Windows 11 image

[Skyet]

We have HP thin clients (model ELITE T755) and is wondering how to get access to a Windows 11 image.

if your T755  thinclients were not bought with windows 10 

then you will need to buy a upgrade to

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC direct from HP

To upgrade your HP Elite T755 thin client to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, you'll need to

 ensure your current operating system is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2016 or later,

or HP ThinPro 7.2 SP11 or later,

and then download and install the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise image from HP.com. 

The HP ThinUpdate app allows you to download system images and software add-ons from HP,

Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

• Check Current OS:

  Your HP Elite t755 thin client needs to be running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2016 or a later version, or HP ThinPro 7.2 SP11 or a later version to be eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise.
• Download the Image:

  Once you have the correct base operating system, you'll need to download the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise image from the HP website.

  To get an HP Windows 11 IoT Enterprise image,

  you can typically obtain it

  through Microsoft's Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC evaluation program

  or by contacting HP directly for their specific OEM images
• Installation:

  Follow the instructions provided by HP to install the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise image on your device.
• Hardware and Drivers:

  Be aware that systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers, software, or BIOS updates to take full advantage of Windows functionality.

Great question and answer!  Would this apply to any HP Thin Client purchased with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC?  For example, I have the Hp Pro t550.  Thanks!

currently Microsoft does not differentiate between windows 10/11 serial number activation they are interchangeable

the main issue with your model thinclient,  has HP tested and approved it for win 11? if not then there is no official win 11 ISO image for you to download that will self activate 

if not then your the guineapig on OS/Drivers validation the HP win 11 "IOT"  image should install but i can't guarantee it will

using a Retail or LTSC "IOT" Win 11 image or a OEM version all of which use a serial for activation should also work depending on the clients installed ram/storage space
