    So, I'm looking to install 11 ltsc, hoping to do so as an upgrade from 10 ltsc. Possible..??
    I have grabbed "26100.1.240331-1435.ge_release_CLIENT_ENTERPRISES_OEM_x64FRE_en-us" is that the one...??

    Also, is "KMS_VL_ALL - Smart Activation Script" still the way to go..??

    Thanks.

    To activate use kms_vl_all or massgrave

    Is one better than the other..?? I have used kms_vl_all before albeit with 10 but it worked flawlessly...

    Thanks.

    KMS_VL_ALL = KMS only, MAS has HWID, online KMS and KMS38, not to be discussed here in detail.

    Will definitively take a look in, thanks :)

    Ahh this one.. yea, so rarely I open it, maybe its possible to remove them with some registry entries either.
    Would like to have the old good volume mixer there instantly instead of all the crap there, Win7 was a masterpiece ngl.
    (Funny enough I just have seen win7 still getting some updates till 2026.Thought 2023 was absolute final end, seems not, lol)
    (POSready, but there are some ways to get them into your normal enterprise, as it was possible for windows XP till 2019)

    Yep, that should be. Well right now I'm close... some minor random tasks doing 0,1%, Librewolf (Browser) any around 5%, - AMD 8x3,8.
    Taskmanager, "System" and svc-host "sysmain" (whatever it does) has random spikes up to 1,x%s depending, but rest is 0.
    Just probably ive a lot of event viewer errors and all that stuff haha, even without further heavy removes system is already an undead monster :D

    Could trim down the drivers to 8GB now, just taking Storage and Ethernet, probably below 1GB.
    Although the nvidia one my own machine takes me 1.7, gonna exclude this stuff either.
    Nvclean one of the first things running on machine, no big deal.

    mind if I ask for a direct link download for KB5041587 on this build ? iot enr ltsc 24H2 26100.1457
    all updates installed, minus optional KB5041865
    I just disabled secure boot to hunt gaming performance on zen3, wil re-enable it. no linux installed.
    I see no point since all I do is game.

    With regard to ongoing 24H2 development...

    Don't fool yourself. Windows 11 development is currently continuing down a negative road for consumers and businesses alike. MSFT is likely to continue to develop code for the "efficiency" cores and "NPU" subprocessors in Intel CPUS to fulfill their profit-making agendas. There's little we can do about that. You can remove as many background apps and drivers as you want. But anyone who continues to deploy Windows 11 variants should do it with their eyes open to the possibility that their loss of privacy is continuing to deteriorate.

    KB5041587 is not for 24H2 as that one is meant for 22H2/23H2

    What is your point of view with Windows 11 23H2?

    So far I consider that 23H2 is a bit more stable than 22H2 (from my perspective) but I would like to hear a second opinion.

    I consider that 24H2 is still a long way from being able to be used on a daily basis, I am more interested in Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2.

    The PRO version of 24H2 does not attract my attention, I suppose that in LTSC 24H2 it will be a bit more adaptable to low-resource hardware.

    it's the same builds, all ltsc builds are the same as pro or something
    there is no magic and there never has been, if you want to remove some stuff then you could do it on any edition

    the point of LTSC is to never upgrade it in a production environment, nothing else
