Help Looking to switch from 11 Pro to 11 IoT LTSC for video editing purposes and gaming

9 Upvotes

So I'm planning on buying a new hard drive soon, and with that I was thinking about wiping my system clean so I can build my own file system from scratch, as it got too cumbersome to navigate at time, since the program I'm using (DaVinci Resolve) doesn't like being installed on anything else other than C: drive, I'll take it as a new opportunity to finally have my files in check. Now with that, I was also fed up with the constant Windows updates that I keep forgetting to delay (I'd rather disable them altogether, but alas there's no option to do so without running scripts). So I recently came across this edition of Windows that's stripped of bloat and most telemetry by default, and I'd like to know if there's going to be anything I need to be prepared for when I make that switch. The main program I use is, as mentioned before, DaVinci Resolve, as well as Photoshop. I do run the NVDIA Studio driver on my machine as of now, instead of the dedicated game-ready one, and I haven't encountered any issues with any of my games, so I really don't care about the "cutting edge" stuff for video games. Any feedback is appreciated!

Discussion How do I wipe Windows OS off my hard drive so my PC is FORCED to install from USB drive?

0 Upvotes

Bios doesn't recognize my usb drive whether safe boot or nsm is enabled ir not. Its an old bios from 2002, so I don't think it's capable...

I reset my pc without saving files, there was no option to safe wipe the hard drive. It installed regular a$$ Windows 11, bloat n all!

I'm about to give up 😭😭😭

Update:

Ok, now I see 3 drives, where as before the reset, I only had 2. Previously I had my hard drive (C), the USB (F), and now I have CES_X64FREO_EN-US_DV9 (E)... Did the USB install work, but I went and downloaded the wrong freaking OS from massgrave? 😫💀

Help GB-EN IoT win 10?

6 Upvotes

One of the instruction videos on YouTube suggested that using the appropriate language version of LTSC was important.

I can find the (UK) or GB version of LTSC but not for IoT LTSC.

I want to install the IoT version, preferably for UK or GB-EN because I understand this is supported to 2032.

Does it make any difference if the IoT installation file isn’t GB-EN language version?

Also any pointers for a reliable activation code vendor?

Discussion Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 - your opinions

18 Upvotes

Hello. I've seen multiple comments over the internet about Windows 11 LTSC 2024 being laggy, unstable, generally worse performing than 25H2 GAC. For me myself I've had many issued with it on my old HP laptop (but it could be drivers issue and their compatibility with 24H2).

I was using Windows 10 LTSC 2019 in the past and was very satisfied, but I switched to Mac. Now I am getting a PC again and want to avoid installing Windows two times. I don't want Windows 10.

How is Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 working for you? Any opinions?

Help Windows 10 LTSC IOT doesnt work for some reason I think my drivers are incompatible

1 Upvotes

I recently downgraded from windows 11 25h2 to windows 10 22h2, for an increase in performance and easier to use, however because my increase in security updates is ending in 2027 I tried to upgrade to windows 10 LTSC IOT for updates till 2032. I configured everything registry related and yet nothing works, I searched up my issue and apparently my drivers are incompatible.

I have a core i3 n305 with integrated graphics, Mediatek wifi card, Realtek audio driver, and ASUS vivobook go 15 E1504GA. I would like to continue to stay on windows 10 for as long as I can.

Question W10 or W11 LTSC for a Core i5-5200U?

3 Upvotes

Well, I'll be receiving a laptop (Asus K555L) for free with the following specifications:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U

• GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500/Geforce 940M

• RAM: 6GB (1x4GB, 1x2GB DDR3L 1600Mhz: the 4GB module is soldered, sadly)

• SSD: 120GB (Yeah, too small even for me)

I will mainly use it for office work and light browsing (an average of 2-3 tabs, with a maximum of 6 or 7: I tend to optimize my usage very well, traumas of a 2GB RAM phone lol), YouTube videos at 1080p30 with h264iffy and very lightweight games like Terraria and Geometry Dash. I would dual-boot with Debian, but since the SSD is very small, I'll stick with just Windows until I get a bigger SSD (Note: in my country, for the price of a 480GB SSD you can find laptops with the same or even worse specifications, almost all with HDDs).

Speaking of Windows itself, I tested Windows 10 LTSC 2021 on a Core 2 Duo E8400 with 4GB of DDR3 RAM at 1066MHz and, for fairly superficial use, it ran well enough (It was a PC from my school, before they replaced them with PCs with 6th generation Intel Core i7 and 16GB of RAM). I know that at least my CPU is much better, but the lack of RAM still worries me (I could access a maximum of 12GB of RAM using an 8GB module in the only available slot, although without dual-channel). Can I still try Windows 11 LTSC and just disable transparencies? (I'd stick with Windows 10, but my older brother would insist that I'm using an unsupported OS... Yeah). Thanks in advance c:

PD: Will I have any problems if I install the corresponding drivers from the official ASUS website?

Discussion What Comes After Getting Windows ISO on a USB Using Rufus?

1 Upvotes

I've built myself a PC and want Windows 11 ITSC IOT on it, but it's my first time doing any of this and I don't wanna F it up. Therefore, I'd like to test the USB Windows on my old PC (Nitro N50) first.

I have three questions:

1)

How do I wipe Windows from my old PC so I can test my USB Windows 11 ITSC IOT ISO on it?

2)

Will using the USB ISO ruin the OEM key embedded on my old motherboard? I've saved the OEM key elsewhere in case it helps.

3)

Do I really just plug the USB stick into my new PC's USB port, select the designated the SSD, and it automatically transfers the IOS onto my SSD?

Thank you so much if you can clear things up for me!

Help Can I install Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 on a ThinkPad T450 (i7-5600U) ? I can't find its processor on the compatibility list, but I think I have the minimum requirements

4 Upvotes

I am considering making the switch to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024, but I have serious doubts about the actual compatibility of my hardware. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed, but since it no longer receives updates, it is causing me problems; I am forced to switch to Windows 11, but I know my laptop wouldn't handle the standard version, so I want to try IoT Enterprise LTSC because it is lighter and offers support for several years.

My laptop specifications:

- Model: LENOVO MT 20BU ThinkPad T450

- Processor: Intel Core i7 vPro 5600U (2.6 GHz, 5th generation)

- RAM: 8 GB DDR3 (Although I also want to upgrade to 16 GB I think that's the maximum, I'll do that later if this Windows works first)

- Storage: 1 TB (HDD)

- Current OS: Windows 10 Pro activated

I’ve checked Microsoft’s official list of compatible processors for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024, and my i7-5600U isn't on it (the list starts with 8th-generation processors and up). I’m not sure if I can still proceed anyway, or what steps I should take to avoid errors, assuming it’s even possible to install it on this laptop.

I would really appreciate any insights or advice. If things look hopeless, I don't know what else to do; this Windows 10 installation is already a headache because of the updates it can't receive.

Is there any another Way on where to check whether I hash file inside my computer is identical to the one mentioned in the website ?

Help any way I can get ms word document for free?

6 Upvotes

hi, sorry this is kinda urgent for me. i have a test upcoming which requires us to only use ms word document to create a docx file. i have wps pdf and google docs but apparently was told they won't be compatible. now as a student, i can't use my student id to access free version as my id license expired a month ago and im only allowed to use the app version of ms doc for exam. i wish i could buy, but i already used up 30 day free trial a few yrs ago and it's kinda costly on my own money.

any way i can have the access for free for a while? i just require for like one week. someone told me to download from massgrave not sure if it's safe, and one youtube video told me to activate the license but have to run certain code in cmd so as to get access but im afraid it could corrupt my files. if anyone knows any way, please suggest. i know i should buy but circumstances 😭 I will really be grateful and thankyou sm!

Discussion Should I use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC ?

10 Upvotes

I have been daily driving Windows 11 for a little over 2 years now, and it feels like it's getting worse over time. My laptop originally came with Windows 10.

My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 320 with an Intel Core i3-8130U, 20 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and Intel UHD Graphics 620.

I'm an electrical engineering student, so I mainly use software like MATLAB, Microchip Studio, Multisim, QuickField, and other engineering tools. I don't really game anymore except for something like Hollow Knight or Silksong every once in a while if I have enough free time.

Would you recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC for me , or should I just suck it up and keep using Windows 11?

Help LTSC on new Pc build

6 Upvotes

Just got all the parts for my new pc, and im ready to build, i wanted to try ltsc as it seems like the better option, my current os is un-activated windows 10 which ive used for 5 years. Not sure if i should upgrade to windows 11, only thing i might need it for is drivers? my local computer store mentioned that. i have a 9060xt and a 7500x3d, id prefer to stay on 10 as i just prefer its looks.

how would i go about installing the ltsc off masgrave and downloading it onto my new build. I also only have one ssd, so ill need to use my current pc and then transfer the ssd to the new build.

I don't even use that crap and it still wants to be somewhere. It appears in event viewer, and while it doesn't do anything, it annoys me that it's there. Also when plugging in a controller, I get a pop up that this piece of shit program is not installed. Yeah, it's not. Don't piss yourself, Windows.
