Windows 10: How do i change my windows edition from Win 10 loT Enterprise 2021 LTSC, to Win 10 Pro?

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 Downgrade Rights for Windows 11 Pro

Does Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 come with downgrade rights for Windows 11 Pro? Am I allowed to use Windows 11 Pro with the W10 Ent LTSC 2021 license?

 

Upgrade Pro to Enterprise LTSC

Hello everyone,

I am going to Upgrade my Windows 10 Pro (22H2) to Enterprise LTSC 2021.
Background:
My Tablet doesn't support Windows 11 and I want to stretch the support. The support of Enterprise 2021 LTSC ends Jan. the 12th 2027.

Now I'm looking for the best path to upgrade.

This tutorial gives a lot of informations: Upgrade Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise

But I#m not sure, if I can upgrade this special edition easy by changing the product key only.

I've got a valid and legal Key and the installation files.
May it be a good way to start the setup.exe from the running OS?

Thank you very much for every helpful answer!

Best regards from Germany
Markus

 

Does M365 E3 license (trough EA/Volume licensing) also give right to Win 10 Enterprise LTSC (IOT)?

Thanks Carl!

Diving deeper on this, I come to the following:

1. Having M365 E3 at itself gives right to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise.
2. The Product terms clearly exclude lower editions like Win 10 Ent LTSB/LTSC (which is apparently the same as the IOT) when it comes to certain M365 Suites like the F and the Business suite. No such exclusions are present for the E3 or the E5. Knowing the
   IOT is a bit "dressed down" version of the Win 10 ENT, the Win 10 Enterprise should give you the right to opt for the Win 10 IOT Ent. edition, if you do not have a plan that specifically excludes this.
3. The right to upgrade using the Win 10 Enterprise Upgrade option in your E3 suite, assumes there is an underlying OEM/qualifying license for your OS.
4. The Win10 Qualifying OS guidelines state:
   
   The following operating systems qualify for the Windows 10 Pro Upgrade and/or
   Windows 10 Enterprise Upgrade through Microsoft Volume Licensing:
5. Followed by a list of OS' that are required and give right to perform an upgrade via the Win 10 Enterprise Upgrade option in your suite (in this case the M365 E3 suite).

So I would say based on this that it is possible to upgrade to Win 10 IOT Enterprise/LTSC if you also comply with the Qualifying OS list.

So for example:

- if you have Windows 7 Embedded POSReady devices, then you cannot upgrade these via the the E3 to either Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 IOT Enterprise, as it is not a qualifying OS.

- if you have Windows Embedded 8.1 Pro, you should be able to upgrade to either Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 IOT Enterprise, as it is a qualifying OS.

Or I am completely wrong and missing something essential here...
