Currently we use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 on MT 46 Thin Client & HP Elite mt645 G7 Mobile Thin Client (74M80AA).
Do we have Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC operating system available for these Thin Client models and has this Windows 11 OS been tested & approved by HP & will it activate just like Windows 10 or that would require a new activation key, or we should install an updated Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC version? If yes which version will be the best to upgrade to? Thanks

keep in mind that thinclients from HP are bios locked from activating any other OS's except for the specific OS version they were shipped with or upgraded to using a official HP oem upgrader
Yes, you can upgrade from Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. However, the upgrade process is not done through Windows Update. You will need to perform a clean installation of Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
For the upgrade, you will need a valid Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC license key.
Purchasing a new license key for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC will allow you to activate and use the new version on your device.
The license key for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is specific to that version and does not allow you to switch to the non-LTSC version. If you wish to switch to a different version, you would need to purchase the appropriate license key for that version.
