Where scenarios do require 10 years of support, we have found in our conversations that these needs are often better solved with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. With the fast and increasing pace of technological change, it is a challenge to get the up-to-date experience customers expect when using a decade-old product. Through in-depth conversations with customers, we have found that many who previously installed an LTSC version for information worker desktops have found that they do not require the full year lifecycle. Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is meant for specialty devices and scenarios that simply cannot accept changes or connect to the cloud, but still require a desktop experience: regulated devices that cannot accept feature updates for years at a time, process control devices on the manufacturing floor that never touch the internet, and specialty systems that must stay locked in time and require a long-term support channel. This change addresses the needs of the same regulated and restricted scenarios and devices. Windows 10 Client LTSC will change to a 5-year lifecycle, aligning with the changes to the next perpetual version of Office. Each of these products was designed to have a year support lifecycle, as outlined in our lifecycle documentation. Semi-Annual Channel versions of Windows, such as version, version, and version 20H2, are released twice per year. Windows 10 introduced Windows as a service, a method of continually providing new features and capabilities through regular feature updates.
