Currently with 10 years support – Fire and forget These devices must in many cases also be up and running 24/7 with no interruptions.Īnother aspect to take into consideration is that the business does not care if it is Windows 10 version X or whatever version of anything if the monitor is displaying the information or performing what the business needs are. Often the hardware is not easily accessible. The reason for choosing LTSC with these two customers are simple and has been the same in both cases they are ideal for devices that typically do not have any dedicated users and serve one purpose only, and that is to display information or let users interact with it through a single application as a kiosk.

Among all deployment projects and customers I have worked with, only in two of those cases did we have to go with LTSC edition of Windows 10, after very careful and thorough evaluation of cloud and Windows as a Service being the natural top choices. I am the strongest of cloud advocates and for Windows as a service, but I must as a professional adjust and look at customer needs and conditions as well as cost efficiency. I have been working with about 30 customers around Windows 10 since the launch of Windows 10 almost six years ago. In a statement a few weeks ago Microsoft announced significant changes to how long Windows 10 LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) is supported.
