However, that isn’t the case with large companies. Upgrades within a company are difficult to roll-out, especially when talking about enterprises with a large computer infrastructure. Delivering updates alone can be quite a task at a company-wide level. That is why Microsoft created Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB (LTSC).

What is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB?

Officially, LTSB (Long-term Servicing Branch) is a specialized edition of Windows 10 Enterprise that promises the longest intervals between feature upgrades of any version of the operating system. It does deliver the same security upgrades that regular users receive monthly. However, when it comes to big feature updates, these only come once every 2 or 3 years. Because this means less disruption with rolling out updates within companies, businesses big and small should adopt Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB as their main supported OS.

How do I upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB?

Unfortunately enough, Microsoft states on their official forums that: Thus, in-place upgrades from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC are not possible.

As for upgrading Windows 10 LTSB itself, you can only upgrade from Enterprise LTSB 2016 to Enterprise LTSC 2019 and keep your programs and files. The old data will not be completely deleted.
