Windows 10: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB vs Windows 10 IoT comparison

I have a dilemma where I have some machines that are running windows 10 Enterprise LTSC and I have to purchase some new ones and the company is only currently offering no OS or Windows 10 IoT. I read somewhere that they are the same thing, but I want to check here to see if there are any major differences that might cause problems with the software that we run on it. Our software vendor is concerned that it may not work correctly on IoT without testing it but we are kind of on a time crunch. Were there any changes made between LTSC and IoT and if so, what were they?

Windows 10 iot enterprise LTSB---Group policy option

Hi,

I would like to know initially, the difference between Windows 10 IOT enterprise LTSB vs Windows 10 enterprise LTSB. I have heard and used the iot version, but do they really have a normal version as well.??

Secondly, I tried to use the group policy option in Windows 10 IOT enterprise LTSB. I created a rule just for a test purpose so as to only allow notepad to work. I enabled the group policy and I closed all the windows. Now I am able to open only notepad,
I cant even go back to the group policy editor so as to revert. Do I need to do a system reset or do I have to repair my OS once again.? Or do they have a different option.?

 

windows 10 worth the upgrade?

People who don't need Edge, Store, and all those bloated W10 apps can get Windows 10 Enterprise ltsb. Ltsb is a "clean" Windows 10 edition plus you have all Enterprise functionality. Because it's stripped from all that bloatware it installs and boots faster than Pro version. Unfortunately ltsb is more expensive

manageability, and connectivity of Windows to a new class of devices.

Below are the steps to bring your IoT Core powered devices to life:

• Click to
  Download IoT Core
• Learn more about how to create applications and build proof of concepts and leverage step-by-step instructions, sample
  code, documentation, community projects and more…
• Ready to sell your product?
  Commercialize your device or
  Find your local distributor.

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
