Tomorrow i have an appointment with someone for whom i bought a dell laptop with a 10th or 11th gen i7 CPU, 16GB RAM and surely a TPM 2.0 last year, will see how it's setup and if it got the banner.
I know 19044.1237 is on the Insider Preview page, but I've heard people referring to it as 21H2. Is 19044.1237 an actual Insider preview (as in it enrolls you into the insider preview and has forced telemetry options out-the-box)?
When I activate IoT Enterprise with script it goes as Enterprise.. Anyone could help me to activate as IoT Enterprise?.
@PiratePaprika literally just follow the instructions in the Updates Overview post and you'll have 21H2.
Is it true that there is no way to install a 32 bit version of latest windows 10 on intel processors 7th gen & later? I know official support for 32 bit version has been dropped by MS in 2020 but I thought it might be possible to install LTSB/LTSC/older win 10 32 bit versions on 10th/11th gen intel processor. Someone I know is trying to install it on his laptop with 11th gen core i3 processor & keep getting "bootex64.efi missing" with various 32 bit versions of win 10 & 2-3 utilities incl Rufus to make bootable flash drive.
If you want to install a 32bit operating system on a modern computer, you need to Enable CSM mode / legacy boot mode on BIOS. It will remove you some features such as ability to boot from GPT formated disks, secure boot support and EFI extensions. It will also increase the boot time
Strictly "out of the box", i.e. untouched? Most certainly LTSC. This is not to say that you can't tweak any consumer version of Windows 10 to the same effect. And there is a drawback to LTSC as some games do rely on Windows Store which LTSC is "lacking" but there are workarounds for this as well. I've been using LTSC 2019 on my gaming box for years, only recently switched to Windows Server 2022 LTSC. For the best experience, however, even LTSC can do with some further tweaking but less so than "regular" Windows 10.
Windows 10 feels snappier than Windows 11... I rolled back Interest, when to expect 21H1? October, November?
Windows 11 with everything nonessential stripped out running on upcoming hardware (Intel Gen 12/Zen 4) might be better for gaming, but only if MS intentionally keeps optimizations for new hardware out of Windows 10.
Between LTSC 2019 (1809) and current Windows 10 Home/Pro (19044), you'd want Home/Pro for gaming due to the higher WDDM level support (2.7 vs 2.5 on 1809). And if you happen to have a Ryzen CPU, you get the scheduler improvements too. For LTSC 2021 and current Windows 10 Home/Pro, that's up for debate. For a long-term install for gaming, you'd still likely want Home/Pro due to any potential improvements Microsoft may release later, along with full compatibility with the MS Store for Xbox stuff. Getting current Windows 10 Home/Pro to be as-slim as LTSC is as easy as running this in PowerShell (this removes most UWP apps): Code: Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage Followed by this to reinstall MS Store afterwards: Code: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
