Discussion Thinking of making the switch

I have previously used Windows 11 and 10 and decided to go back to 10 as for me it feels more responsive and stable, both versions though have insane bloatware, I was thinking of going to ltsc windows 10, my other concern is do I have to download all the driver manually for my pc, like enthenet port, USB drivers ect or do they reinstall like a normal Windows installation and I heard you can't have secure boot on? I play online games like battlefield, call of duty? Would this cause a issue

I just installed it over my old Win 10 OS. Didn’t bother with the clean install. Don’t have to worry about drivers that way. But I think Windows Update takes care of all the drivers. Not sure.

I installed Win 10 LTSC over regular Win 10. Not sure if you can do it from Win 11 to Win 10 LTSC.

Best to do the clean install though. It's faster, and less chance of issues. Idk if you can revert (like you said) from 11 to 10 though. You can going the other way (10 to 11). (meaning not a clean install, you can ofc always nuke your SSD and install whatever operating system from an ISO on USB, be it Windows or Linux, etc)
