LTSC eliminates so many antifeatures present in 11 and 10 Home, and also solves the problem of the EOL for 10 next year - Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is good through 2031. Grab the "en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f" ISO, sha1 begins 76c3c10e, from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 (Note that you have to set your user agent to something other than Windows.) Run the activation script from Github: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts And enjoy a Windows that feels like your own PC again, not Microsoft's. I have to run a number of CAD programs and proprietary IDEs in a Win10 VM, this is the only way it's usable for me.
In Windows 11 24H2 hoards 8.63 GB of junk you can't delete
I upgraded my Windows 7 to 10 (due to Chrome-based browsers weren't being updated anymore for Windows 7, and there was the WebP exploit) using DISM, and I learn that you can also upgrade Windows 10 to Enterprise, which is a little less car-salesman-ly than Pro (no web stuff on the Start Menu/search for example): https://woshub.com/upgrade-windows-10-edition-without-reinst... On this Windows edition I haven't seen any nudges to upgrade to 11. There's even a "curl $URL | sh"-esque command to get Windows activated, hosted on Microsoft's own Github: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
In Microsoft Issues New Warning for 70% of All Windows Users
