    Windows 10 LTSC IOT?

    Anyone heard of this version of Windows 10? It's the Enterprise Edition and unlike the Pro or Home version, it won't hit end of life in October. In fact, it will still get security updates until 2032. And it has none of the bloatware that comes with Windows. This is the lightweight version.

    By the way, I'm running this version on one of my machines. And it's activated.

      Good information. I'm going to use the 21 version. Did you have to purchase a key?

        Looks like the key that is purchased is not for the IOT so support is good until 2027.

          Not it's another variant, you have Enterprise, Enterprise LTSB/LTSC, and Enterprise IoT LTSC.
          I could not find any official ways to buy a key for any LTSC / IoT LTSC, it's reserved to some customers. So yarr ol' matey

            Yes, I purchased a key for $22.

              I feel like most of the time you disagree simply to disagree. IOT is one of many Enterprise Editions that were intended for large corporations. And you can find a key if you know where to look.

                And sure I can find a key on ebay or whatever, perfectly fine in a production environment ... At this point just don't activate Windows, it's easier.

                  You know an awfully lot for someone who never used the product.
