Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 Upgrade (Perpetual) [Commercial]

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 builds on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, adding premium features such as advanced protection against modern security threats and comprehensive device management, app management, and control capabilities.

Get an even higher level of System Management Mode (SMM) Firmware Protection that goes beyond checking the OS memory and secrets to other resources like registers and IO. With this improvement, the OS can detect a higher level of SMM compliance, enabling devices to be even more hardened against SMM exploits and vulnerabilities.

BitLocker and Mobile Device Management (MDM) with Azure Active Directory work together to protect your devices from accidental password disclosure. Now, a new key-rolling feature securely rotates recovery passwords on MDM-managed devices. The feature is activated whenever Microsoft Intune/MDM tools or a recovery password is used to unlock a BitLocker protected drive. As a result, the recovery password will be better protected when users manually unlock a BitLocker drive.

IT admins can configure devices with advanced web protection that enables them to define allow and deny lists for specific URL’s and IP addresses. Controls have been extended to protection from ransomware, credential misuse, and attacks that are transmitted through removable storage.

With the LTSC servicing model, customers can delay receiving feature updates and instead only receive monthly quality updates on devices. Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle.
