The third advantage of using Microsoft Windows IoT 10 Enterprise is that it comes with 10 years of windows OS support via the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), as well as a 10 to 15-year life cycle. This is very different from Windows 10 Pro, which has a life cycle of two to three years and a support cycle of 18 to 30 months. So, for long-term support, you should definitely configure a system with Windows IoT instead of the regular Windows 10 Pro OS.
