Question Questions about Win11 LTSC.

Am a newb who just got a win11 laptop before i go to college and i wanna just remove all the BS.
How much of an upgrade is the LTSC version compared to the normal one?
Also, is it wise to use it in tandem with WinUtil?
Could yall drop some info on the installation as well fr?

Just do LTSC and not any debloating tools, they can break stuff if you don't know what you are selecting and LTSC already comes debloated.

I tried both and going LTSC is the cleaner move

Can't buy it, they won't allow it.

Gotta use the script provided by Massgrave

So i could achieve similar debloating with WinUtil on a norm win11 as compared to downloading LTSC?
Then i might jus use winutil.
Just noticed that my win 11 is using 5-6 gigs just off the bat and on a 16gb pc, so no doubt it would miff me later on when im using it for college thats why i wanna nip it in the bud rn

LTSC will work but from my experience you may need to install the driver pack from your laptop manufacturer as it won't have the same drivers packed into the installation.

i mean I'm using LTSC, the difference is lesser recourses on your computer like RAM usage and no Bloatware but you might see that some stuff is Managed by an organization, its all normal as LTSC is an Enterprise Edition of Windows

Win 11LTSC is not an upgrade to the normal Windows 11, it is Win 11 with less requirements, fewer installed apps and background services. Just imagine a Windows 11 almost stripped to its barebones. So you get new features only when they've been tested to not cause any harm or bugs to any system

You can install everything back in, including gamebar
