    Sorry to be asking such a lame question, but I'm a retired PC guy who's spent far too much time on Windows 7 and am now totally out of sync with the best version of 10 to install on a new build.
    Whichever version I choose, I'd want to activate it, debloat it then turn off Windows Updates.
    It seems my best choices might be either Pro or Enterprise.
    LTSC looks uncluttered, but I gather that the current version is rather old now?
    Any advice will be much appreciated.

    which features u liked in windows 7 ?
    mb it will help u decide which is better for u

    im on old windows 10 1607 ltsb, which i like cos there still old menu and settings around and the explorer infrastructure is stable
    but sometimes can be problematic with games , new HW might not supported in this version

    windows ltsc 2019 is better in same areas like in games compatibility and less bloat
    have less experience with this OS

    windows 10 2004 is better for games but bloated
    and still new OS can be buggy sometimes

    You have to ask for the best windows but you already know about the "debloat" needs.

    LTSC is now almost 3 years behind in development.
