Microsoft has released a new LTS release of Windows 11 IoT Enterprise that can be installed on more devices. The number of packages that can be removed increases, making the system more attractive for small devices.
The new Windows 11 IoT Enterprise is a Long-term Servicing Channel release that is released every three years and ten years is supported. The new IoT operating system should resemble the UI of normal Windows 11 more. This includes a taskbar menu and tabs in Explorer. Microsoft has also built more accessibility features into the OS, such as system-wide subtitles and voice support.
Microsoft says it has changed the hardware requirements. The new minimum system requirements are that a device must have 2GB of memory. A TPM is optional, but Microsoft says it's preferable to have one anyway. By lowering the system requirements, Microsoft says the OS will be usable on many more devices.
Other changes include making it possible to run x86 applications when running the OS on a device with an Arm processor . It will also be possible for other devices to connect wirelessly to devices running Windows 11 IoT. Microsoft has also adjusted many security features. For example, there will be a separate app, Windows Security, in which administrators can manage virus scanners and firewalls.
