what is the difference between this

and downloading Iot LTSC 2022 from that pastebin link?

>>106894786
>Are security updates that important?
Yes
>I torrent and download lots of stuff dodgey hentai games and shit
For you updated antivirus definitions are probably more important. Hope you're not adding exceptions for all those EXEs because "its just the crack that's setting it off"!

>>106894786
>I torrent and download lots of stuff dodgey hentai games and shit
Have some common sense and don't run hentai.exe on your PC and you will be fine. I used Windows 7 for years after its EOL and I have never had any issues with it.

i might be dumb but i followed the pastebin guide for W10 IoT LTSC 2022, and winver still says i have Windows 10 Education 22H2. is this normal or did i fuck sth up?

I've been daily driving Windows 7 since day one with no issues until very recently. My current computer was built in 2019; my SSD is 256gb. My friend gave me a 1tb SSD and I intend to dual boot Windows 11 using an ISO from the op post (unless someone has a better idea), but I would like to still keep 7 as my main OS. I'm not sure which OSes to put on which drives, or how to do any backups. I have an external drive on which I install programs and games and such, which I would like to work with both systems if possible. What's the best setup to have in this scenario?
I'm pretty tech illiterate beyond setting this stuff up, and knowing to disable internet during installation. The only immediate hurdles I can think of are setting up my drawing tablet which I sometimes use as a second monitor, and dealing with my 25 year old midi synthesizer.

>>106897229
My guess is that the easiest method for you would be to install win11 with your main drive unplugged (so it won't touch your existing boot manager) and then go into your BIOS settings to set whatever order you want.
>which I would like to work with both systems if possible.
You will have to do some work if you want installed programs to show in start menu, etc. for both installs but nothing is stopping you from using the files and running programs on the drive.

>>106892593 (OP)
I'm a little alarmed, just a little. Microsoft better does good on its promise to carry it through to 2032 or they will get the EU cock down their throats again, which is absolutely justified.

>>106897309
I don't have a boot manager that I'm aware of, unless it's some thing that doesn't show up since I only boot one OS. Thanks for the tip though!
I'm mainly just wondering if I should put both on the new drive, or just 11. I don't really know how long my old SSD will last, but it seems to be fine. I'm aware I'll need to do some customizing to have all my crap show up on 11, but I mostly just want to use it for games and programs that no longer work on 7.

Windows 10 LTSC IoT
now what?

>>106899106
>he fell for the IoT meme

oh no...

Okay, I am about to build a new PC.

Should I get W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 or immediately W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2024?

I don't need to wipe the the old OS and just be able to upgrade to the latter in the years to come?
Is it clean enough or does it create too many fuck ups in registry etc.?

>>106899106
Myself and others are seeing that too. Could be a mistake? We'll see.

>>106899283
Get W11 Enterprise and use atlasos.net on it

>>106891225
EnterpriseS is just an internal name for the LTSC version, it has nothing to do with Windows S or S Mode.

Is using LTSC worth it? I think it can potentially cause a lot of compatibility headaches in the future (i.e. games, browser)
Wouldn't a debloated Enterprise edition be more suitable for most users?

nah i'd bet evertything this is a scare tactic as that reddit user said, they will rollback later saying "whoopsie" meanwhile half of all companies still on W10 in the world will have updated their shit to W11 just in case

Dude, they are under contract with the ltsc versions. If they're doing "scare tactics" to businesses under contract and causing chaos and disruption on purpose they should be sued. There's probably important systems shut down today while the companies are trying to figure this out.

And i don't need to tell you how much they win by accelerating W11 adoption worldwide like this

>>106899976
You're right...
We need a windows clone. The ReactOS people failed really hard, they're also cucks who refuse to look at the leaked source code for xp or take any help from ex microscoft employees.
We have until 2032 for someone to make a genuine windows clone. Lightweight and open source. I can't do it, I hope someone else can. Massive opportunity here for someone that can pull it off.

how do you guys organize your files? i'm so used to hoarding stuff in my downloads folder but i just did a fresh install and want to keep things neat this time around

>>106900175
Just buy external backup drives. Any time you're about to reformat put anything that's on your c drive you want to keep on the backup drive, name the file "backup" with the date or something like that.
I keep downloads in a downloads folder, documents in a documents folder, stuff that was on my desktop in a desktop folder, etc etc.
If you are also using internal backup drives, always unplug them when you're reformatting then plug them back in with the OS is cleanly installed.

>>106900175
i create subcategories and forget they exist and then re-create them and have the same category of file spread across multiple folders

Boomer tech. I bet you don't know how to log into anything either then because you "forgot the password".

>>106897621
Unless you want to reinstall win7 too it will be much easier to just leave it on the old drive. You can fairly easily set your user folders to be on the new drive so if it does die you won't lose any data

Now what guys?
Should I be scared?

>>106902178
You should, but not for that reason.
It will update like always.

>>106901538
Could I not just clone it to a new partition on the new drive? I heard in several places you could do something like that. It didn't occur to me I could do the user folders thing. Thank you.

>>106902178
Brown jeets at microsoft rolled this message out for every edition of windows 10 because they're retarded. If you're on ltsc you're still getting updates.

>>106902421
I am on 10 pro and installed ESU through massgrave, is it fine and just a cosmetic retardation, or is ESU trick failing already?

>>106902522
yeah see picrel, should be in OP

I have annoying programs that detect if I'm using a business edition of windows and immediately assume I'm a business user and refuse to launch (think what teamviewer does for example). I was thinking of using win11 education instead : can someone confirm that it's basically the exact same as an enterprise version?
And no for this pc in particular I don't use the lstc version.

>>106902416
>Could I not just clone it to a new partition on the new drive?
You could, you would just have to be careful with your bootloaders because I assume your Win7 install will be BIOS but a standard Win11 install is UEFI and you can't mix the two on the same drive.

It is certainly possible to get the two on a single drive but first you should check if your Win7 install is BIOS or UEFI, then make sure to install Win11 matching (format your install USB to match, its not an option during install) and then maybe still have to reinstall your Win7 bootloader if the Win11 install automatically overwrites it.

can you really activate office 365 with massgrave?
you would think a service that requires you to be logged in and pay a monthly subscription would be more secure.

I saw two fwt, I post in the one without the ugly jew in the OP or whatever the fuck that OP posted.

Do the settings that ShutUp10 sets also get reflected in Group Policy?

looks like M$ decided to cripple files preview in Windows explorer. Now all downloaded files show pic rel message when trying to preview them. if you go to file properties and "unlock" it, the preview starts working again but I dont feel like doing it for every single new file i am saving. some jap managed to fix previewing files on his NAS by adding IP address to the trusted zone in internet options but i couldnt make it work for local files. is there any way to fix it without rolling back the update?

>>106905208

>>106902570
Just got a windows update 5 mins ago. It didn't download anything but the windows update tab now displays the "you are up to date" message instead of the "your version has reached the end of support".
Tried to manual update just 20secs ago and it worked fine. Again nothing was downloaded but the message that was displayed was the correct one.
It seems Microsoft stealthily fixed it. You all should be getting the update in the next hours for sure.

>>106905489
Isn't that only 21H2 though?

>>106905494
yes

I STILL DON'T HAVE AN ESU ENROLMENT OPTION IN WINDOWS UPDATE

I HAD TO CLICK THIS LINK TO FORCE ESU ENROLMENT: ms-settings:windowsupdate-esu?OCID=WEB_EOS_CY25_ESU&source=WEB

FUCK MICROSOFT

>>106905377
Well it's not like we can't just have two. Freetards are sperging making 200 daily Windows threads already anyway.

I have Win 10 pro as OS and wanted to get the ESU through massgrave as well, can I stay on 10 pro or should I switch to 10 iot ltsc?

>>106906587
You can just run the TSforge module of MAS to get the three years.

>>106906592
nice, thanks anon

>>106906723
After you've done that, just run "slmgr /xpr" in a command prompt to check that the ESU licenses are set and activated (Year1/2/3/6)

>>106899755
D00D, pajeets don't care about lawsuits

>>106906735
>just run "slmgr /xpr" in a command prompt to check that the ESU licenses are set and activated (Year1/2/3/6)
not that anon, but can't this also be checked with option 6 from the MAS menu when you run the irm command in Powershell? I used that to check and it listed Year1/2/3/6 as permanently activated (alongside the w10 edition and office info). Is that good enough or does slmgr /xpr give additional info?
I apologize if this question is retarded.

>>106907121
slmgr is just Windows's own license checker script. If MAS has something like it within it that's all good too.

I activated ESU via TSforge and in Windows Update it says that my device has reached end of support. Is this my or Microsoft's fuck up? Or is it best to wait it out until mid-November to see if it will change?

>>106907170
MS fuck up. The massgrave docs say that you can safely ignore that.

>>106892593 (OP)
There was already a thread you fucking moron

Is it possible to entirely replace Windows 11 icons with Windows 10 icons?

the fucking activation garbage pastebin has a github embed with a trojan
fuck op

>>106896137
Do you like their broken start menu that apparently causes frequent bugs and won't be fixed?
Thank god the steam deck now forces game devs to cater to Linux or we'd have nothing but win11 hell. None of the AAA games that require win11 are any good. It's usually the shittest franchise slop out there.

>>106907247
Elaborate?

>>106907247
The fuck are you crying about, anon. What link has the "trojan" in it.

>>106907261
i might just be retarded o algo but something i clicked from here gave me this

>>106907383
Say what it was, anon. You don't need to be a tease about it. If anything it was most likely a false positive.

>>106907383
not elaborating either fuck you all faggots

So if a corporation switched all of their system to 10 on the basis on MS selling 10 as the "final version" and the security is absolutely necessary to use win 10, is MS liable to being sued for a consumer law contravention by taking away something that renders the product not fit for purpose?
If security is not absolutely necessary to use win 10, why sell and promote it as such and is that false advertisement in itself?

>>106907247
It's probably just the cops running 4chan trying to install malware in your machine.

>>106907997

>>106904137
Thanks, noted!

Ugh why are there two threads? Anyway..

Frens, im having issues installing W10 or W11 LTSC Iot on my Thinkpad that i just bought for 100 $. Basically when i try a clean install it reaches the account creation setting, i want a local one so i just enter my name, password and three security questions. Then it tells me "Something went wrong" with no further explanation. I tried this with W10 and W11 both with the same outcome. What am I doing wrong?

>>106909734
You should install 10 IoT LTSC and use default options with rufus, it does not ask for an account.

>>106909734
the usual OP has autism and split the thread when someone else made one before him because he was late

Very weird issue, have you tried installing Home/Pro? I doubt it's a LTSC problem but it may as well be. As the other anon says, if you used rufus and modified it to not ask for an online account, it could cause conflict in LTSC because it werks a bit differently.

>>106909853
>>106909876
The default option is having everything ticked right? I tried that at first and its the same issue. I thought maybe its a region issue but even when selecting the keyboard as default English (US) the problem prevails. Something must be wrong with the hardware, does Secure Boot need to be enabled? Its disabled.

what framework to make good looking windows 11 desktop apps, quickly?

Some programs detect the edition and if they see you're in enterprise you are redirected to different payment tiers.
