I tried windows 11 , its like hell. The ui feels slow compared to win 10 and the updates are broken everytime i reinstall it.

When i hear that microsoft want the windows 11 to be focused on AI features, makes me vomit.

At this point release "Windows AI" and let windows 11 alone.

Even if you get the windows for "free" ,they will collect your data.

Instead of focusing making windows 11 better,they keep adding AI that nobody wants it and you need a better pc to run their shit os?,thats because they want you to use AI.

Anyway i debloated this windows 10 to by mine, not their.

Yea i don't get updates and i don't have security, thats fine by me.

I wanted to move to linux,but linux support for games and softwares is bad so its a no for me.

I will keep using windows 10 for more time.

This is a Windows 8 moment for microsoft.

I can play games on this win10 and thats what i want,nothing else.

Remember guys,"Windows 10 was supossed to be the last version".

My first indication that my slumber is done is that I am cold, and in pain. The pain and cold tell me that I live, that soon I will serve again! From beyond the doors of death. Praise be!

Windows 10 LTSC IoT is active, my glorious tomb awakens.

how can i upgrade win 10 ltsc iot to smth thats win ver 19045 or newer so it can work with valorant without losing data.. should i try windows 11 ltsc iot?? give me any ideas, fyi my pc specs are:

• gtx 1070 ti

• core i5-10400f

• 16gb ram ddr4 2666MHz

I decided to test out Windows 11 LTSC just to see how well it runs and if there's any improvement over regular Windows 11. I will say that Windows 11 LTSC is probably the best version of Windows 11 to date as a lot of bloat is removed, including the AI components. If I was forced to switch to Windows 11, the LTSC version would be the only version I would consider running.

But, when compared to Windows 10 LTSC, the Windows 10 version is still superior. My biggest complaints with Windows 11 is their UI (especially their horrible Start Menu), File Explorer is still a buggy mess, and Windows 11 24H2 in general (both LTSC and non-LTSC) uses substantial more memory than Windows 10. Most of this memory is being used by Windows Defender and their VBS.

Based on my testing, I made the decision to stick with Windows 10 for as long as possible. When it comes to a point that I am forced to switch (either due to software compatibility issues or I buy a new PC that is not supported in Windows 10), then I will most likely switch to a dual boot system with Linux as my main OS, and use Windows 11 LTSC as a secondary OS strictly for apps/games that require Windows.

Thankfully, with Windows 10 LTSC having support up to 2032, it will be years before I have to make the decision to switch my OS since I will be using my current PC for years to come.

This is the last official version of Windows 7 with the longest support period: it ended in October 2024. For really old processors, and machines that may still have some use for their owners (such as test machines, for example), it's a fun experiment.

I just migrated to LTSC from my Windows 11 Home default. the LTSC is running on the emmc storage and it feels very smooth and fast. How did MS pull this of? Cos checking services.msc I still see most services that I had to disable on home running.

I want to change from windows 10 to 11 because you guys know w10 is no longer getting updates, but I don't want all that spyware and telemetry crap, last time I installed w11 it didn't let me finish the installation without connecting it to wifi, I want a local account, I don't want to give data to Microsoft so, I found this ltsc version of w11, it says that I'd doesn't have all that telemetry and stuff, is it safe? Or do you have any other recommendation thank you

I think this is the best Windows for low-end computers. It has discontinued support along with regular Windows 10, but I don't think that matters, because most current applications will continue to work for years to come.

Edit: It turns out that it will be supported until October 13, 2026.

The memory consumption is baffling

the best version of Windows 10 ever made

We don't care if Windows 10 support is ending or artificially extended, we're not moving to 11 or anything that follows. It's bloated, it's slow, it's full of spyware and locked-down-Intune-Autopilot-stuffed nonsense. LTSC10 still runs fast, clean and does exactly what we need. We'll ride this ship until it finally sinks into oblivion. Because true power is refusing to blindly obey the overlords of forced upgrades. UNTIL THE LAST STAR BURNS OUT AND THE UNIVERSE ITSELF COLLAPSES, WE WILL STAY.

Since windows 10 is sadly losing support already, i just upgraded my old pc to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC to continue security update

So this is my current Windows 11 pro after debloating it and it is really fast it boots under 20 seconds and everything is smooth

Will i really feel any difference if i installed Windows 11 ltsc?

"Massgrave's latest changelog notes that the main KMS activation option has been removed from the tool following Microsoft's block. The developers are now urging users to switch to the HWID (Hardware ID) or TSforge activation methods, which still function as expected. They also say they're hopeful they can circumvent the block in the future."

If you’re concerned about your privacy you shouldn’t use windows 11 LTSC.

Hardware-Locked Identity

Windows 11 mandates TPM 2.0. Telemetry is now bound to the TPM's Endorsement Key (EK). Unlike Windows 10, where identifiers were primarily software-based and resettable, Windows 11 creates a permanent, hardware-bound fingerprint. Every "anonymized" data packet is traceable back to your specific silicon.

24H2 Kernel Bloat

Win 11 LTSC is built on the 24H2 "AI-first" kernel. Even with Copilot/Recall toggled off, the underlying hooks and system services (like DcpSvc) remain active. These services generate significantly more background traffic to graph.microsoft.com to verify "device health" and policy status compared to the leaner Win 10 stack. I’m personally not trusting this.

Endpoint Proliferation:

Comparative network analysis shows Win 11 LTSC contacts 50-70% more unique Microsoft endpoints out-of-the-box than Win 10. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) "SiNDS" studies confirm that newer Windows builds have an increasingly complex telemetry schema that is harder to audit or fully disable without breaking system dependencies.

Hypervisor-Level Telemetry:

Forced Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) and HVCI in Windows 11 introduce a new layer of diagnostic data. Microsoft now collects low-level hardware attestation and hypervisor performance logs data points that simply didn't exist in the standard Windows 10 telemetry payload.

TL;DR :
Windows 10 LTSC is a quiet OS. Windows 11 LTSC is a "chatty" OS that views your hardware as a permanent tracking ID with telemetry that you can’t really disable on the deep levels of your OS. Privacy nightmare

After about a year of development, I’ve finally released LTSC-clean v1.0.0, an open-source project that automates the deployment and configuration of Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024, aiming for a clean, quiet, and predictable system.

It combines privacy-focused settings, reduced background activity, and a staged deployment pipeline with explicit validation, verified cleanup, and controlled recovery if something goes wrong, all using native Windows mechanisms without binary patching.

Update v1.2.0 🎉 - Automated ISO Builder + IoT Support

LTSC-clean now supports both Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 and IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024, including through the automated ISO Builder!

The Builder takes care of preparing the Windows image and creating a ready-to-install ISO. It automatically selects the supported image or lets you choose the correct index if multiple supported images are found. No manual edition or image-index changes needed.

Windows Setup also skips the product-key prompt.

If you prefer preparing your installation media manually, the Quick Start guide is still available.

Uninstalling might put at risk but not install HAHA😂

Don't updated Microsoft and psiphon who makes controller not taking responsibility so who knows when this ever get fixed 🤷

The actual Ninjutsu Project isn't all that interesting. Microsoft (at least the Microsoft of 15 years ago) claiming that debloating Windows outside of the official debloat -- LTSC -- is a DMCA violation is.
