About the Windows 10 LTSC 2021 recovery image for SVR appliances

2025-08-29

The Windows 10 LTSC 2021 recovery image is suitable for all Streamvault™ SVR appliances that include a Windows 10 LTSC 2021 license. The image can also be used with SVA appliances.

Note the following about this recovery image:

This image is available in .iso format for Security Center versions 5.9 to 5.13.
For systems with new image versions that include the Streamvault service (10.2021.2), this is the recommended recovery image.
For systems with legacy image versions that do not support the Streamvault service (0012.2.x), manufactured before January 2025, this recovery image is also an optional download.
CAUTION:
- By default, if you restore this image, your system will have a stricter hardening profile than the legacy image. To match the hardening of the legacy image, select the Microsoft (only) hardening profile on the Security page of the SV Control Panel.
- Your system must be online when re-imaging. Otherwise, Windows will not reactivate correctly.
