I have a low end pc, my specs are i3 2nd gen, 8gb ram and 500gb HDD My question is whether I should install IOT enterprise or Pro? I just need performance only
Why not test yourself? I ran the benchmarks with (iirc) 1809 all SKUs, including 2019 LTSC and there was no significant difference in performance between all SKUs of that release. Mostly older builds run faster because they are, basically, old, from the time that windows didn't consume so much resources and because the only still supported older builds are LTSB/C they are promoted to be used on older systems. But your system should be able to run 24H2 when a ssd is uses as systemdisk.
So you mean apart from using SSD, whether I install Windows 11 Pro or IOT Enterprise there is no change in performance?
Integration of any langpack with original en-us ISO is good if someone would like to install OS on numerous machines... But if you want to install it on a couple of your PCs, IMHO, that"s waste of time and might be complicated for unexperienced users ... In this case using PowerShell after installation is a best way... And gives 100% translation result... I think just for OS installation knowledge of English is enought for any MDL user...
If your motherboard is compatible with 24H2 better to install IoT LTSC... But for good performance SSD is a must for Win 11 running...
Been testing 24h2 both iot and pro over and over again for days trying to tweak it to save max space and ram and i could never create out of it anything better than 22h2. 24h2 sounds new, sounds better but fact is that theres nothing usefull for an average user added over 22h2 and performance over 22h2 are much worse. 24h2 both iot and pro are just useless crap, one of the reasons is because of microsoft added many new useelss packages like Aix making sure an average user wont remove them. if youre on older cpu get yourself 22h2 22621.2283 decrapify it using msmg toolkit do few regedit tweaks and i guarantee it will run much better than any 23h2 or 24h2 on any pc
Ltsc 2019 is the perfect system for me..not so heavy and running well on 3 years machine..I tried ltsc 2016, but haven't drivers for motherboard due to too much recent.
When on 2016 ltsb it was using 1gb ram right after boot but no dark mode etc. Win 11 22h2 22621.2283 uses 1.6gb ram after boot and just as snappy as ltsb 2016, I mean after I tweaked it a bit. Been running it on I5 750 from 2009 hhd gtx 660 to see how it performs no issues at all.
Been using every single os since ltsb 2015. And yes I been testing how fast each performs on the same machine different partitions. Removed whatever I could out of 24h2 and it's not only about ram but also apps startup even browser starts faster on 22h2 As to hardware cpu I5 12400f rtx 3060 and gtx 1060 16gb DDR 4 ssds some 8tb screen 65" so I guess that's more than enough for 24h2. 24h2 doesn't run smooth see event viewer and task manager processes does cpu go to 0 when you stop using mouse? It doesn't nor do interrupts. 24h2 is usable but its worse than 22h2 in performance on any pc. I have got also old pc with I5 from 2009 and as said earlier tweaked 22h2 was running on it no issues
Can you plz share those tweaks, I need to fresh install 24H2 on my older i3 2nd gen with 8gb ram pc. But your posts have changed my mind and I am now planning to install 22H2 on my older machine. Please pm me if you can not share here
I can give you my own win11 backup.wim so you can restore it on your pc using for example dism++ it takes few min. You will need to install drivers for your own chipset and gpu, then format your drive and install 24h2 iot ltsc and simply compare both. Then if youre happier with 22h2 go here https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/msmg-toolkit.50572/page-1358 Then few pages back I have posted most of the things I did to my os
