    LTSB 1607 while still being a total BS is the least crappy Windows 10 version. Doesn't Ryzen support Windows 7 / 8.1?

    Officially, AMD does not support Ryzen CPUs on Windows 7.
    I used pro for past month its update notification is really annoying i did alot ( Group Policy, services & other registry stuff ) to turn that off but its still shows update notification & downloaded updates so im thinking about installing enterprise edition so
    Is it possible to install Enterprise edition on Laptop?
    Does it need special driver or current driver which came with laptop on windows 10 home will work just fine?
    does enterprise version need special editions of software or software which work on pro work just fine with enterprise?
    My primary use of laptop for Autodesk Maya work ( Not rendering ), Games & Movie watching so i want windows 10 with all bells n whistles with search but without cortana & telemetry Sh*t so which version of windows 10 enterprise should i use?
    Can i disable auto update in windows 10 enterprise?

    There are no windows 10 edition specific drivers, so what works on pro will also work on home or enterprise.

    I don't get why people think they don't need updates, but am not going into that again.

    Win 10 now is Home, and pro, all others are virtual editions and just a license switch apart from eachother.

    Several time MS mess up system during update that's why i usually install major update ( ie. 1703, 1809 ) after 4 to 5 month of release so majority of bugs gets cleaned up by then that's why i don't prefer quick or auto updates.
    Which is better, Enterprise, Enterprise LTSB, Enterprise LTSC? (My primary use of laptop for Autodesk Maya work ( Not rendering ), Games & Movie watching so i want windows 10 with all bells n whistles with search but without cortana & telemetry Sh*t so which version of windows 10 enterprise should i use?)
    Can i disable auto update in windows 10 enterprise?

    What are you saying friend tech sites n forums are buzzing with news of windows 10 update mess when major update gets released. lets just ignore all that i want to update the system whenever i feel like updating ( Just like in Windows 7 ) i don't want ms to force their updates on me that's why i want to install enterprise. Thats why im asking knowledgeable people in community to help me choose Enterprise Edition ( Enterprise, Enterprise LTSB, Enterprise LTSC ) for my laptop

    Only problem here is MS calling them 'Feature Updates' instead of OS Upgrade, what they actually are. A system upgrade always inherits the chance of failing (with variable outcome).

    Unfortunately people confuse them with normal Security and Cumulative updates which seldomly do any harm (mostly the opposite).

    In opposite to normal editions which share a set of keys, each LTSB/C comes with it's own set. You'll need a new 'license'. KMS works though.

    LTSB/C still IS Enterprise, only differences are the licensing terms. Group Policies aren't ignored on Ent/Edu in opposite to Pro ;).

    IOT is "Internet Of Things", optimized for such embedded devices.

    How times have changed.

    When one built a PC, or bought one, new laptop etc, the only worry was doing something to mess it all up afterwards. Now it does all that on its own, beforehand, with little intervention from the user.

    Sad days.

    Sorry for the noob question, I downloaded 17763.107.101029-1455.rs5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso from tb.rg-adguard.net (Adguard's Techbench Unlocked's technet Evaluation center option) is this final version of Enterprise or there is another iso for final version plz help me. Why do we need "s1ave77s S-M-R-T SVF ISO CONVERTER v0.23.01"?.

    That's an eval version. Check the stickies in this forum for @s1ave77 's SVF thread and use his most excellent svf2iso app to convert it to SW_DVD9_Win_Pro_Ent_Edu_N_10_1809_64-bit_English_MLF_X21-96501
