    Which version do you recommend installing to receive updates after the end of support date?
    Official dates:
    21H2
    Pro ---> June 13, 2023
    Education, Enterprise and IoT Enterprise ---> June 11, 2024
    Enterprise LTSC ---> January 12, 2027
    IoT Enterprise LTSC ---> January 13, 2032

    22H2
    All ---> October 14, 2025

    I don't know if it is possible to install 21H2 Education updates on 21H2 Pro until 2024 or on Pro to install IoT Enterprise LTSC updates until 2032
    So which Pro version to use 21H2 or 22H2?

    I currently use LTSB 2015. Will I run out of updates on October 14, 2025 or will I be able to install updates until 2032?

    Not sure why you care about support but best get yourself 22h2 win 11 pro 22621.2283 use msmg toolkit to get rid of junk then do a few regedit tweaks and you will have ltsb 2015 just more modern

    I am on an Asus Server from 2007 with Intel Core2 Quad and 8 GiB RAM working as a desktop. It is very fast, but very complicated to install Windows Eleven.
    Starting because I have 4 operating systems on MBR disk, 2000/XP/Seven/10 and I have no space on the partition.
    Has no one looked into installing the 21H2 Education, Enterprise, IoT Enterprise updates on 21H2 Pro?

    Will we get any update tool like Simplix for Windows 10 Home users?

    install windows 10 ltsc 2019 ( update end on 2029 ) last ltsc are good but if you use ltsb 2015.. ( skip ltsb 2016 end of support 2026 )

    install net framework 4.8.0 / enable 3.5

    add directx 9 ( dxwebsetup ) enjoy good build with good compatibility with old hardware
