Can I upgrade from Win10 enterprise 2019 LTSC to Win10 enterprise IoT 2019 LTSC

Hi all,

I am looking to understand if it is possible to "upgrade" from Win10 enterprise 2019 LTSC to Win10 enterprise IoT 2019 LTSC. We have some devices that currently are in use with Win10 enterprise 2019 LTSC installed. As this version is now out of support and not receiving all updates we are hoping to change to Win10 enterprise IoT 2019 LTSC as an in place upgrade or similar method that will not cause us to lose data. Is it as simple as changing to a relevant licence key or more involved?

Thanks in advance

Patrick

 

How can I upgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 to LTSC 2019 or higher?

Hi Sarira,

Thank you for the reply.

You cannot upgrade from Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 to LTSC 2019 because each new LTSC or LTSB release requires a new license.

I hope this clarifies your concern.

 

Downgrade option Enterprise Win10 2019 LTSC to Win10 2016 LTSB

Hi Vladimir,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Those two versions of Windows do not share the same set of licence keys, it would not be possible to downgrade to Win10 2016 LTSB and activate that with a Win10 2019 LTSC key.
