Can I tell the difference between Windows 10 IOT Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise from the 'About' screen?

Question

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!

Answer 1

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:
