Is it possible to Create Backup of all Installed Apps in Windows 11 and Load it in Windows 11 Clean Installation?

Is there any software for this?

I don't mean Acronis True Image (Windows 11 System Backup).

I'm asking because i want to install Windows 11 LTSC instead Pro. I don't want to install all Apps again in Windows 11 Clean Installation.

Most applications are transferred and installed, making them ready-to-use on the new PC. 
So there’s no need to go hunting for old CDs, previously downloaded programs, serial numbers, or license codes!

Windows LTSC is considered by Microsoft to be a completely different family of product unlike Win 11 Home and Pro (as one example) which is considered to be in the same family.

No upgrade path from Pro to LTSC exists.

As stated, there is no upgrade path. You must clean install. End of story no matter what anyone else may tell you. :-)

This worked for 23h2 to ltsc 2024, but if you're on 25h2 i dont know if you can go to ltsc 2024...


install 23H2, edit the reg:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Edit > String Value "EditionID"

Value = IoTEnterpriseS

Edit > String Value "ProductName"

Value = Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024

Then upgrade to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2

You can try uninstalling the enablement package to go back to 24h2 then try to “upgrade” to 2024 ltsc
