I've spent the last few days wandering through the maze of threads and advices on installing Windows 10 Ent LTSC, and I'm totally lost as to what to do next. I have no intention of creating my own Windows 10 deployment package with a few options available, of that I am sure, I just want to clean install, configure it to my taste and needs and make an image using, for example Macrium in order to be able to start from the scratch on my hardware in the future if necessary. So please advise on what to do next? 1) Installation - without Internet connection (I'm here right now) 2) Activation - with abbodi or massgravel script - which one to choose? Does it matter which one I use? 3) Telemetry removal - change the group policy to switch off the telemetry, (?) - how can I do this? Should I use some script or just built-in Windows policy group manager? 4) Windows bloatware removal - remove some Windows 10 bloatware, which one you recommend to get rid-off in the first place? Which tool / script to use on the live system (while being still off the Internet) 5) ?... 6) ?... 7) Disk Image - prepare disk image for possible future recovery - I'm going to use Macrium software 8) Updates and drivers - switch to updates manual mode, how? Than connect to the Internet for the very first time and download all (?) the updates and drivers, after this step I'm going to prepare the second disk image. 8) Use Windows 10 - enjoying the clean and safe Windows 2021 LTSC as if nothing happened 9) IoT version - convert to IoT version if needed for even longer M$ support - how? which tool / script to use? Thank you all in advance for your tips and advices. I don't know if I will be able to edit this post, if so, I will be adding more information to it as things develop BTW, I know this thread https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/mdl-quick-links-faqs-2.72209/ but still the myriad of options overwhelm me... ;(
How can i add a new thread post in a windows 10 and windows 11 section ?. i don't have this option or i can't see it .
small lifehack how to convert the original image ltsc 2021 to IoT Enterprise: Just add this PID.txt file in to the original image in the Source folder
I'm a bit lost too, what kdu or .cab, uup, I need to add just what is necessary with M10UI to update an Enterprise LTSC 2021 21h2 ISO 19044.2846 to switch to the latest version 22H2 and the past in IOT Enterprise LTSC with its latest updates juin 2024 to integrate in my ISO ?
In the first post of this thread there is a link to Enthousiast's updates list, here is the link (at the moment): https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...h1-22h2-vb_release.80763/page-16#post-1571109 If you follow the hints written there, they say that for LTSC edition, you don't need to integrate/install the OOBE updates (there are 2 of them), and the Win10 22H2 Enablement Package (LTSC is only 21H2, and however 22H2 is the same as 21H2, no relevant differences, it's just a label). So, the updates you need to install/integrate are: a- LCU b*- NDP 35-48 (.NET 4.8 security update) c- Critical DU for .NET35 d- DU for SafeOS e- DU for Sources optional- Windefender & Antimalware Platform Update dism cab (useless if you plan to install a different antivirus) * If you want, instead of installing the b update, skip it and integrate: - NDP481 Base (to upgrade .NET 4.8 to 4.8.1) - NDP 35-481 (.NET 4.8.1 security update) - NDP481 LPs (.NET 4.8.1 language pack, integrate it only if your ISO language is different than english) Then put all the downloaded updates in the same folder of W10UI.cmd and follow the W10UI instructions. If your ISO is the regular LTSC edition (non-IoT), install it and then you can easily convert to IoT LTSC edition using massgravel.
I believe it was tested and it didn't skip it anymore, will test later when i feel better and my connection is fixed tomorrow morning but for IoT Enterprise 2024 ltsc all works fine: all these skus work with setupcomplete.cmd and oobe.cmd: Code: 1. "Win 11 (24H2) Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000)" 2. "Win 11 (24H2) Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP)" 3. "Win 11 (24H2) Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - KMS_VL_ALL)" 4. "Win 11 (24H2) Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - Online KMS)" 5. "Win 11 (24H2) Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - KMS38)" 6. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000)" 7. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP)" 8. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - HWID)" 9. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - KMS_VL_ALL)" 10. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - Online KMS)" 11. "Win 11 (24H2) IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC x64 MUI (26100.1000 - MRP - KMS38)" My main advise was to install the normal enterprise 2021 LTSC and switch by key afterwards.
Yes, it's fixed since W11 22H2 and might be fixed with LCU for W10 check updated install.wim: \Windows\System32\oobe\windeploy.exe
I just checked my releases: Code: 1. "Win 10 (21H2) Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123)" 2. "Win 10 (21H2) Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP)" 3. "Win 10 (21H2) Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP - KMS38)" 4. "Win 10 (21H2) Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP - O365 - OHook)" 5. "Win 10 (21H2) IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123)" 6. "Win 10 (21H2) IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP)" 7. "Win 10 (21H2) IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP - HWID)" 8. "Win 10 (21H2) IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC en-US (19044.4123 - MRP - O365 - OHook)" It runs setupcomlete.cmd in IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC too.
