Understanding Windows LTSC

To provide context for those unfamiliar with Microsoft’s enterprise offerings, the Windows Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), previously known as LTSB (Long Term Servicing Branch), is specifically tailored for critical environments that demand stability and minimal modifications. This version of Windows exclusively receives essential security updates and bug fixes, with newer feature updates rolled out approximately every three years. It benefits from around five years of mainstream support and can enjoy extended support for up to ten years.

The latest iteration, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, was launched on November 16, 2021, and is based on the 21H2 release of Windows 10. Mainstream support for this version will conclude on January 12, 2027, making it imperative for organizations to plan their upgrades accordingly.
