Issue using Windows 11 IoT Enterprise Product Key

Question

My company has received a testing product key for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, but I cannot use the key during the installation process for Windows 11. I am using a base Windows 11 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 and I can activate the key normally after the installation process. However, I cannot use the key at the beginning of the installation process. Do I need a different ISO to use the product key during installation?

Answer 1

Dear frosty,

The download link you are using is not for the IoT version of Windows 11 Enterprise. The installation media / download for the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is only available from the secured Microsoft OEM website and not publicly available. There are in fact 2 portals: The GA/CBB/SAC version is available on the DPC portal: https://devicepartner.microsoft.com/en-us/

but the LTSC version is still in Beta preview and can only be downloaded through the Microsoft collaborate website.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

To add on to martin's response. If you have Visual Studio subscription, you can download a Windows 11 IoT Enterprise ISO from there.
