Windows 10 LTSB

Hi Jow Forums, i plan to go with Windows 10 LTSB route. I'm too dependent on Windows programs (games, music production) and too noob to use Linux.

My question is: what are the pros and cons?

I did some researching and not having Edge, Cortana, Xbox and Microsoft store all seem like pros, even oldschool image viewer and calculator are great.
I'm more worried about certain programs not working, related to workstation music producing use and gaming. Is there something missing in LTSB limiting it in doing those things? Some kind of service maybe, or driver support?

Also, how to acquire it? Are there pirated versions/torrents/etc, i'm a poorfag.

Thanks

Also, would KMS work with licensing LTSB version?

Everything works outside Windows "Metro" Apps that need the Store, etc.

I think NVIDIA stopped supporting LTSB 2015, but LTSB 2016 is fine, I use it since release.

Nice, i despise metro shit. I'll be using gtx 570 so i use old drivers anyway

I say install 1804 and use these.

nice, i'll use that on my win10 laptop immediately. And i know this is a stupid question, but how the hell do i install github apps? I swear i'm not stupid, i've just started lurking, please help

These are basically scripts and most of them have exetuable or a guide.. The green button has an arrow use that to download zip or read descriptions for release and you kinda sound inept like this board so here's an easier option oo-software.com/en/shutup10

Find the releases rap and download and unzip the archive. Also read the README.

I have LTSB 2016 on several devices with legit licenses aquired off ebay (reselling software is a right in the EU). the only bearable version of windows 10.

Ltsb is fine. Some programs that require specific versions of windows may not work but I still haven't come upon one(mainly cause I still use older versions of programs I regularly use)

The one issue I had initially was that I was required to use Skype for work. By default it now requires you to install from the store. Found an older installer and it's working fine now.

thanks, will check out that

Btw, later this year will be released LTSB2019, as both 2015 and 2016 are buggy as hell.

ltsb is a meme imo

You won't get LTSB from there.

>HURRDURR LTSB I DUN LIKE APPXPACKAGES

github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

fucking retard

>bhop script
opinion discarded

doing that right now, other user suggested it as well...

Yeah true

LTSB doesn't support Linux subsystem which I'd like as a developer. Also, using a loader/KMS to pirate the license is Russian botnet.

I was able to get a free Win10 license tied to my machine when I upgraded from pirated Win7 back when M$ gave them out so I just use that.

You can use the Linux subsystem on LTSB 2016. KMS activation is not "botnet", it's official way of activating any VL Windows, including Server.

i heard it's not open-source either, so i guess there may be something bad in it

for some reason i couldn't activated my ltsb 2016 before. i don't have a clue what is the problem. is this works, can someone comfirm?

Are you 13? The source code for KMS is on Github check it out it yourself

Why is /g so ignorant?

Do you need a special key for LTSB installs or can you use a standard win 10 key? (or even a 7 key).

>Why is /g so ignorant?
Because it's full of 14 years old tablet kids who believe in anti-piracy propaganda spewed by their favourite YouTube minecraft stars

Also there's a couple scripts out there to add Xbox app and the Windows store to LTSB that I've used. Couldn't get Linux sub system to work try but haven't tried in a while after the last couple updates so maybe that's working too. I've been running the same install since 2016 and never understood why people hated w10. Just use it for gaymen but it's justwerked® for that just fine for me so fuck it

First, make sure you have the VL iso I posted here: and not the EVAL build.

Then, you can try this:
>disconnect from the internet
>restart
>delete "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Toolkit\"
>run MTK (latest version) as admin

For anyone curious its there on my digital life forum

fuck xbox and windows store

Dumb cuck. You don't need enterprise grade software on your fapmachine.

Get Windows 7, activate with Daz, then upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free.

you don't get me, i want windows for games and music production, but with minimal bloatware and privacy issues. Going enterprise seems like a best option in that case, OR using github stuff on regular windows 10 like some anons mentioned

>Just use it for gaymen
Why any version of Windows 10 though? There is no difference in gaming performance between Windows 7 and 10.
youtu.be/JwHcOGDHKGM
youtu.be/kQrpf5s42gY

maybe longer support for 10?

I do understand you're a lazy fag.

Biting the forbidden fruit will bite you back. Learn to harness your OS, just like you would harness your household. Learn best practices (like disconnecting ethernet until you install updates), and find the right registry fixes.

Windows LGBT version is suscription based.
>inb4 kms stealing niggers

>disconnecting ethernet
>youtube.com/watch?v=3spnGnavWFg
Also, i don't want to "harness" 10.000 metro apps that i won't ever use, and "harness" telemetry caused processor spikes. You're right about registry fixes (and github scripts), i just thought LTSB is the easy way out of that bullshit

>i just thought LTSB is the easy way out of that bullshit
Until Microsoft shuts up KMS hacks forever and you're left with limited functionality. Better do it right the first time.

I switched to LTSB couple months after Jow Forums memed it so hard. Its nice, nothing too special. At least it avoids all that current bs MS keeps adding to 10. The whole "game" mode was bothering me and it was nice to rid it with LTSB. Heres what I used to get LTSB.

reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/6dvkbt/full_guide_installing_activating_windows_10_ltsb/

Although It looks like its been removed now. Anyone else know of another guide?

You can disable installation of metro apps with this script.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager]
"ContentDeliveryAllowed"=dword:00000000
"SilentInstalledAppsEnabled"=dword:00000000
"SoftLandingEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent]
"DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures"=dword:00000001

Doesn't work anymore jus tried this week

i'm using regular win10 home which is KMS-ed so i'd be fucked either way

yeah, i saw that guide before making a thread. And the "nothing special" is exactly what i'm looking for

This and I have AMD so pretty sure W10 is required for Vulkan

I agree with this sentiment. However I was testing it for Netflix and to see if I could buy Forza Horizon 3. Which unfortunately neither of them work so fuck all that I guess.

Worked for me. You did something wrong

just get enterprise or education and disable update if you don't want to update windows

I suggest finding the toolkit to activate LTSB. I don't know what everyone else suggesting but the toolkit is a ton easier. Took me awhile to find a download for it but its out there. I also use these to get rid of bloat
winprivacy.de/english-home/
oo-software.com/en/shutup10
and ccleaner to rid of bs apps/leftovers I don't desire.

your opinion is worthless because you are retarded, kys

game mode isn't on by default and therefore wouldn't be affecting any of your games
nice placebo though, seems to be really common with gamers.

Yeah, but ... you're going to run a KMS server for a single device?

talking about the game bar that runs every time you open a game or a game like app asking me if I want to broadcast and shit. The game performance thing was a nice idea, but the bloat it comes with no way.

applies to this entire thread

What's better:

Server
Education
Enterprise (only version that can LTSB afaik)

I use Education personally

education and non LTSB enterprise is the same shit

that's literally just one toggle and it goes away forever
although idk i use it for screenshots and clips all the time

It hides, but its not gone.

Education because it's free with enterprise options. No need for kms, toolkit, etc.
Y-You have gone to school r-right user?

yes it is, it doesn't work at all with it toggled off
you're probably actually wanting to reference the way they've changed how apps display, which has also impacted games obviously

Don't listen to this guy, all those tools will just break the os

>W10 is required for Vulkan
Nope my clueless user, W10 is required for Dx12.
AMD gives gfx drivers for Vulkan (10% more fps in Doom4 fyi).

Also don't be retarded, don't use Russian viruses like kms to activate your shit
Either buy it or use Linux

idk I've "turned it off" numerous times before and occasionally it'll pop back up. LTSB just made getting rid of everything easier.

Uh it's not really a problem is it... what's stopping you from running it in a VM and booting it up when you need to refresh the license

so

Whats good and whats bad? Any other recommendations?

I go to college but I live in Europe and I'm not sure how to get it for free

they give out Microsoft Office for free though, how do I get Education for free?

this shit will break your OS, disable updates and give you errors everyday

>all that stupid shit
nigger just use lunix or 10 ltsb clean

Use fucking Pro, user. Stop being a retard.

>have ltsb
>activate windows watermark won't disappear
really makes me think...

You can choose to not let it disabled updates you know, still get updates whenever they release and never have issues with everything disabled.
>10 ltsb clean
Where is that? Or do you just mean ltsb? Because even ltsb has shit needing to be disabled.

Have you tried activating it dumbass?

onthehub.com/windows-10-education-for-students/
or
imagine.microsoft.com/catalog/webstore

I think, unless they have a different process in europe.

no, of course not. the problem is it randomly turns on and off on boot sometimes

>Or do you just mean ltsb?
yes
>Because even ltsb has shit needing to be disabled
which can be easily done with GPOs, you have a GUI and everything. There's no point in adding extra third party botnet to an already botnet OS and probably break it will all that shit

Apparently I can get it for free, but it said something about spamming my inbox with advertisements and other things

Windows 10 Education, Version 1803 (Updated March 2018) 32/64-bit (English)

I thought 1803 came out late April, and not in March.

It did, but they still consider it a 1803 release instead of 1804 for whatever reason.

>Updated March 2018
It means it was updated in march and it already has the update in it.

>Windows 10 LTSB
What I'm reading that the iso file is available for download, it's a 90 day trial.
You can pay for a license afterwards if you are corporate and you bought a ton of it or if you pay a 7usd per month subscription.
You know what? Fuck it, if it's a barebone OS without bloat and I get my software to work on it that I need for my small business I'll pay.
Ffs as self-employed you can make 30k usd in my country easily. Lol at that 85 usd when you pay as much to Google to keep your documents in the cloud or a hundred times more to run your personal site with aggressive online marketing.
There's a niche for this among business owners for sure, I like it.

>Entire site is in Russian
Will my computer be used to hack an election?
>17GB
Why?

>my email for my school still works after 4 years
Jesus I scam so many places this way. Can't tell you how much $$$ I've saved on top of that with my military.

>What I'm reading that the iso file is available for download, it's a 90 day trial
or just pirate the clean msdn iso + kms activation

boom full ltsb 4lyf for $0 without nagware

>Sorry, but this page was not found
The file has been removed.
Looked up the section that said to contain Windows iso's but that's empty too. Also the sire asks for captcha at every 5 minutes.

Dude I will not run accounting software on a pirated OS.
I need to use the shit the gubmint gives me officially and that's Windows only.
Either buy a Win 7 pro license because it's still valid until January of 2020 or get new Win 10.
Do you autist little child understand that the backdoors the NSA put into your OS and the backdoors you install yourself with your activation software ain't the same?
Like NSA doesn't care of my bank accounts and passwords to hack me, the small shitty business in Eastern Europe.
A fucking neckbeard without a job making these trojans does. Your activation thingy is basically a trojan.
Again when you make 30k usd per year that 85usd doesn't matter, your phone bill per month could be larger if you work with 3 salesman at least.

It's working fine for me.

Apparently I can get 2016 server edition for free as well.

cool digits

>games, music production
>windows 10
hope you like poor performance. even on the best hardware winblows wastes resources and wrecks the shit out of your drives

i sure as hell won't ever support anything related to apple, and linux is limiting for games, should i just install gentoo instead?

Also, my music production is not on an astronomical level, any i7 does the job

also
>wrecks the shit out of your drives
can you elaborate on this?

So, use Windows 7? Does the telemetry help you in any way in your line of work?

pros:
>lightweight
>unbloated
>less updates which is fit for mission-critical work

cons:
>doesn't have latest features
>not secure

LTSB is a meme. One way or another you'll have to switch to Windows 10 (or go Linux). If you will continue with Windows do it properly. With the latest updates Windows Defender now has so many important security features. For Telemetry, there are many scripts/tools available. You can further harden the system with group policies and firewall. If you are really paranoid just use it with virtualization, and keep your personal shit in Linux and gaming shit in the virtual machine.

If you are still using Win7 and you are not a poweruser just go jump out of the window. I know Win7 is lightweight and has the ultimate desktop experience (after XP ofc) but the shit is NOT secure. And will even get more unsecure after it becomes obsolete.

longer support, dx12 support and uefi based bios are keeping me away from 7

thanks for the insightful post, a rare one here
