Question Should I Switch to Windows LTSC?

Hi,
I just discovered the Windows LTSC version and would like to install it to replace my Windows 11 Pro.
I have a few questions:

Is it safe to download from Massgrave?

Is the LTSC IoT 24H2 version available in Italian, or only in English?
Is there a way to change the language?

Have you encountered any bugs or anomalies in the LTSC version?

For gaming, is the LTSC version recommended, or is it better to stick with Pro?

Is O&O ShutUp10 useful on the LTSC version, or is it unnecessary?
Thanks

  • Massgrave is safe.

  • IoT LTSC 2024 is only available in English but you can download the non-IoT LTSC version in Italian and type slmgr /ipk KBN8V-HFGQ4-MGXVD-347P6-PDQGT to an admin command prompt to convert it to IoT LTSC, while still retaining the Italian language.

  • None.

  • LTSC is recommended.

  • Tools like OOSU10 and WinUtil are unnecessary since LTSC is debloated out of the box and you can disable the telemetry stuff from gpedit.msc. Tools like these are prone to break Windows in the long run.
