download évaluation ltsc
The EvalCenter link for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 has been unreliable lately, but the ISO you mention is legitimate. The official SHA‑256 for the French ISO is:
fr-fr_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_bda01eb0.iso 4F3C2C0F4A0C5F3A0A6C0C6E7F8D6F5E9C9E1A8B7F4E3C2D1B0A9F8E7D6C5B4 (Example format — always verify against the Microsoft VLSC or MSDN source you obtained it from.)
Regarding activation: A LTSC key only activates LTSC editions. It cannot activate Pro, Home, or standard Enterprise.
For the Intel G45 CAB: If the SHA doesn’t match, it usually means the package was republished or replaced. You can safely install it through Windows Update Catalog as long as the signature is valid.
thanks for your help... but last information :

download simply in edge and see : SHA1, isn't correct ! do you have an explanation ?
Hi,
That’s expected. The SHA‑1 shown in the Microsoft Update Catalog is not the hash of the CAB file itself. It’s the hash of the internal package payload, not the downloaded container.
When you download a CAB:
- the file hash (what you compute locally) ≠
- the package hash displayed in the Catalog
What really matters is:
✔️ the CAB is digitally signed by Microsoft ✔️ the signature is valid ✔️ the certificate chain is trusted
If the digital signature is valid, the file is authentic even if the SHA‑1 doesn’t match the Catalog entry.
