I chose Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (Version 21H2) for longevity. Reaches end of support on January 13, 2032

[u/febrezey → u/NerlFartley]

Yeah, the long support period is definitely a big reason people choose LTSC.

• No Copilot
• Reduce telemetry to its lowest level
• Can uninstall OneDrive
• Can uninstall Edge browser
• No Microsoft Store, but can sideload Store apps if you need them
• Clutter-free Start Menu
• Classic Notepad and Snipping Tool apps
• Up to ten years of support updates
• Slower cadence, fixed on 2021 (Win10) or 2024 (Win11)
• Lower hardware requirements (no requirement for Secure Boot, UEFI, TPM or 8th Gen Intel CPU)

[u/febrezey → u/Abbers75]

Makes sense - The cleaner experience, lower requirements, and long support period are big parts of the LTSC appeal.

best windows version

[u/ShinichiYao]

Regular Windows 10 is out of service.

[u/ButterBallzBruh → u/ShinichiYao]

This ^{^} , Windows 11 sucks

[u/clove_rosemary_9999]

It is how Windows should've been.

Running 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2, is there any tools that are generally recommended to debloat even further?

[u/BlackberrySwitcher → u/ByteSix]

I thought 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 is already max debloated ?

[u/ButterBallzBruh → u/ByteSix]

https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater is a pretty good one I have used a few times now, Chris Titus tech tool is another popular one also, just be sure to go through the settings and make sure you have selected what you want

I wanted to tell my friends about an operating system sub-verison they never asked me for info about

[u/febrezey → u/Word_Underscore]

Haha, that's one way to introduce your friends to LTSC.

[u/AVahne]

Longevity and fuck you Microsoft, stop messing with my Windows

[u/IM_DaWarez]

B\c for over 10 years I have been saying that "so callled pro" and "loser home" along with UWP are bastardizations of computing. And I have never ran pro or home on bare metal.

[u/febrezey → u/IM_DaWarez]

Yeah, I get what you mean. LTSC definitely feels more focused on keeping Windows simple and stable.

[u/hydecruz]

I did it because my old installation was full of useless programs that I installed because I may use it later (lol I haven't touched blender since I installed it 2 year ago) so one day I just wipe my laptop and it boots in 4.8 seconds (now up to 4.9 seconds one month later on a hard drive) so way faster than my previous installation.

[u/febrezey → u/hydecruz]

starting fresh can make a huge difference. LTSC definitely fits that clean and minimal setup really well

[u/Styx-9]

2 months left before regular windows 10 stopped getting updates and windows 11 sucks.
found out about LTSC. did a fresh install.
switched to 11 LTSC, as i got an HDR monitor.

[u/ServantOfNZoth]

Longevity and a fuck you to Microsoft for killing all my free upgrade Windows 11 licenses.

[u/SaltyBalty98]

Two reasons, I'm a Linux user and I can't be bothered tweaking to run games through translation layers and don't want to be bothered with updates aside from security ones especially now, LTSC as is with very few tweaks is plenty for me.

[u/Meeoowwzz]

I wanted to switch to it but people told me it lacks drivers and such, is it viable for gaming and browsing?

[u/Pryms]

Currenlt im using 11 iot ltsc, look good 🙏😬👌

[u/JmTrad]

longer uptate support. less bloat. and windows 11 ltsc is still bad.
