To disable Internet Explorer 11 using group policy

Question

I am planning to disable Internet Explorer using the group policy at the following URL
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-disable-ie11

I am aware that the Windows server version needs to be KB4601318 or higher as mentioned in the Prerequisites.
My question is, do I also need to update the version of Windows 10, the client to which I will distribute the group policy, to 1909 or higher?

Windows updates

Windows 10, version 2004; Windows Server version 2004; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows Server version 20H2: KB4598291 or later

Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB: KB4601331 or later

As a clarification, You can see that Windows 10 is included as the "LTSC" versions, in particular because these versions are only updated one in long periods, and Windows 10 standard should be allowed to receive frequent updates, and thus be already over the level requiered.

Hope this helps with your query,
