    Guys, LTSB seems AWESOME, no Metro Store, no BS apps, no Cortana, old calc back (the new one su*ks big), plain simple. But I have a question: people say that LTSB won't get new "features", so something like M$ releasing a Docker integration, new File Explorer features, or any new substantial feature won't come to LTSB, right?

    The definition of "feature" is a bit dark. I wouldn't care for something minimal, little tweaks, but big (and of course, HELPFUL) features would be great. :confused:

    i have access to a upgraded windows 10 license and also to a dreamspark windows 10 pro license but still i rather want to use this LTSB edition.
    im new to this or lets say i haven't done this in a long time and only with daz loader. can someone give me the direct links to the files i need to activate this? will there be problems with my activation? do i have to reinstall at some point or even switch back to anonther version which doesn't need a kms because ms blocks something? sorry for all those questions but i really want to install this version today! thanks!

    Hey, couple things:
    1. LTSB Enterprise is a volume licensing edition. Means that you gotta either modify a 10 ISO to install LTSB instead of its default edition (there's threads on this forum), or download from a link you see (gotta have MSDN subscription to get one straight from MS)
    2. Daz's loader upgrades only work from 7 Home/Pro to 10 Home/Pro.
    3. KMS is the only way to activate LTSB, and it works for now, but if MS upgrade their KMS protocol in the future, then you'll be deactivated.

    thank you for your reply!

    i already downloaded de_windows_10_enterprise_2015_ltsb_x64_dvd_6848473.iso so this isn't the problem.
    just don't know which kms i should use and which version and where to download without catching a virus.
    when i get deactivated in the future, it will probably tell me to upgrade in so and so many days or just deativates some features? will a new kms help then or have i to reinstall if that happens? did that happend on windows 8 before and what did you do in that case?
    thank you very much!!

    Check the KMS tools subforum (8's tools work on 10, as MS haven't updated KMS protocol yet)

    As for viruses, check the SHA versus the official SHA (to make sure it's the same file).

    Or install in a virtual machine first and make sure it is what it claims it is :p.

    ok thanks again! downloaded the kms files and they gave me a virus warning but i guess they are false warnings.
    too bad i can't activate this version on a legal way... got dreamspark but no msdn.
    hope everything will work out as planed :D clean and fast windows 10 without any problems

    Antivirus programs also give warnings for keygenerators. So, as mentioned, check the SHA1.

    s1ave77 has all the links (KMSpico, DAZ Loader, MSToolkit, etc) within his signature/bottom bar section.

    Can the telemetry be disabled in LTSB via GPO?

    Good build, best of all TP's. I find administrator account to be faster, no bench but a solid snappy feel.

    Something new is always fun with the help of MDL ;).

    ^^^^ You can download all the background features you want, y?, and install them, there is an obvious workaround. That is no reason why to choose this build read the first post and make sure you do not need anything that is not available in this build, oh and note he gives the scary gaming fix now, not mine of course ;).

    There is no way at the moment maybe in the future M$ will release it as a stand alone program so you can install it.

    I have problems with videos on websites on LTSB N. Streaming videos (flv) or mp4 from tumblr for example. I'm using Flash 13 esr.
    Tried chrome (without built-in flash) and firefox. Instead of the video I only see green. Audio plays normally. Sometimes the video will show on the second play through or if i skip forward and than back.
    Do I need some media codec pack? Am I the only one with that problem?
    Is it because of the native windows mp4 support?

    probably. that is why you should never install a "N" version if you don't have to.
    i rather have a s**tty media player on my system, with everything working, then load every s**t codec from suspicious sites just to save a few mb on wmp.
    also you will get problems in games for example fifa will not start without media player installed.

    btw i still use VLC for videos and winamp for music! media player is just there to make sure the system is working out of the box like it should.

    Flash player works well on N versions.

    BTW installing the Klite codec pack is enough to play everything else
