It’s installed on one machine, finds and installs drivers. (I just don’t understand what does BIOS have to do with it? Windows never installs it)
Are there any updates for 26100.1? In patch Tuesday I only received the Malicious and Defender updates.
Got a question do you have to reinstall the windows 11 ltsc every time there's an update or can you update to next version? I currently don't have windows 11 ltsc installed but downloading the newest iso to try it out & if I can just leave it installed that would be great lol.
Just run setup.exe to upgrade. I went from the 2021 version to this one and it's working out great. All my apps and files were untouched. I did make have backup before upgrading, just to be safe.
Fresh installed this version on my main desktop. It's so much more snappier than the previous 23H2 version on the same computer. Everything installed and updated smoothly without any hiccups. Office365Enterprise also installs and works perfectly. Guess this will be my main OS for at least 2-3 years until the next LTSC version comes out.
I installed it in my computer days ago, is very good, but I will wait for the official release, now I will install 11 23H2 Pro (with the RegEdit trick on setup works well) and because i use some programs from the store
Has anyone tested installing it on ReFS partition? Are there any known limitations or drawbacks? I tested it on VMware ESXi 8.0, and it seemed easy to install on ReFS. I simply booted the ISO, selected Repair instead of install, and using CMD, I ran diskpart, converted the disk to GPT and created a partition, leaving 10GB unpartitioned for the various EFI partitions etc that need to be made by the installer, formatted the partition as ReFS, rebooted and selected the ReFS partition during the install and it off it went and installed without any issues.
What the heck this means? Filesystems require a decade to start thinking if it "works fine". And even if it was the case using it for the OS, would be stupid anyway.
I installed purposely the build 25941, after all the troubles introduced after Server 26085 and LTSC 26100, and the problems disappeared (as expected). The placebo effect of a speedy new version after a fresh install, is a thing since the days of DOS.
Well, I haven't tested it yet using the system to see what problems there will be, but I'll test it eventually.
The problems are clear before you start testing (and that works for any new FS, like bcachefs). Lack of backward compatibility, impossible to share the data with an older Windows, or a different OS. Which is a big NO for multiple boot configuration. Lack of recovery tools, partitioning programs, low level utilities that understand the new FS Lack of general knowledge (including from the official support) in troubleshooting problems Then no matter how you put it, a supposedly safer FS is slower. NTFS is slower than Fat32, Fat32 is slower than Fat16, Ext4 is slower than Ext2, and so on. But at least in the above case NTFS brought real improvements over FAT, in Linux Btrfs or ZFS brought compression, deduplication, snapshots and other goodies that make them worth on various scenarios. ReFS *Lacks* features over previous FS, albeit some of them seem to be slowly reintroduced (like compression, encryption, deduplication and so on) The above are points valid assuming ReFS (or whatever new FS) are production ready, with a on disk format that will not change for the next 2/3 decades, and is mostly bugfree, and I'm afraid is not the case here.
folks, one more question please help clarify: are these any differences in terms of function/security features between the LTSC and IoT LTSC versions? At least from my understanding the Windows Copilot feature appears to be missing in the default installation of IoT LTSC but present in regular LTSC. I was under the impression that LTSC and IoT LTSC are bit-to-bit identical.
