    It has been a while since i had to install windows10 ltsc. Currently running 1809 and I am in need of an upgrade.

    I found the link to this post which refers to all the isos. I found this post for adding store to ltsc (which i may have to do for nvidia drivers to work with newer games?). From what i read, It seems i do not need the iot version, but the regular one (right?).

    I have several questions about the posts i found, to which i could not find an answer:
    1. Windows 10 ltsc enterprise 2021 seems to be upgrade only. I prefer to do a clean install however. is this possible?
    2. How do i go about finding and verifying the checksum of the iso i have?
    3. I have a license on my 1809, which i may or may not have carried over from an older install. Is this still valid, how would i check this, and do i need an activator (MAS?)
    Appreciate any help and guides.

    Where do you get that from?
    Section: "[ MVS ISO Checksums ]"
    No, only KMS keys are still the same.

    Don't remember, assuming you mean this is false?

    Right - I see the checksums, but how does the process of verifying it work?

    Meaning.. i can or cannot use it with the latest ltsc?

    This is definitely false, LTSC can be installed like any other SKU.

    LTSC 2019 licenses do not work with 2021. Only KMS activations are still the same as 2019.

    1809 is supported and updated until 2028. I'm running 1809 and installed an update last week (Sept. 20).

    What's the problem?
