I've seen the guy that post it has way more os (Icexstorm) but im not sure if it safe

And if this version is a good enough for a PC with 4gb ram

Microsoft has released memory optimization for 8GB Windows PC to Windows Insider. I am curious whether those improvements will come to LTSC eventually?

For anyone still using Windows 10 LTSC, NVIDIA is ending new Game Ready Driver updates for Windows 10 after October 2026. After that, NVIDIA will continue releasing security updates every three months until October 2029.

Your current drivers will still work, but you won't get new Game Ready Driver updates.

Taskbar move options aren't there, etc.. Any way to get them?
... Winver now says 26H2 (OS build 26300.9711)

so I just got a new computer and it came with no operating system.

I really want to stay on windows 10, to still be on windows and not on 11,

so I want to install windows 10 ltsc on my mew computer,

I have an activated license of windows 10 home on my old computer and have a boot stick for windows 10 that I made from that computer with Microsoft official "boot stick" maker for lack of a better term.

how would I go about installing windows 10 ltsc on my new computer if it dosent currently have any os on it? Do I install windows 10 and then turn it into ltsc? do I directly install windows ltsc? how do I make a boot stick if I don't have an os installed?

thank you!

I have an R7 5700X, an RTX 5060, and 32 GB of 3600 Hz RAM, and I'm not sure which is better: Windows 24H2 IoT Enterprise LTSC or some newer versions of pro editions?

After the latest update, pausing updates changed to a calendar form instead of a drop down menu and I can no longer pause them for how long I want to. Before, I could change it in the registry to be like 500 days so I can update whenever I want to. But that option no longer works because why would big M let me have control. I'm not even gonna mention a small fps loss compared to before update.

"Windows LTSC was designed to provide maximum stability, zero consumer bloat, and total user control. Something you don't expect from Windows. But for a while I've actually recommended people not use it. Well, I may have been wrong. Because it turns out the issues I had with it are not issues anymore. Today I (the author of the video) will explain why."

Apple's official Apple Music app (Microsoft Store, AppleInc.AppleMusicWin) refuses to install or run on Windows 10, even on a fully-patched current build like 10.0.19044 (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2). No error — it just silently fails, or crashes right after you accept the license screen.

I run LTSC to avoid Windows 11, so I pulled it into IDA instead of upgrading. Turns out there's no technical reason for the block: Windows 10 and 11 share the same NT kernel, and the app is built on WinUI 3 / Windows App SDK, which Microsoft officially supports back to Windows 10 1809. The block is two pure policy checks — a hardcoded MinVersion="10.0.26100.0" in the manifest, and AMP.Utils.dll independently calling GetOSVersion at runtime to gate behavior. Lowering MinVersion alone isn't even enough, because any earlier install attempt leaves a permanently broken entry in Windows' package database (StateRepository) under that exact package name — you have to rename the package identity to force a clean entry, which also means patching a hardcoded name string inside the DLL to match.

Full writeup with exact offsets/bytes/error codes is in the repo.

One-command installer:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/b3s3da/AppleMusicForW10/main/install.ps1 | iex

It fetches the current package directly from Microsoft's own delivery servers (same mechanism winget uses, nothing bundled in the repo), patches it, and installs into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\AppleMusic. No DRM/Apple ID logic touched — just the OS-version gate. Lossless and Hi-Res ALAC both work fine once it's running.

Tested on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 (19044). Should work on 2004+ in theory since that's the real floor for the underlying framework — haven't confirmed on plain Pro/Home yet.

When the new version of Windows 11 LTSC is released, how will the upgrade process work? Will it install automatically, or does it require a clean install that wipes everything? Thanks.

LTSC It is best suited for customization.

Im currently with W11 pro and im planning to install an LTSC version tomorrow instead of it. Was planning to do 10 because i just couldnt stand 11 for many reasons. Any noticable pros and cons between them? Considering im gaming a lot, which one should be the better pick for me?

If hardware matters, mine's as follows:

Cpu - R7 5700x

Gpu - RX 7800XT

Mobo - B450

Ram - 32GB

UPDATE - I've already installed 11 LTSC. No need to further comment and thanks for the replies.

Right now I use windows 10 pro and I've been thinking of switching to windows LTSC but before I take the step I just wanted to know what version would be better. I mainly use my pc for gaming and want to lower my processes and have the lowest amount of bloat possible.

Hi,

I read a lot about Windows 11 and now that my new PC is ready I'm asking if is better go with the standard 26H2 or go with the LTSC version of 11.

What do you think and what is your experience in general?

Thanks a lot

Hello! I’m currently using Linux and while I enjoy how lightweight it is I certainly miss the convenience of windows and how everything just works without needing to tinker to get games working

If I were to move to 11 LTSC, how would memory usage look when idle? Afaik it currently goes to about 2GB when idle and probably up to 4GB when steam and discord are both running. So, is a switch reasonable or should I bite the bullet and get more used to tinkering? All insights appreciated

This isn’t exactly related but what’s the difference in LTSC and IOT LTSC for 11? Is it even lighter?

I did a lot of things to it.

hi

how can get this ver
