    If I upgrade Win10 Pro to Enterprise edition, what happens to MS Store and Store apps? Will they get removed?
    Thanx.

    usually, MS Store can be only installed and not remove
    so it probably will keep working.

    you will keep the store and all installed store apps.
    I made this "upgrade" a few times in the past.
    the last time I did this was quite some time ago, but I suspect this behaviour has not changed with LTSC 2021.

    This behavior has not changed :)
    "Upgrading" from Pro to LTSC 2021 preserves Store and all Apps.
    You will believe you still have Pro until you run the winver command ;)
