Download the Permalink for both x64 and x86 - no, WU don't offer VC++ redist - yes - no need (my.visualstudio.com need account though, Free is enough in this case)
abbodi, you are quite literally a legend! You helped me years ago, more than once, and on different sites. I am so glad you are still around! And thanks for this quick info! It is what I thought, but wanted confirmation!
LTSC = regular Windows just with little to no contents inside \Program Files\WindowsApps. You could turn your non-LTSC Windows 10/11 to be LTSC-like just by deleting that folder (either via debloat script, delete directly from WinPE, or modifying the ISO before installation). No need to reinstall unless you care much about "LTSC" brand to appear in winver or System > About.
...and miss the security updates after 2025? Choosing LTSC isn't about the brand, what if Pro gets a forced W11 feature update or nag screen, and what about setting the telemetry level?
How to deal wih telemetry? Disable some startup/scheduled tasks, use firewall to prevent Windows stuffs from phoning their home. Updates after 2025? This forum is infamous for bypassing extended updates anyway.
Obviously there is no point installing flavors meant for the cattle over LTSB/C or Server , but a "ghetto LTSB" is still better than nothing.
It appears ARM64 IoT Windows 10 LTSC is no longer download available as ISO from pixeldrain. Where do we get most recent ISO for that now?
Thank you. No seeds as yet. The pixeldrain dl is also gone for this and I think you must have given torrent due to this being the case @Ace2.
