Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024
The latest generation fixed-purpose IoT operating system with a 10-year lifecycle, built on Windows 11 24H2. Designed for specialized devices in banking, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and hospitality.
Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 is purpose-built for fixed-function devices that must remain stable and unchanged over many years. Unlike consumer Windows releases, the LTSC variant locks the feature set at release and receives only quality and security updates throughout its supported lifecycle. It is the optimal choice for devices that require regulatory certification, long deployment cycles, or an appliance-like user experience.
