Convince me to use either W11 or W10 LTSC

All my experiences with W11 have sucked so far but I've mostly gotten used to it sucking, and I actually really like that I can open tabs within windows using the Windows Explorer folder viewer, and that I can use the scroll wheel to quickly move through combined windows on the taskbar

I also will be using Adobe software and as I understand it they don't work on W10 anymore, though I'm also fine just pirating the last-working version.

Is there a way to force the current version of Photoshop etc to work with W10 LTSC IOT, and/or to add tabs to the Explorer folder viewer on W10? Or if on W11, what are the the recommended tools and overhauls to make it less shit that aren't already in the OP copypasta? Are there performance differences?

Lastly I have never installed an OS before and the rentry guide is a bit much for me, is there an even simpler guide or a video tutorial? I'm actually gonna be installing it on a second drive I'd add to a laptop I may or may not return so I need to make sure I don't accididentally overwrite the default drive and it's W11 home install and that I can easily change it to boot off that again if I do return it. Similarly, any tips on finding drivers in case the laptop doesn't work right with W10 right off the bat would be nice
