Windows 10: Upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate Embedded into Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Dear support,


our company bought several PCs that came with Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems pre-installed with a valid license key (also in form of a sticker). The PCs were bought between 2014 and 2018. Due to end of support for Windows 7 we started to look for possibilities to upgrade to Windows 10. The supplier (Siemens) could not answer our questions regarding the upgrade and pointed us to Microsoft directly.

From what I managed to find out, is that the closes version of Windows 10 to the current OS would be the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. Is this correct? If so, will we be able to use the license keys provided by the supplier and upgrade to Windows 10? How do we obtain the necessary installation image?


Thanks in advance for help!

Actually, IoT Core does not have a menu, that is the default application that comes installed on the sample image from Microsoft. When you create your device you would replace that default experience with the purpose driven application for your solution.
As for securing an IoT device, it really depends on its purpose and environment but for information on IoT Core you can find documentation at WindowsOnDevices.com. Specifically
