I'm having trouble getting W10 1809 Ent LTSC to update to 21H1.
via GPO, I have "Select the target Feature Update versions" set to 21H1.
However, when you run Windows update, it says it's all up to date.

    Hi @oQcS3JJ2xdjHwF67 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    How do you upgrade/change W10 Ent LTSC 1809 to W10 Ent Semi-Annual Channel (SAC)?

    Please see this official document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-10-upgrade-paths

    As for 21H1, It does not update itself indicating that your environment is not currently eligible for 21H1.
    See this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5000736-featured-update-to-windows-10-version-21h1-by-using-an-enablement-package-75a01e67-3b5f-4677-8efe-42852e41c7cf

    Best regards,
    Seeya

    How do you upgrade/change W10 Ent LTSC 1809 to W10 Ent Semi-Annual Channel (SAC)? Seems possible, per Microsoft: ""During the life of a LTSC release, you can upgrade your devices to the next or latest LTSC release free of charge using an in-place upgrade, or to any currently supported release of Windows 10."

    Hello @oQcS3JJ2xdjHwF67

    LTSC doesn´t receive updates and features the same way as other versions.

    As specificed in the next article:
    "Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle"

    Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/#:~:text=Feature%20updates%20are%20offered%20in,a%2010%2Dyear%20life%20cycle.

    Hope this helps with your query,
