  • IoT Enterprise = LTSC + Embedded management + OEM licensing + lockdown features.

  • Enterprise (standard) = full feature set for managed IT environments with ongoing upgrades and integration with Microsoft 365 E3/E5.

  • Pro = capable, but lacks enterprise-level lockdown and long-term servicing.
