LTSC is what Pro should have been. I love LTSC, it’s clean, it’s solid, the only updates you get are the ones that are actually beneficial (security updates)
Running LTSC for one Year now, playing games from steam and uplay without any issues. Light PowerShell usage - had no problem. Virtual machines with VirtualBox - had no Problem. This is the successor to Windows 7 for me.
I agree. After almost 3 years of win 10 pro usage, I grew tired of the sluggishness and bloatware in 2020. I've used windows ltsc for over a year now, and love it.
There are some things that I noticed after using both W10 Pro 22H2, Home 22H2 and Enterprise LTSC 21H2 for a couple of years was that the Pro and Home version both became sluggish after about a month of usage, but the same principles did not apply to the LTSC version. The smoothness is quite similar across all versions, though. The responsiveness, however, is much MUCH better in the LTSC version. Plus, the low resource consumption and the simplicity of it massively improved the overall experience, both in gaming and in casual use like watching UA-cam and do office works. Moreover, no bloatware included! Nice!
Amazingly, this LTSC version saved my Warzone performance. I've been struggling with low FPS issues playing Warzone for a long time now. Today, I decided to give it a go and MAN, it is smooth. I was using Ghost Spectre's Superlite version before trying this. Now, i'm using Windows 10 LTSC (1809) from 2018. It is the best Windows i've ever used, period.
Thank you for introducing this lovely version of OS to me. Been using this lightweight and fast windows 10 version since last year. I haven't faced a single bit of problem yet, even though as a professional graphic designer photoshop, illustrator, indesign, after effects and blender are always kept running. I cannot believe why people are still using windows pro when this thing exists. It took a long time to quit windows 7 (It will always be my favorite OS) as i couldn't find similar but updated alternative OS. Windows 10 LTSC is my second the most favorite operating system.
I use ltsc for everyday usage and i love it. I am not a gamer but i use it for office...it is incredible fast and all my drivers work flowless. I had before windows 10 pro and the updates just ruin my life...bad updates broke my pc several times and sometimes just remaines stuck. Now i am happy and i recomand it. I bought a license code from ebay...just 5 $
We use LTSC for machines configured as an "appliance." For example, an automation system that runs only a single program 24/7. We don't need (or want) new features.
A lot of people don't know what ltsc is so maybe a good explainer. It's like centos, older stable packages, really long support. Does not have feature updates. Etc. Maybe a good visual graph would be good.
If you want to to keep a computer running that can't upgrade to 11 after extended support ends for regular 10 versions and you don't want to try Linux. This would be your best option then.
I used linux for 2 years and finding this is what finally made me switch back to Windows, stuff like privacy will never be as good as Linux but with some telemetry removal scripts it's good enough.
Like you said Chris this is what Windows-10 should been as the normal paid version. Then have a FREE VERSION with the adverts/adware like you have in normal Windows-10 at the moment, this could be used for gaming and people who just like shopping :-)
So true, but even this version of Windows 10 is infested with telemetry and tracking. It isn't as bad, but it is still there. Most don't realize MS has patched Windows 7 with telemetry as well, so honestly there isn't a true "clean" version of Windows in existence.
@@tldmimikyu5779 -- actually... well, not *practically* usable. But I keep a bootable version on a SSD. Boots fast and fast to use. I keep it for a few apps and rainy, nostalgic days... But yea -- day -to -day usage? No way. Almost zero of current-day software will install on it.
About drivers, it's the first thing I always completely disable, having drivers installed from Microsoft update, as they're usually outdated, buggy and problematic. I remember getting a Nvidia driver shoved onto my system once constantly and when rebooting the screen wouldn't show. Removed it in safe mode, booted back in normal mode and guess what...the same driver was installed again, reboot no screen, Microsoft recommending and pushing drivers? No thanks!
The only appealing thing about Windows Enterprise LTSC is it's end of life for support, which is 2035. If they don't extend Windows 10 support, than a lot of people are going to try and move onto LTSC.
"Don't ever do this!"...unless you know what you're doing. ;-) I only have a Win10 Pro install for things that NEED Win10, otherwise, I'm sticking with Win7 Ultimate for any Windows needs...even past EoL.
The timing of this video is great. Lately I've been thinking about checking out the LTSC further. I didn't realize the licensing was such a headache. I thought I could just buy a key and go like Pro and Home. I also didn't think about the trouble LTSC would have with new hardware, but that makes a lot of sense.
@@tldmimikyu5779 Don't use a LTSC Evaluation ISO. These are different from regular Eval ISOs in that you CANNOT activate them. You will HAVE to install a non-eval ISO if you ever want to activate it.
I don't install or upgrade OSs for fun, it's actually quite a headache for me just to keep my 2 home computers set up the way I want and running different Windows for the different usages I give it: general usage, productivity, gaming, one just for Flight Simulator, one just for tinkering with music production . In fact, I used Windows XP until 2015 because it still did most of the stuff I wanted it to do without me having to go through the trouble of upgrading everything to run on Windows 7. I've been using Windows 7 ever since but now I feel I'll be forced to upgrade everything again to run on Windows 10, especially for things that will make full usage of DirectX12 Ultimate components and also considering that some stuff is no longer supported or runs very poorly on Win7 if at all... so next year is probably the time to dive deep into Win10, hence the curiosity about all the Windows 10 versions and what LTSC was really like.
@@insitakaya1672 Hey, no and people use google anyway, just like any big companies they spy on people, surprise? probadly not, should you care? unless your a criminal, no, Move on.
Well, there are questions... Not much actual data on how much RAM does this version of windows uses, what services are running? What is in a task scheduler by default? Beside obviously cleaner UI, it is unclear how much this windows actually lighter than regular. The internet connection can also be used to benchmark this, sometimes win-10 starts much longer when there is no internet connection. Probably it is trying to reach MS servers and delays the process.
It runs about 30 less processes, the ISO is about 1 GB lighter (3.8 vs 4.8GB), and overall about a 20% performance increase, but mileage varies depending on the system.
@@ChrisTitusTech I thought that this was one of the most important points of LTSC and was surprisingly not mentioned in the video... Still, thx 4 the video... 👍😎
This pirate scare is really BS, you can get a original pro image from MSFT and than use some small tools to convert it to Volume/KMS and activate it. if you do or you don't is between you and your sense of morality. Just know that if you do, then get the original images form MSFT and don't go searching the pirate bay for "pre activated" images, why take the risk if you can get the ISO's from the original source.
I tried PRO and LTSC. I prefer with LTSC for the cleaner look. I have SSD and the performance it's exactly the same on both but LTSC consumes about 500 MB less RAM and 5 GB less HDD because it doesn't have Cortana, Edge, Store, and all that extra crap. I don't use any of that shit and I don't want to be bother with buggy updates so this OS it's just fine for me. :)
The Just A Moment thing that comes up in between options, really makes me crazy. Its like an indicator that a crappy update is on its way, and one needs to wait for it to do its thing. Its scary.
It would be great to make a video that takes windows home or pro and rips out everything except what's in enterprise 10 ltsc. Building a custom install iso.
For someone who does everything possible to avoid Cortana, M$ store and all the other crap, this is a gods gift to humanity. (Better still, is to avoid Windows altogether and go with a Linux distribution... unless one has locked oneself in with M$ Windows-only software... then... good luck! )
FYI you don't actually need to pirate LTSC Windows if you want to use it for free. Microsoft offers evaluation ISOs from their website. These can then be changed to a non-evaluation version, and there are plenty of ways to "activate" that without actually changing anything on the Windows installation itself. Like, you can run a KMS server on a separate computer. Whether the KMS server is legitimate, or an emulator, that's up to your conscience, but it's definitely an option.
Few weeks ago i installed windows 10 21h2 enterprise ltsc version , after successful installation i tried to activate it with kms and hwid but both the methods failed to activate🥴 Do you know any method to activate ltsc version?
Microsoft is just messing up the meaning of words , because LTSC is what actually PRO should be. Because for them PRO means throw as much garbage and obsolete features as you can in the OS and name them "features". One "problem" you mentioned for the hardware support or said otherwise OS integrated drivers is not a problem , because in the moment I plug the internet cable it`s downloading them trough Windows update. For me that is actually good , because it`s going to install only the once I need. As a gamer I don`t have any problems with any of my games. All of them are running much better than with the cluttered Pro version.
My university uses LTSC Windows and I think it's much better than the standard Windows 10. But Linux is Linux and it's not worth it for me to switch to LTSC.
Is there telemetry on this os?I assume you can use conventional methods to remove it?Can update be permanently disable i.e. disable update service?Also there is still about 80 processes running?I thought this was light?
After updates broke my son's laptop, Windows 10 should be called the Godzilla edition...because everything breaks. All versions of 10 need to be scrapped. 10 can no longer be trusted. It seems the best version was 7 :)
@@dank9561 a lot of that older stuff may run fine under WINE these days. Though it may require some advanced tweaking of settings. What is this major corp going to do when support for7 is dropped soon?
I'm not a huge fan of 2019 just yet, I'll stick to my Windows Server 2016 for a bit more. I generally like to give these OS's at least a couple years to mature.
@@ChrisTitusTech Windows Server 2019 is a surprisingly good OS as a desktop workstation, even for games. It is now heavily used in VDI environments as it is not that different that 2016 (and Windows 10) and it is not bloated.
I wouldn't mind the LTSC branch but I doubt it'd work out for me from a financial perspective. Had to reset Win10Pro hours ago because it kept crashing on me when playing games or even going to the login screen. Didn't expect 1903 to be that painfun 😢
I use LTSC on my laptops, my main pc is my gaming rig, it has win 10 pro, but i don't game on my laptop, so LTSC all the way, yes my laptop is a POS, not a Point Of Sale, the other acronim :p it has a celeron N4000 and 4gb of ram, win 10 home CHUGS on it, but LTSC? Super fast and smooth, i use this thing mostly to browse the internet, type an email and do some things in word, and that's it. LTSC is superstable, it uses around 1.5gb of ram, and that is with all my apps installed, which is honestly great! It leaves me with 2.5gb of ram to do whatever! And 2 cores is all LTSC needs, i like it! I found a way to add the store and the xbox services to LTSC, so, all the drawbacks can be solved by adding the store and xbox services yourself, and it will still be a clean os because it doesn't install all those "recommended" apps, i deleted the store again because i don't need it on my cr4ppy laptop.
@@freedomfighter5222 i downloaded the package a long time ago, i don't remember where exactly, but i still have it, i can upload it to my mega account, is there a way i can contact you?
I wanna know just one thing, how small (Bloated) is this "Out of the box" with a fresh install? Most of the time it exceeds 10-12GB easily. I wanna go minimalistic and stay below 5GB OS only, is that possible in 2019?
Robbert Lucassen windows 10 ltsc is 8 gb with fresh install, this version of windows does not have: cortana, microsoft store, edge browser (it has only internet explorer), it does not have image viewer, is more lighter than windows 7 (i am typing from windows 10 ltsc and is the more stable version of windows)
I feel so bad for windows developers that I, an avid linux user who hates windows, used an extra laptop that I have laying around to throw windows 10 on it and joined the insider "fast" program to help them test their shit and give them feedback. 😂 They need to go back to windows 7's source code and start from there. Windows 10 has been a disaster for them.
Especially when u need virtualbox to run some serious MS software, this is the bomb! There's many torrents of LTSC with an option to automatically KMS activate
nowadays pirated OS doesn't exists anymore, just patches/cracks, there's very less little chance you get backdoors with cracks, other than the backdoors that are installed into windows by Microsoft
Thank you for making this video. 👍 We use Windows 10 Pro on our office PC's as well as some POS machines...Linux is not an option as the programs are made for Windows but Home and Pro editions are full of junk some updates break stuff. Got few of the POS machines pre-installed with Windows 10 LTSC and runs so smooth and fast even on low spec systems. It is the best solution for anyone looking for fast, bloat free Windows.
It is possible to install the store if you go into developer mode. I needed some themes. I am enjoying ltsc as my second OS. Some games just need windows. I get tired of fixing games when a Proton update comes along and something breaks. Linux is great for most games but like I said there are a few that just need more attention. I would rather just have it in a VM for games instead of dual booting but I have never been able to successfully play certain games consistently in a VM.
after going into developer mode where do I go to get microsfot store? i desperately need to get it so adobe XD can be compatible with windows for my business
I have a question, i i download windows 10 from microsoft website, then i make a bootable usb, meanwhile i own a windows 10 pro key, is that considered as a pirated software? Does it have any backdoor?
the funny thing is if MS allowed an easy acquiring of this LTSC version I might not have jumped over to linux. but now I'm using POP_OS with WIN10 in a VM on top and that's it I'm done. However, using LTSC for vm use might be interesting since I am committed to never letting windows touch the bare metal of any new install I do for myself.
tnx so much for the video. Could you refer me to a guide or make one yourself or a video about what packeges can be removed from LTSC iso without hearting the os itself, please? tnx againe ...
I want to install LTSC on an old laptop and use Microsoft 365 on it. How much of a pain is it to get M365 (specifically OneDrive sync and Word/Excel) working on it?
An OS that gets rid of the Microsoft 3rd-Party DRMs, or stops you using games that depend on them? This OS is automatically %300 better! So worth the price and licenses.
I'm getting a blue screen of death when i try to install and boot in to the LTSC on an external ssd, do you guys know any solutions? Or is it not possible to install it as a Windows Go device?
Chris, Thank you for making this video and really giving a great explanation of what Windows 10 LTSB/C is. I grew up using Windows for school as well as research. My first computer was an IBM THINKPAD, which ran Windows 3.1. As you can imagine, I "bit the bullet" and upgraded to Windows 10 because the majority of people & organizations use Windows. Plus, I picked up Adobe Photoshop, which I know runs on Mac. But cannot justify buying one for a few Gs, when Windows based laptops are cheaper and are basically the same except for the OS. My main concern is with security. As you probably know, a few years ago, on July 17, 2014, Microsoft laid off their entire software development team. So, really, just how secure and reliable is Windows 10 compared to XP/Vists/7? Anyway, despite its security and privacy (which, ty for making those videos to address those) issues Windows 10 LTSC will be my OS of choice.
So . . . is this better than the customized Win10 iso you recently showcased? And faster? And activateable for about $20? And repeatedly ruled perfectly legal in the US and the EU? What's the catch?
I have win 10 LTSB. ( Probably really LTSC now after the updates.) I'd never use the Microsoft Store for games but can confirm that my games run perfectly well on it. Most of my games are on Steam and there are no issues whatsoever. I am still cautious about spying and data collection , maybe without cause now, but having previously had Win 10 pro it has made me a little paranoid i suppose. Having said all that though, Win 10 LTSB is still only used for pure gaming. I have no email on it and only have a browser to access mods for my games. Literally everything else I do on a PC is done on Linux. I obtained the LTSB iso directly from Microsoft and activated it with Microsoft Toolkit. I was amazed it activated but it did. The best of both worlds. I paid for the pro version at the time so don't feel the slightest bit shady about using the Toolkit. LTSB(C) is the version we ALL should have been given access to at the outset.
LTSC Is the LTS Windows with a minimal interface focused on security and stability. You will get bug fixes and security updates but no new features. If you miss them, stay on stock Windows. You can buy a ten PC volume licence, which works well for most people. It can be installed on all your home and work PCs. No muss, no fuss. Probably the best version of Windows 10 most people don’t know about.
Cause this version nulls most their efforts to exploit, spy on you and farm your data. they want you to use the windows 10 they made for you, to become their sucker
Is it possible to use this as a gaming station, all I need to install this TeamSpeak and Steam it would not do anything else. I have a secondary machine that I use as my daily driver and it would even get the TeamSpeak and steam installer along with any drivers if necessary. " I would like to see how many processes run after install " The first release of Windows 10 that I got only ran 64 processes, now I can't get it under a 120+ no matter what I do.
Technically, Yes. However, milage will vary as some games require the Microsoft Store so you need to install it via PowerShell which I don't recommend.,
@Deon Denis it's nice, as any updates are based on Debian and very stable. Also I like the UI of XFCE as a DE too, coming off of Ubuntu Mate initially b4 I threw my SSD w windows on it aside
You guys and your backdoors. Such scaremongering and bullshit being tossed about. If you're not doing anything illegal, no amount of third-party spying will ever affect you.
From a business perspective, this version makes complete sense. Those who simply can't afford the downtime of Windows 10 updates, with its unpredictable glitches and would probably like their staff to do some work rather than play silly games. From the watch every penny home user, it's very pricey! Putting on my pirate's hat for a moment, I suspect it would be possible to run some version of Linux with Virtualbox, then install this evaluation version of Windows 10 in Virtualbox and take a snapshot. Every 90 days roll back to the snapshot.
They will have seen past that one. I tried it on a Win7 VM years ago and it didn't work so I'd doubt that they'd fall for in on a Win10 limited time version. I was disappointed with the Win7 thing as I'd spent a bit of time setting it up as a scam-baiting honey-pot and bear trap.
@@dingokidneys Dingo Kidneys Give it another go, it does work. You can use either a genuine paid-for version of Windows or you can download directly from Microsoft, free 90-day developer versions of Windows from here. developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ When you upgrade Virtualbox it often breaks a Windows VM as it sees it as a hardware change, so if you intend to keep a Windows VM in use it's better to use an older version of Virtualbox that has maxed out on its development cycle. That way it will remain stable. Very handy if you're using Linux and you buy a new unsupported printer. You can use a Windows VM as a print server.
Well for the store, you can actually install that on ltsc, but this time, no auto installs which is dumb on home and pro install. I can actually play gears of war on ltsc just fine.

The timing of this video is great. Lately I've been thinking about checking out the LTSC further.
I didn't realize the licensing was such a headache. I thought I could just buy a key and go like Pro and Home. I also didn't think about the trouble LTSC would have with new hardware, but that makes a lot of sense.
I said that I'd never use W10, changed my mind with W10 LTSC and Shut up 10

@@tldmimikyu5779 Don't use a LTSC Evaluation ISO. These are different from regular Eval ISOs in that you CANNOT activate them. You will HAVE to install a non-eval ISO if you ever want to activate it.
I don't install or upgrade OSs for fun, it's actually quite a headache for me just to keep my 2 home computers set up the way I want and running different Windows for the different usages I give it: general usage, productivity, gaming, one just for Flight Simulator, one just for tinkering with music production .
In fact, I used Windows XP until 2015 because it still did most of the stuff I wanted it to do without me having to go through the trouble of upgrading everything to run on Windows 7.
I've been using Windows 7 ever since but now I feel I'll be forced to upgrade everything again to run on Windows 10, especially for things that will make full usage of DirectX12 Ultimate components and also considering that some stuff is no longer supported or runs very poorly on Win7 if at all... so next year is probably the time to dive deep into Win10, hence the curiosity about all the Windows 10 versions and what LTSC was really like.
Only problem in Windows is "the updates" specially 2019 updates.
So you don't care about privacy?
Don't download them. I haven't downloaded any updates since like Auguest and my computer hasn't blown up or a anything

Well, there are questions... Not much actual data on how much RAM does this version of windows uses, what services are running? What is in a task scheduler by default?
Beside obviously cleaner UI, it is unclear how much this windows actually lighter than regular.
The internet connection can also be used to benchmark this, sometimes win-10 starts much longer when there is no internet connection. Probably it is trying to reach MS servers and delays the process.
It runs about 30 less processes, the ISO is about 1 GB lighter (3.8 vs 4.8GB), and overall about a 20% performance increase, but mileage varies depending on the system.
@@ChrisTitusTech I thought that this was one of the most important points of LTSC and was surprisingly not mentioned in the video... Still, thx 4 the video... 👍😎
This pirate scare is really BS, you can get a original pro image from MSFT and than use some small tools to convert it to Volume/KMS and activate it.
if you do or you don't is between you and your sense of morality.
Just know that if you do, then get the original images form MSFT and don't go searching the pirate bay for "pre activated" images, why take the risk if you can get the ISO's from the original source.
I tried PRO and LTSC. I prefer with LTSC for the cleaner look. I have SSD and the performance it's exactly the same on both but LTSC consumes about 500 MB less RAM and 5 GB less HDD because it doesn't have Cortana, Edge, Store, and all that extra crap. I don't use any of that shit and I don't want to be bother with buggy updates so this OS it's just fine for me. :)
is it also good for gaming?
The Just A Moment thing that comes up in between options, really makes me crazy. Its like an indicator that a crappy update is on its way, and one needs to wait for it to do its thing. Its scary.
This is how I used to manage my 98 and XP computers, format the boot drive to nuke the bloat any time I noticed it and get maximum gaming performance
It would be great to make a video that takes windows home or pro and rips out everything except what's in enterprise 10 ltsc. Building a custom install iso.
For someone who does everything possible to avoid Cortana, M$ store and all the other crap, this is a gods gift to humanity.
(Better still, is to avoid Windows altogether and go with a Linux distribution... unless one has locked oneself in with M$ Windows-only software... then... good luck! )

FYI you don't actually need to pirate LTSC Windows if you want to use it for free. Microsoft offers evaluation ISOs from their website. These can then be changed to a non-evaluation version, and there are plenty of ways to "activate" that without actually changing anything on the Windows installation itself. Like, you can run a KMS server on a separate computer. Whether the KMS server is legitimate, or an emulator, that's up to your conscience, but it's definitely an option.
Few weeks ago i installed windows 10 21h2 enterprise ltsc version , after successful installation i tried to activate it with kms and hwid but both the methods failed to activate🥴
Do you know any method to activate ltsc version?
did u figure it out?@@vaskarchandradas3565
Alongside OpenShell, this sounds quite lovely.
300 bucks? No thank you, i will switch to the penguin.
My laptop is almost 10 years old. It runs great on windows 10 ltsc. Not so well on Windows 10 pro with all the bloatware.
Microsoft is just messing up the meaning of words , because LTSC is what actually PRO should be. Because for them PRO means throw as much garbage and obsolete features as you can in the OS and name them "features". One "problem" you mentioned for the hardware support or said otherwise OS integrated drivers is not a problem , because in the moment I plug the internet cable it`s downloading them trough Windows update. For me that is actually good , because it`s going to install only the once I need. As a gamer I don`t have any problems with any of my games. All of them are running much better than with the cluttered Pro version.
My university uses LTSC Windows and I think it's much better than the standard Windows 10. But Linux is Linux and it's not worth it for me to switch to LTSC.
agreed.
I've installed Windows Store, and then i download xbox services and the gaming is just fine, no crashs or that staff, nice video bro
I wish I could’ve seen this video before buying a windows10 pro license
Is there telemetry on this os?I assume you can use conventional methods to remove it?Can update be permanently disable i.e. disable update service?Also there is still about 80 processes running?I thought this was light?
After updates broke my son's laptop, Windows 10 should be called the Godzilla edition...because everything breaks. All versions of 10 need to be scrapped. 10 can no longer be trusted. It seems the best version was 7 :)
@Deon Denis torrent machine detected.
8.1 with Classic Shell
Hm, I'd say the LTSC version could be trusted a bit more than the standard Win10 installation.
8.1 was the best version.

@@ChrisTitusTech Windows Server 2019 is a surprisingly good OS as a desktop workstation, even for games.
It is now heavily used in VDI environments as it is not that different that 2016 (and Windows 10) and it is not bloated.

I wouldn't mind the LTSC branch but I doubt it'd work out for me from a financial perspective.
Had to reset Win10Pro hours ago because it kept crashing on me when playing games or even going to the login screen.
Didn't expect 1903 to be that painfun 😢
I use LTSC on my laptops, my main pc is my gaming rig, it has win 10 pro, but i don't game on my laptop, so LTSC all the way, yes my laptop is a POS, not a Point Of Sale, the other acronim :p it has a celeron N4000 and 4gb of ram, win 10 home CHUGS on it, but LTSC? Super fast and smooth, i use this thing mostly to browse the internet, type an email and do some things in word, and that's it. LTSC is superstable, it uses around 1.5gb of ram, and that is with all my apps installed, which is honestly great! It leaves me with 2.5gb of ram to do whatever! And 2 cores is all LTSC needs, i like it! I found a way to add the store and the xbox services to LTSC, so, all the drawbacks can be solved by adding the store and xbox services yourself, and it will still be a clean os because it doesn't install all those "recommended" apps, i deleted the store again because i don't need it on my cr4ppy laptop.

Robbert Lucassen windows 10 ltsc is 8 gb with fresh install, this version of windows does not have: cortana, microsoft store, edge browser (it has only internet explorer), it does not have image viewer, is more lighter than windows 7 (i am typing from windows 10 ltsc and is the more stable version of windows)

I feel so bad for windows developers that I, an avid linux user who hates windows, used an extra laptop that I have laying around to throw windows 10 on it and joined the insider "fast" program to help them test their shit and give them feedback. 😂
They need to go back to windows 7's source code and start from there. Windows 10 has been a disaster for them.
Especially when u need virtualbox to run some serious MS software, this is the bomb! There's many torrents of LTSC with an option to automatically KMS activate
nowadays pirated OS doesn't exists anymore, just patches/cracks, there's very less little chance you get backdoors with cracks, other than the backdoors that are installed into windows by Microsoft
Should run pretty nicely on my Athlon 64x2 PC. Downloading it now
Thank you for making this video. 👍 We use Windows 10 Pro on our office PC's as well as some POS machines...Linux is not an option as the programs are made for Windows but Home and Pro editions are full of junk some updates break stuff. Got few of the POS machines pre-installed with Windows 10 LTSC and runs so smooth and fast even on low spec systems. It is the best solution for anyone looking for fast, bloat free Windows.
It is possible to install the store if you go into developer mode. I needed some themes.
I am enjoying ltsc as my second OS. Some games just need windows. I get tired of fixing games when a Proton update comes along and something breaks. Linux is great for most games but like I said there are a few that just need more attention.
I would rather just have it in a VM for games instead of dual booting but I have never been able to successfully play certain games consistently in a VM.
after going into developer mode where do I go to get microsfot store? i desperately need to get it so adobe XD can be compatible with windows for my business
Thanks!
What about the activation without removing Watermark only?
I have a question, i i download windows 10 from microsoft website, then i make a bootable usb, meanwhile i own a windows 10 pro key, is that considered as a pirated software? Does it have any backdoor?
the funny thing is if MS allowed an easy acquiring of this LTSC version I might not have jumped over to linux.
but now I'm using POP_OS with WIN10 in a VM on top and that's it I'm done.
However, using LTSC for vm use might be interesting since I am committed to never letting windows touch the bare metal of any new install I do for myself.
I am on PoP right now looking for a way to get LTSC because nothing useful works on Pop
This is nice to know, especially if I somehow find myself doing work on Windows instead of Linux.
How do I get a bootable usb stick? Downloaded the ISO, flashed it with Rufus, but can't boot the stick. Any tips?
Yeah but you don't get all the fun defective apps from that appstore, that takes all the fun out of using windows 10 :(
tnx so much for the video. Could you refer me to a guide or make one yourself or a video about what packeges can be removed from LTSC iso without hearting the os itself, please? tnx againe ...
I want to install LTSC on an old laptop and use Microsoft 365 on it. How much of a pain is it to get M365 (specifically OneDrive sync and Word/Excel) working on it?
An OS that gets rid of the Microsoft 3rd-Party DRMs, or stops you using games that depend on them? This OS is automatically %300 better! So worth the price and licenses.
which one is better windows 10 NT or windows 10 LTSC version?
I'm getting a blue screen of death when i try to install and boot in to the LTSC on an external ssd, do you guys know any solutions? Or is it not possible to install it as a Windows Go device?
Sounds like real nice version Chris. Thanks.
I think there are ways in the newer versions of LTSC to add the microsoft store and thus the dependencies to play xbox gamepass games
Ayyy, I made a successful volume licensing agreement with Microsoft for 5 licenses, only 1 of them in use.
Chris,
Thank you for making this video and really giving a great explanation of what Windows 10 LTSB/C is. I grew up using Windows for school as well as research. My first computer was an IBM THINKPAD, which ran Windows 3.1.
As you can imagine, I "bit the bullet" and upgraded to Windows 10 because the majority of people & organizations use Windows. Plus, I picked up Adobe Photoshop, which I know runs on Mac. But cannot justify buying one for a few Gs, when Windows based laptops are cheaper and are basically the same except for the OS.
My main concern is with security. As you probably know, a few years ago, on July 17, 2014, Microsoft laid off their entire software development team. So, really, just how secure and reliable is Windows 10 compared to XP/Vists/7?
Anyway, despite its security and privacy (which, ty for making those videos to address those) issues Windows 10 LTSC will be my OS of choice.
So . . . is this better than the customized Win10 iso you recently showcased? And faster? And activateable for about $20? And repeatedly ruled perfectly legal in the US and the EU? What's the catch?
I'm asking the same
I was going to watch your video, but I run the command on your shirt and my computer died
I have win 10 LTSB. ( Probably really LTSC now after the updates.) I'd never use the Microsoft Store for games but can confirm that my games run perfectly well on it. Most of my games are on Steam and there are no issues whatsoever. I am still cautious about spying and data collection , maybe without cause now, but having previously had Win 10 pro it has made me a little paranoid i suppose. Having said all that though, Win 10 LTSB is still only used for pure gaming. I have no email on it and only have a browser to access mods for my games. Literally everything else I do on a PC is done on Linux. I obtained the LTSB iso directly from Microsoft and activated it with Microsoft
Toolkit. I was amazed it activated but it did. The best of both worlds. I paid for the pro version at the time so don't feel the slightest bit shady about using the Toolkit. LTSB(C) is the version we ALL should have been given access to at the outset.
Eric Shunn you have LTSB because this versions of windows 10 does not upgrade so if you want LTSC you have to make a clean install.
will 'sudo apt remove sudo' work?
If yes, can you reinstall sudo without sudo?
Yes and yes just use su to log in as root than install it again
Are the LTSC/Enterprise versions only available to companies (legal entities)?
Can you get volume licensing agreement as a person/physical entity?
Cuz companies dont care about us plebs(consumers) only companies with money will get a decent product
LTSC Is the LTS Windows with a minimal interface focused on security and stability. You will get bug fixes and security updates but no new features. If you miss them, stay on stock Windows. You can buy a ten PC volume licence, which works well for most people. It can be installed on all your home and work PCs. No muss, no fuss. Probably the best version of Windows 10 most people don’t know about.

Technically, Yes. However, milage will vary as some games require the Microsoft Store so you need to install it via PowerShell which I don't recommend.,

You guys and your backdoors. Such scaremongering and bullshit being tossed about. If you're not doing anything illegal, no amount of third-party spying will ever affect you.
From a business perspective, this version makes complete sense. Those who simply can't afford the downtime of Windows 10 updates, with its unpredictable glitches and would probably like their staff to do some work rather than play silly games. From the watch every penny home user, it's very pricey! Putting on my pirate's hat for a moment, I suspect it would be possible to run some version of Linux with Virtualbox, then install this evaluation version of Windows 10 in Virtualbox and take a snapshot. Every 90 days roll back to the snapshot.
They will have seen past that one. I tried it on a Win7 VM years ago and it didn't work so I'd doubt that they'd fall for in on a Win10 limited time version.
I was disappointed with the Win7 thing as I'd spent a bit of time setting it up as a scam-baiting honey-pot and bear trap.
@@dingokidneys Dingo Kidneys Give it another go, it does work. You can use either a genuine paid-for version of Windows or you can download directly from Microsoft, free 90-day developer versions of Windows from here. developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
When you upgrade Virtualbox it often breaks a Windows VM as it sees it as a hardware change, so if you intend to keep a Windows VM in use it's better to use an older version of Virtualbox that has maxed out on its development cycle. That way it will remain stable. Very handy if you're using Linux and you buy a new unsupported printer. You can use a Windows VM as a print server.
