What is Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024?

LTSC stands for “Long-Term Servicing Channel” (formerly LTSB). These editions receive no feature upgrades and stay at the same state for many years. The Microsoft Store, most preinstalled apps and advertising tiles are deliberately missing. This makes LTSC the first choice for computers that are to run unchanged and reliably for a long time: point-of-sale systems, machine controls, medical and laboratory equipment, kiosk PCs or control rooms.

Well prepared for installation

Before a clean installation, back up your documents, pictures, emails and browser bookmarks to an external drive or the cloud. Note down the login details and licence keys of your programs.
