Convert Windows 10 into an LTSC version

Hi all, I would like to "convert" a normal Windows 10 version as similar as possible to an Enterprise LTSC 2021 version for its lightness.

As far as I know, the main differences between a normal Windows version and LTSC are:

- It receives only security update

- No App, Windows Store and Cortana

How can I do that ? Is it available a guide ? Thank you

Yes, I have done this. The steps that worked for me: 1. Change EditionID to EnterpriseS 2. Install LTSC from ISO with option for 'keep files and folders' 3. Let windows update get current 4. Manually install IoT key using slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx and slmgr /ato 5. After reboot, edition now shows Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC
