Windows 11 IOT Enterprise (NOT LTSC) Should i use this?

Hi All

Ive just picked up a used 11th Gen NUC. it was advertised with no SSD and no OS, I went to install windows 11 on it using the usb created with the "media creation tool", and i think i clicked "i dont have a license key" box (i wondered if was already actived) and IOT enterprise came up as the only option when installing. I installed it, everything went fine and its activated and all seems well. i'm assuming it is licensed on a hardware level, as there was no connection to the internet at this time.

Presumably i could "enter a new product key" pop in a windows 11 pro key, and switch to that. but can i just carry on with IOT Enterprise? some googling suggests its the same as Windows 11 Enterprise, but with different licensing restrictions for IOT. It doesnt appear to be the LTSC version from what i can tell. and Enterprise is largely the same as 11 pro.

So should i not worry about it and just carry on?

The purpose of this machine is the "family everyday PC" Kids will use it for homework etc. Me and wife will all have accounts etc.

Thanks

Well I can't for the life of me get it to connect to my unraid server. I even managed to get Linux mint to connect, and I'm a proper Linux noob.

I hate networking at the best of times, but this is proper doing my head in

EDIT, never mind. Sorted the network issue i think
