...
i was comparing LTSC with non LTSC, and i remember saying they come neck to neck in terms of bloatware, that's what i meant, and for f**k sake the LTSC is also a virtual edition not a separate branch, its just enterprise with less bloatware
