    There has been no win 7 ultimate equivalent since win 8. LTSC is basically regular windows enterprise 10/11 with no MS store & no UWP apps pre-installed.

    You mean windows pro because win 7 home was pretty lacking in features.

    What about Pro Workstation's supposed better file system and supposed larger max ram capability? If these things are true then is Pro Workstation similar server?

    could someone summarize whats up with the explorer / recall problems?
    i have read not only in here but on bigger news sites that there is a problem with a crashing explorer when disabling recall. (not only on LTSC)
    as far as i know LTSC has recall disabled by default? so do you get crashes with your explorer? is that a thing?

    i really don't want to mess with my stable windows 10 ltsc installation just to get a buggy mess. i thought it would be kinda stable, the explorer should work without any issues.
    if its just a few games bugging out on the latest update thats fine, but not the explorer.

    alright, thank you!
    guess that means, wait till its fixed, if it will get fixed ever?
    i don't want to mess the ISO and i don't want to use recall, which means my explorer would crash then, if i don't want to use the old one right?

    just don't want to lose my current windows 10 ltsc install, for something broken, just to install 10 again afterwards.

    Tried to update from latest w10 ltsc to w11 ltsc, in the end did a rollback! It took less than 4 minutes to revert back to familiar and stable OS.
    Was not fiddling with Recall though, yet my explorer crashed few times, not only that - restarting explorer.exe in task manager did NOT brought back missing taskbar, so had to quit user session and login. That's... signs of a very raw OS.
    My bad, that I tried to update so early, in just two weeks since release. Maybe it'll be fixed.
    But I also have noticed that the system lags. Not sure if updates can fix the lags, especially if this is "planned obsolescence" (I am on i5-10600kf and 3070 btw + ssd, imagine lags kekw).
    In the end didn't liked W11 system, in virtualbox it looked kinda clever, on real hardware no wow effect...

    am considering options.

    win11 iot ltsc vs win10 iot ltsc

    so far from googling, 10 seems more favored. i'd like to hear peoples pros and cons of 11 over 10 here. (especially upsides)

    Anyone have a script or method (that is not too complicated) to upgrade 10 Pro to 11 LTSC ?

    If this does not offer to keep all, then use the tool at the OP of the linked thread,

    Hello,
    I'm an amateur and just want to make sure.
    If I want a clean install with my native languange OS, first I have to install the non-IoT LTSC version in my language, for example:
    460e7394a9733f074dafa79d32390c9911f80a12e692ec54d13f35cc29cdaa22 *nl-nl_windows_11_enterprise_ltsc_2024_x64_dvd_e3063aab.iso
    Then simply change to IoT with key and I'm fine for the next 10 years, right?

    Ja/Yes, that should be fine (you can switch license by key or simply use MAS extras, change edition.

    Or just use activate by HWID which automatically changes the edition to the IoT LTSC, no need for the extra step.

    No need to tell me, tell him, i just answered the specific question.

    There is also KMS_VL_ALL working in the desired SKU.

    Hi guys, is the latest Windows Server 2025 released ISO (Build - 26100.1742) the final build? If yes, why can't I find any official announcement from MS?

    EDIT: So apparently this is an EVAL build that is supposed to be the final released version, but being EVAL, it cannot be activated?

    This is not the server 2025 thread, the latest is not eval.

    This is the server 2025 thread and the answer to your question:
