On the OP of the dedicated sticky Enterprise 2019 LTSC thread is a link to all info you need for fetching an Enterprise 2019 LTSC ISO. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...b-17763-xxx-pc-rs5.77945/page-51#post-1467631 When clicking that link you can find a full tutorial for using the svf files by @GezoeSloog https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-17763-xxx-pc-rs5.77945/page-312#post-1601664 My SVFSFX Repos of 17763.1 and 17763.107 are even simpler to use, put svfsfx exe patch next to mentioned EVAL source ISO and run exe, done... This all is from the 1809 sticky build thread.
Sorry man, I don't think you're understanding me.This goes over 99% of people's heads. To put it this way, I found this site (is this your site?) because I was searching the for a guide to complete one goal: obtain the most recent version .iso of LTSC 2019. I don't know what an svf file is (been using PCs for a long time, probably have seen it somewhere but never needed to know what it is), I don't know what SCFSFX Repos are, I don't know what 17763.1 is referring to, I can infer what EVAL source ISO is, and I know that 1809 refers to a build of Windows, but I don't know the significance of it. I looked at your sticky and @GezoeSloog 's posts , I don't know what checksums are, I don't know what to do with the re--release vs Feb refresh, I don't know what ESD is, I don't know what SFX is, what MCT is, what UUP is, what LP+FOD is, what MVS is, what an SHA-1 Checksum is, what SDK is, what HWID is. You get the point. My lack of background knowledge on these things means that when I click one of those links, I can't really make sense of the context of anything that's going on, and I don't really know how anything relates to each other. I hope this helps explain why people are coming here and leaving confused. I reckon I'd be able to figure it out given enough time, but lacking a comprehensive step-by-step guide, installing LTSC 2019 on my computer is turning into a difficult project without any background knowledge on this stuff. I hope you understand I'm not saying that I feel entitled to a step-by-step guide, but instead explaining why the links you've sent are too advanced for me and some others on this thread.
This proofs the point by @BAU exactly, if these terms or explanation are to difficult, either first learn by reading, investigating and deducing, adding all gathered knowledge or just use the pre-installed OS. You seem to be able to handle the english language well enough to learn instead of being instantly spoonfed at the exact level you are on.
I might have a go at trying to figure it all out if I have time this week, or maybe try OPs method. Otherwise I'll wait until someone posts a better tutorial somewhere.
Don't get me or any of us wrong, the forum is here to help us help each others, but one should make minimal effort in order to have a common ground for discussion and not repeating A For Apple, B for Ball, C for Cat every thread page. @Enthousiast puts a lot of effort into providing up to date links to everything you need to get started. Even went the trouble of creating captures of various procedures (maybe those should be added to stickies for those that grow up with youtube and can't make sense of stuff unless is a video ).
Yes, of course. Windows 10 Home and Pro are aimed at and tailored to consumers like yourself. Most stuff is automatic and you only need to use it. Running Windows 10 Home/Pro or even a Mac would be the most honest recommendation to you, without any offense. Anything above Windows 10 Pro (Enterprise and higher) is aimed at and tailored to (bigger) companies. Companies have IT administrators. Thus, these builds expect some level of knowledge from you. LTSC further adds to that, as it is a static branch, and you need to care yourself for staying up-to-date. The fun will be endless once you fall further behind the development, and less and less driver and program makers will support your Windows version. THAT's what is wrong with LTSC used by consumers.
I'm old school and used to doing all the basic stuff manually (software updates, driver installation, replacing parts, installing OS's from scratch, basic command prompt, updating BIOS firmware, etc). Just don't have a lot of the more technical knowledge you guys have. It's for my work computer that I'm trying to keep barebones, and thought it'd be fun to try out LTSC since I'm about to reinstall Windows anyway. But I'll try and figure it out using the links I was given (and I do appreciate the links).
The "Non-Noobification" actually a good thing. Takes user through the learning process where at the end you can managed to build your own ISO. Which can be good since everybody's use case or requirements are different , they can get/make exactly what they are looking for.
