The selection of a Windows 10 edition for PXI controllers often depends on the release timing and system requirements. Editions such as Windows 10 Pro, IoT Enterprise, and LTSC are typically released in that order. Later editions like LTSC are optimized for long-term stability and minimal updates, making them ideal for embedded and industrial systems.
In the early stages of PXI controller deployment, Windows 10 Pro is often chosen because:
- It offers faster access to new features and updates, which is advantageous during development, testing, and initial rollout.
- It is more readily available and widely supported across hardware platforms.
- LTSC editions have a different release cadence and licensing model, which can delay their availability for new PXI hardware.
Therefore, Windows 10 Pro is commonly adopted first, with a transition to LTSC considered later for long-term, stable operation in production environments.
