You need to wipe your drive and reinstall windows in order to switch to the ltsc branch.
This said, are you aware that windows 10 dies in October and any security issues (~50 discovered every month, although not all very serious) won't get patched anymore?
Better get used now to w11 or Linux rather than next year after automatically getting a ransomware and losing all your data after visiting a dodgy site
I thought LTSC have 10 years support?
LTSC IOT does
Just FYI. Microsoft Windows IoT is Microsoft Windows Enterprise. They are the same thing. Saying "IOT does" as if they're not the same thing is incorrect.
There’s LTSC and LTSC IOT. And they’re both Enterprise. The difference is 5 years support and 10 years support.
Only if you install w10 1809 that was released in 2018. It is ancient and missing so many features that's almost using another operating system. But at least will get security updates until 2028
Otherwise they altered the deal, latest ltsc was released in 2021 with only 5 years of security updates
On the Enterprise channel, it does. Until 2032, IIRC. So you'll need either Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
2032 is only for iot version that's designed for ATM and similar appliances, missing too many features to be considered a good alternative
Windows Enterprise (including Windows IoT) LTSC ends mainstream support Jan 12, 2027, and security updates will continue until 2032.
I've read somewhere that Microsoft will be charging for extended windows 10 support. And I've also read that somebody is planning a project to be able to download the windows 10 extended support patches without Microsoft. Can't remember where I read it
Remember when Microsoft said Win10 would be the last windows? That would have been cool.
Yeah it would have. Microsoft sucks 😆
