Actually the Windows 10 LTSB(C), Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 does not have any bloat like regular Windows 10/11, but yes, they have telemetry, but telemetry can be disabled by using gpedit.msc, I however, does not care about telemetry, so, Windows 10 LTSB(C) and WS 2016/2019/2022 is another option to consider if you are failed to get Windows 7 and/or Windows Server 2008 R2 to work

Actually they have hidden telemetry, you can't disable all of it, and server operating systems are made for... servers not personal computers
I have the software, attempting to get it working on my Surface Pro 3, just because and just to help people who want it It does get you past the loading screen but then you are hit with the A05 acpi error. I put the patched version in, and either I get a winload.efi error or a unisigned driver error.
I'm happy you had a good experience. What computer do you have? I'm trying to run it on my Surface pro 3 and it thru the acpi bsod, I patched that and it threw a winload.efi error. I guess it is a matter of hit or miss.
well I booted 7880 on my surface pro, passes the boot screen but throws the acpi error. When I patch the error with the modified one posted in this forum it then throws a winload efi error
Server OS becomes a server when you enable the OPTIONAL server roles. If you don't, they are just debloated OSes. Once Win server lacked codecs and a bunch of client codecs/drivers, but since WHS 2007/2011, all Servers Essentials or with the essentials role enabled and all Servers since 2016 lacks practically nothing. WMC was the only notable exception given no server had it, but this is a problem solved since 2015. Perhaps a lot of server features/roles comes really handy for personal use, like deduplication, lan routing, WSUS, VPN and so on In short Servers used as clients have really really few disadvantages and A LOT of advantages, at least for people who cares about lightness, privacy, stability.
