Industrial computer with Windows Pro or IoT? Select the operating system for your applications.

2025-09-02

Necesa industrial computers, based on Intel processors and available from JM elektronik, can run both Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. Choosing the right operating system is crucial, as it determines the reliability, life cycle and capabilities of the device. Both solutions are based on the same technology, but have been designed for different applications.

Why are there different versions of Windows?

Microsoft creates different versions of Windows to suit specific scenarios. Windows Home is designed for home use and offers only basic features. Windows Pro meets the needs of professionals and small businesses that require additional management and security tools. Windows Enterprise was created for large organisations where scalability and extensive protection mechanisms are paramount. Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC, on the other hand, is a system designed for specialised devices, such as industrial computers, which must operate stably for many years and in demanding conditions.

Windows 11 Pro – versatile and flexible

Windows 11 Pro is suitable for general-purpose computers. It allows you to work with a wide range of office and business applications. It offers frequent feature updates, giving users access to new features, although this can be risky in production environments. Each version of the system is covered by a three-year support cycle. Windows 11 Pro also provides robust security and management mechanisms that are well suited to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. An industrial computer with this system can serve as an operator station or a device for tasks supporting business processes.

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC – stability and security

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is designed for industrial computers that operate continuously and must be resistant to changing conditions. The system has a ten-year support cycle and does not enforce functional updates. It does not include the Microsoft Store or consumer applications, allowing it to operate in a secure configuration by default. It offers special features such as blocking the launch of unauthorised applications, disk write filtering, assigned access mode, and a personalised login process. An industrial computer running Windows IoT LTSC can be fully customised for specific tasks.

The system also supports advanced security mechanisms, including Secure Boot and system memory isolation.

Practical applications

Necesa industrial computers with Windows 11 Pro are best suited as flexible operator stations, devices supporting everyday operations, or terminals with access to business applications.

Necesa industrial computers with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC are a solution for environments that require long-term stability and security. Such computers are used in medical systems, industrial automation, self-service checkouts, information kiosks, monitoring systems, and continuous production lines. IoT LTSC also allows artificial intelligence models to be run directly on the device, which speeds up processes and reduces dependence on the cloud.

Summary

Necesa industrial computers can run on both Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. The choice depends on the nature of the project. If versatility and flexibility are key, Windows Pro is the better choice. However, if stability, security and long-term technical support are the most important factors, Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC is the optimal choice.

Thanks to the availability of both systems, Necesa industrial computers from JM elektronik can be perfectly tailored to specific requirements – from offices and retail to industry and medicine.
