YouTube Removes Windows 11 Bypass Tutorials, Claims 'Risk of Physical Harm'

Will this work on a version which is part of LTSC or IoT or whatever factory debloated version microsoft makes? As in, will the upgraded version preserve the IoT or LTSC designation and “debloatedness”?

I've used the command with a Win11 LTSC/IoT 24H2 ISO. I upgraded Win10 LTSC/IoT 21H2 to Win11 24H2 LTSC/IoT. I've done this on two old notebooks, a Dell Core2Duo and a Thinkpad T430.

Can I modify the command to go from regular windows 10 to debloated windows 11? Do I just need debloated ISO for that to work automatically?

I don't know yet. I've got a Win10 EDU I'm going to try to upgrade to Win11 IOT but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. It's in place doing some NAS duty atm.

The command doesn't ask any questions so there's no opportunity to tweak it. I'm getting a recovery plan in place before I pull the trigger on mine.

edit: I might also go another way. There are some other setup methods that might be a better fit for cross-upgrading Windows types. I'm actively investigating but it may be a month before I'm in a position to try them out.

I setup a virtual Win10 edu to try and convert to Win11 LTSC/IoT. The only option setup gave me was to wipe out my apps and keep my personal files. That's what it did.

So the command doesn't offer much improvement over a wipe and a reload. Sorry I don't have better news.

What's the benefit of upgrading from W10 IoT to W11 IoT?

Any specific features?

W10 IoT gets support until 2032 I believe.

Mostly to see what works. In this case tho I've found some remote management on workgroup PCs works better when it's Win11->Win11 (instead of Win10->Win11).

ex: With Win10->Win11 I get a fair number of crashes when remotely viewing the event log mmc.
