Hi,

I have a set of Industrial Control System devices that are running Windows 10 [somehting] Build 1809 LTSC. On-screen [something] = 'Enterprise' but I have colleagues swearing bling it's 'IOT Enterprise' .

Functionally for me, it's a non-issue right now, but it could become one later, plus I need to get my documentation for the build of this system right...

ANy help massively appreciated!

    There is a marketing versus product naming sanfu that Microsoft created.

    Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019.

    I also was passed this by a friend offline - check the registry key:

    Computer\HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion:EditionID

    Thanks to all for your answers!
