Some of the improvements coming to Windows 10 IoT OS includes expanded silicon support, OS size reduction of up to 40% to enable smaller-footprint devices. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC comes with many features and advantages over the traditional Windows 10 Professional.During Build 2020 early this week, Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 IoT platform will get several new features and updates in the coming year. For OEMs building a dedicated appliance, Microsoft created the OEM IoT Embedded channel-specific for dedicated appliances. Many OEMs building systems for customers make the mistake of using the preloaded direct OEM licence for Windows 10 Professional or purchase the OEM System Builder version of Windows 10 Professional. It also locks devices into a single build of Windows 10 and allows full control of Windows updates.Īlso, 10 years of support and a great pricing model are compelling advantages for most OEMs. However, many of the consumer features such as Xbox, weather, news and other retail-based applications have been removed. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is the most popular edition as it is based on the full Windows 10 Enterprise.The SAC edition allows devices to stay current on the latest build but offers less control of Windows updates and has a much shorter support timeframe with only 18 to 30 months maximum of support. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) is based on full Windows 10 Enterprise supports Win32 and Win10 Universal Applications.It only supports Windows 10 Universal Applications and doesn’t have a regular Windows shell. Windows 10 IoT Core is ideal for smaller devices that only run a single application.The Windows 10 IoT editions provide different options for OEMs to align with their solutions: Further, the cost can be lowered based on the processor model, allowing lower-performing devices to have a lower cost.
This gives OEMs full control over Windows updates and simplifies the support for systems. OEMs no longer need to worry about new features or new builds of Windows 10 being pushed to the device which could in some cases cause a problem with their appliance. Based on the full version of Windows 10 Enterprise, the IoT LTSC edition changes the licence terms to focus on OEMs that build dedicated appliances, and the Long Term Service Channel provides for 10 years of support while locking into a single build version of Windows 10.
