>Put a 2 TB SSD in a new laptop I just got>Create a bootable USB in the 1 TB SSD that came with my system to reinstall Windows 11 plus my product key>It works but none of my drivers are installed so when I get to the installation window it doesn't recognize a network adapter or my keyboardWhere in the process did I go wrong?
>>103477677Looks like the generic drivers that come with the install ISO don't play nice with your laptop. Easy thing to do would be to go into the original install drive and use DISM to extract all the current running drivers into a folder for you to put on the USB so you can then re-install them in the new install.
>>103477718I have a ThinkPad if that helps. So the generic install didn't include any drivers related to Lenovo hardware.
>>103477781Well I mean the wireless not working can happen occasionally but I've never heard of the keyboard driver being so different that the generic driver doesn't know what to do with it.
uhh why the fuck does the microsoft store have install history apps ive downloaded that goes back across multiple installs if i don’t even have an account.how do i clear this?
>>103477785I was trying to do Ctrl+F10 to bring up command prompt so I could bypass having to set up a network connection but nothing happened even when I pressed the function key
>>103477836Could just be connected to your hardware ID if you're using the same PC with multiple re-installs.>>103477842It's not Ctrl+F10 it's Shift+F10
>>103477850Shift+F10, that's what I meant. Sorry, I've been making a day project out of this so my head's all over the place.
>>103477850>Could just be connected to your hardware ID if you're using the same PC with multiple re-installs.awesome so that information is being tracked and stored on a server even if i use ltsc with telemetry “off”
>>103477871If you used MAS's HWID activation then yes it's in their activation servers.
>>103477883activation servers is one thing. data on specific software i use and have installed is different
>>103477677What's the name of your laptop and what are its specs?
>>103477857If Shift+Fn+10 isn't working then it looks like Lenovo put a block on it which OEMs can do.This video has a bit of a hacky solution to go into the files to remove this .cmd file that stops Shift+F10 from running, but like it says you gotta type blindly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8oZiFiXco0
>>103477899I mean it's on you for using the MS Store to install programs you use.
>>103477842So the function key+shift+10 isn't working either
>>103477019You shouldn't link directly to the MAS file. People are less likely to trust that compared to if they get to see the github page (plus you don't actually need to download anything for MAS, you just need a Powershell command)
>>103478399Yeah I dunno why OP decided to start linking directly to the script instead of just the github page. Running it via the irm command is how they expect it to be run.
>>103477019So I got a new Mobo (MSI Pro X870 WIFI) that I can't use with the wifi antenna because MSI does not have qualcomm drivers for WIN10 ( I have WIN10 IOT LTSC). Am I forced to upgrade to Win 11 or would I be able to install another similar driver to use my fucking WIFI antenna?
>opens file>actually never mindSasuga...
>>103478686You could try Snappy Driver Installer Origin to see if it can pick out a driver for said wifi card.And if it can't, you'll probably just have to use 11 based OS like IoT LTSC 2024.
>>103478709I'll try it out. Thanks anon
>>103478706Anon just use a third party viewer already, like nomacs or JPEGView
>>103478721I'm already exposing myself to Microsoft, I'd rather not extend to third party if I can help it. Besides, it just werks. Except for this case where it just werks but then it notifies you that it actually doesn't and your eyes are deceiving you.
>>103478776Sure man, whatever
>>103478788I'm glad you agree.
>>103477146Wow, that was painlessly simple. Worked great, thanks anon.
Fresh install Win11. (26100.2605) «Get the latest update as soon as they're available» check.Why I don't have new features from 26100.2454 build?
I wanna take the IoT LTSC pill. Does the W11 one also have the copilot/recall shit?
>>103479510They're in there because of it being based on 24H2 but you can just set Copilot to not be able to run in the background/uninstall it with Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage, and with Recall you can just disable it with DISM.
>>103479528Can I be sure that it won't reactivate? I suppose W10 ltsc is the choice if I don't want to worry about it, right?
>>103479632Because of it being Enterprise based if you turn something off it'll stay off.

>install w11 IoT LTCS>can't connect to internet, no wireless option availabledid i fucking delete my wifi drivers by accident
>>103481015You'll just need to get your OEM/mobo wifi driver installed again I guess. You could just download it on to your phone and pass the setup file over.
>>103481045That is exactly what I did.

So I dabbled once again with something other than Windows. Installed Debian on my living room PC thinking I only need three uses, how hard can it be. I wanted qbittorrent, jellyfin server and couple of games with retroarch. Holy shit what a pain in the ass. I don't mind using the terminal and I have experience with debian from my server but I ran into SO much trouble that I otherwise wouldn't have ran into with Windows.
Some faggot said that patch Tuesday update from yesterday enabled advertisment wallapapers on his IoT LTSC.I wonder if this is true or just a bait. Tried to google up some more information but I haven't seen anything.Me? I don't update my own LTSC that often.
>>103484130I'm on Home Edition and I'm not seeing any of the sort
>>103484263Maybe it was a bait then.

>>103485629Apparently, you can turn that shit off by going to your background settings and changing it from "windows spotlight." For whatever reason, they just felt like changing it to that without asking.

>>103485455Nothing other than wait really, YT is running experiments harder than ever to bypass adblockers, the only advise would be to not use Chrome and trust that uBlock finds another way to block ads
So I'm on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC ver 21H2, I'm already thinking about moving to 11 but I want the version without the bloat just like 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is the good version without the bloat, should I make the switch to 11 and if so whats the version without bloat and or how can i disable the bloat myself.I already read the op (it's the reason why im using the good version of 10) but I want a more extrapolative answer from people who have knowledge about it.

>>103486603Any anon that can help me out with this?
>>103488766You can in-place upgrade to IoT LTSC 2024 by just downloading and mounting the ISO then running setup.exe. It's very easy.
>>103488989Oh yeah i read that but what i was asking was more if i should bite the bullet and make a switch to win11, most of the stuff i do is gaming, are there any benefits like worse or better performance, resource consumption, etc.
>>103489013not sure what are youre doubtstheres this thing called the op, most of the time it doesnt get hijacked so the info is there>W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2024-Only if you fell for the 12th+ gen Intel meme and need the new CPU scheduler
>>103489054I'm on a AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
>>103489072you already did most of the meaningful research by beaing able to pick ltsc on youre own(which sadly cant be said for 99% anons posting here)your not gonna feel not see any noticable improvement from going to 10 to 11unless you like x or y feature thats exclusive to 11 theres no real point in "upgrading"maybe in one or two years some program devs decice they wont support 10 anymore (unless they are completely braindead its not gonna happen this soon) and you use said program 24/7 then you will "forced" to do it but its just speculation at this pointyour free to test 11 in a vm or a secondary hard drive to see whats up or sate youre curiosity and if its worth youre time or destroying a perfectly fine working w10ltsc install
>>103489207Most of me wanting to make the switch was someone from /vg/ mentioning a bunch of stuff related to graphics support being already discontinued on 10 which is causing some issues with some games, GTA V had an update the other day and now for some reason the alt tab looks like the classic windows only when switching from the game to something else, his implication was that he didn't had that issue while playing the game on Win 11, which made me have some doubts about if I should just remain on my perfectly running copy Windows 10 without slop or not just for better support with games.Hope bringing some of backstory for my reason to switch can either make you double down on me staying on 10 or maybe recommending the switch.
>>103477019Not exactly the right thread to ask, but do any of you have a notepad app for mobile (android) you can recommend? I'm just looking for the bare bones notepad.exe equivalent without ads or log ins, but everything I check has a million different uses, accounts, or adbloat.
>>103489240>the alt tab looks like the classic windows only when switching from the game to something elseim 99% sure he ran out of memory so the os is doing its best saving ram here and there, at least i experienced something like that when max memory usage using 7, so far i dont remember experiencing the same in 10also devs can fuck up stuff too when doing updatesthe best thing you can do is search x game you play on yt, say>death rally w10 vs w11 performanceand see if you can learn anything from it but i bet my ass 99% of the time youre not gonna see any improvement or even worse lower perfagain in the context of gayming 11 is only good if you have a intel cpu with goy cores (ltsc) and if you have the lastest ryzen 9xxx youre gonna need latest vanilla version because they got caught butchering amd performance (this was on release mind you, not sure if they got sume firwmare/bios updates to fix this)
>>103489323Ok thank you for all the info anon, now i can make an informed decision to not make the switch and remain on 10 and just keep getting security updates until it stops losing support from developers.

>>103489614Firefox with UBO is pretty much the only browser way to watch Youtube without ads these days, but Freetube works as a frontend too.
Oh IoT LTSC doesn't even come with a way to view pics.Anyone have a recommendation in that case? I had been using good ol' Windows Photo Viewer against Microsoft Photos' will.
>>103489816Nomacs or JPEGView
Is there a way to prevent windows 10 from downloading update for specific things I don't want? Things like GPU driver and wifi driver I'd rather do that myself.
>>103489951You can set hardware by ID in group policy to not have Windows Update install drivers for it, or just disable Windows Update from installing any drivers at all.
>>103489960I assume it's this section in ShutUp? Should I just switch everything on except "Disable automatic Windows updates"?
>>103489998You have to do the ID blocking manually, SU10 doesn't have options like that.Also remember you can mouse over the entries and it'll show a blurb of info.
>>103490005>SU10 doesn't have options like that.So it will just disable all hardware updates? I think this is the one I need and I guess I don't mind if every hardware automatic update is turned off.
>>103490060Then sure, keep that option enabled.
Last time I tried to change tamper protection I ended up nuking literally all of Defender and then realizing how screwed I was whenever having to deal with work (MS teams) and with MS apps (xbox game pass).I'm an admin of my own machine, win 11 pro (10.0.22.631), and I can handle GPOs just fine. I don't have any work-enforced policies since I have no account connected to their stuff (i.e. no intune bullshit).Somehow I can't quite seem to find a reliable way to disable tamper protection and be able to toggle at wish (without auto-re-enable) realtime protection. Any tips?
>>103490079There's a tool you can use which can disable as much of Windows Security as you want called Defender Remover by ionuttbara.
>>103490084That's the issue though, I only want to prevent realtime protection from always being on or re-enabling itself. It's fine if Defender is still there and I might even need it sometimes, I don't want to nuke everything defender related because it's a migraine sorting out its dependencies deep within Windows nowadays.The end goal would be to be able to just have realtime protection off at all times, and selectin when to scan something
>>103490104I don't think you can have it both ways. It's either on or off.In this case it sounds like you wanna get rid of Defender and just download another free AV like BitDefender.
>>103490161The toggle is entirely bullshit then. It USED to be that you could indeed toggle it off, then they made it re-enable itself frequently, and now it's flat out always on. Nuking defender fucks up your machine so much that you might as well be using Linux instead of fooling around. I've noticed that even GPOs don't do shit about defender. Best I could do was to add most folders to the exclusion list, but that's about it.Installing other AVs requires paying for them as well as having yet another level of spyware to deal with anyway, so meh.
>>103490189You unfortunately cannot have your cake and eat it too in today's Windows landscape when it comes to Defender.
I have a stupid question. First time posting in /fwt/ so please be patient, I am not very smart with technology softwareI am building a new PC next week when my graphics card finally arrives. I want to use the storage from my current PC the way that it is, and just move all of it to the new motherboard. Simple enough. But, the motherboard has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability, and from what I've been reading on the motherboard's specs and such, apparently you should install the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers alongside Windows instillation, and some of them talk about a BIOS update as well. But since I'm swapping this current SSD into the new motherboard, I won't be installing Windows, I'll just be using the same storage parameters as before. All the comments I'm seeing about installing Wi-Fi after the fact have me a little scared though because they make it seem very daunting to finish up if you decide to save it for later. Is it really that difficult? Can I just install the Wi-Fi stuff later on and be okay? Or is a full SSD wipe and reinstall necessary? How do I know if my BIOS settings are okay or if I need to update? Motherboard is Asus B650M Pro RS Wi-Fi if that helps. The graphics card will be here Monday or Tuesday so I'm trying to figure out if I need to just go get something to store all my stuff on and just wipe this system clean. This is only the second time I've built a PC so I'm in completely new territory.
>>103490285You can just keep the Asus B650M Pro RS Wi-Fi bluetooth and wifi driver setups from its support/driver page on a USB to install later
>>103489264i like colornote
I tried windows and it didnt work
why do you retards update your windows, it does nothing other than causing problems
>>103490803To patch zero click vulnerabilitiesAlso, IoT LTSC only gets security updates so it never breaks. It's the entire point of that version
>>103490825IoT LTSC only gets the monthly updates/quality updates but these days they have been sneaking a couple extra features in with the updates as well, like that Windows Backup thing or them retroactively adding Copilot to 10 with the November 2024 update (which is at least easy to disable, and doesn't even do anything if you're using a local account.)
In firefox, is there anything negative about browser.privatewindowseparation being.enabled? There's fuss online, but I like the private windows being seperated on my taskbar
>>103491654I remember thinking it was a bit of a strange change back when they first implemented private windows being their own process but I kinda just got use to it and don't mind anymore. I'd say there's naturally people out there that still don't like the change to this day but at least you can revert it.
Playing around with an old laptop, cant access recovery tools, managed to load safe mode but keeps having 100% cpu spikes, and goes white screen everytime it spikes. Pretty much unusable. Its an old aspire 3. Is it a hardware issue at this point?
>>103491967So I'm guessing you've looked within Task Manager and Resource/Performance Monitor to see exactly what's causing these spikes in CPU usage?
>>103491996Yes, sorry, in performance CPU is just constantly on 100% with windows explorer and search bouncing around 50%
>>103492046Well explorer.exe spiking like that is nowhere near normal, so there might be some kind of software/system rot going on with this old ass install.Would you want to ever clean wipe it and reinstall something like IoT LTSC 2021 on it or something?
I can't add the shared network printer, because it gives me this error:"The credentials provided are not sufficient to access this printer. Do you want to specify new credentials?"I'm trying to add from windows 11 ltsc iot while the printer is on windows 10 pro.what could be the cause?

>>103492116mpv for videos, foobar2000 for local music.Been my setup for years.
>>103492075Its looking like this will be the likely outcome. Trying to locate a recovery disk as cannot access recovery data locally. Thanks for replying.
>>103492153which one should i use?
>>103492157Well yeah if you can't access the recovery partition at all then the best you can do is use a Windows install USB to access the recovery tools instead.>>103492171The zhongfly builds are what I use these days. It comes portable, with you needing to make an mpv folder in Program Files and moving the extracted zip files into it, then running the mpv_install.bat script so it appears in the start menu and associates itself with all video/audio formats.
Didnt this thread get posted last week and someone wrote about the isos wernt legitemate?
>>103492233That person was lying on the internet for fun. The ISOs are fine.
>>103492233you can literally check them yourself?
>>103492233There are several different places online that have checksums for every ISOIf all checksums for a specific ISO are the same, including the one of the file you downloaded and verified yourself locally, it's practically impossible for your ISO not be legit
>>103492254I did actually i downloaded the Server Win11 and couldnt run most games on there cause my graphics driver i downloaded wasnt supported. Not sure if i find a fix or go back to win10.
>>103492331You don't use Server-based Windows to play games. If you want lighter Windows then just use Enterprise IoT LTSC.
>>103492336Ok ill install that now
how do i backup my windows without downloading anything online? i just want it on another hdd in case the SSD breaks desu

10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032, but how long do you guys think will other companies continue to support Win 10?Gaming is one of the wide uses for Windows, but just a month ago Win 11 has finally overtook Win 10 in Steam's Hardware survey, making it the most used OS by Steam users.
>>103492641Well it does say that only the latest feature pack installs can use this, so it looks like you'll still be using USB to connect your phone if you wanna stay on IoT LTSC 2021.>>103492656They'll support Windows 10 for as long as the ESU updates roll out, like how it was with 7 and its support being gradually lost since its ESU updates dried up.
>install windows update>it changes my wallpaperBravo Satya
so how do i get 10 IoT LTSC in non-english languages?
>>103492936Download the LTSC 2021 ISO in your language and install that, then with MAS just change your edition to IoT LTSC with the edition switcher before activating.
>>103492945can i make the change myself instead of relying on MAS?
>>103492972Why do you not want to use MAS? Like if you wanna do it manually for whatever reason you can just change your product key to the IoT LTSC one after you get to the desktop.
>>103492972You can do it by just changing the key in your activation settings and using the appropriate key from here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kms-client-activation-keys?tabs=server2025%2Cwinowsiot%2Cversion1803%2Cwindows81#generic-volume-license-keysBut you'll still have to activate your windows with MAS after anyway, so I don't see the point of doing it manually when it's just easier with MAS and you have to use it anyway
I use KMS_VL_ALL_AIO because I don't like that MA phones home to check for updates
Is there a preferred version of Office you guys use with Win10 IoT LTSC, or just go with whatever the latest is?
>>103493144MAS doesn't "phone home" what are you talking about. You load it up once to activate it then not have to use it again.If you mean the HWID activation then yes that uses MS's activation servers, but if you want to activate locally you got other options like its KMS38 activation or the aforementioned KMS_VL_ALL.
>>103493154
>>103493154You can use whatever version of Office you want. Most recommend to just use Office 365 Pro Plus but you can also use the Office Deployment Tool to install a customized set of Office modules using either 365 Apps For Enterprise or Office LTSC 2021/2024. You use to only be able to activate volume license versions of Office but since Ohook (and the new activation method MAS discovered that'll be added soon-ish) you can activate retail license Office these days.
>>103493183>and the new activation method MAS discovered that'll be added soon-ishWhat is itI usually install office 365 to get the latest updates, but I feel they'll nuke the classical activation methods at any minute now
>>103493196>What is itWe don't have any details yetPic related is all we know
>>103493196Dunno where you get that feeling from.But the method has just been semi-revealed as it existing, but not what it actually is (though it basically can activate any Windows/Office and can unlock the 10 ESU updates for free.) It'll be added to MAS 2.9.
>>103493268Sounds too good to be true

>>103493884You don't need to directly link to the LTSC ISOs because the link in the paste goes to the overal ISO repo anyway (and yes the OP should stop directly linking to the script file and link to the git front page.)And yeah adding that unattend generator would be a nice addition. Very useful lil' thing.

>>103477019So how bad is the telemetry on Win 11 compared to 10? Unfortunately I bought new pc parts and found out too late that microshit is coercing me to migrate to 11 if I want to use wifi 7 on my new motherboard.
>>103496228>NOOOOOO I HAVE TO HECKIN BUY NEWEST GOYSLOPno one needs more than 802.11nand that was 10 years ago
>>103496228You aren't doing anything over wifi that needs 700MB/s much less 950MB/s.
>>103496403>>103496453it's too late for me bros. I fell for the X870 meme and there aren't any windows drivers available for wifi. Have a look yourselves if you don't believe me:https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-X870-P-WIFI/support#driverSo I have two options, continue using an ethernet adapter that caps my internet at 20mbps or upgrade to win11 and get to use my new coaxial wifi antenna but have microshit monitor my every move online

Is there really no functionality differences between iot and non-iot?I've read in this reddit post that Windows Sandbox does not work on iot. Can anyone confirm?https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10LTSC/comments/si6ee1/windows_sandbox_does_not_work_on_windows_10_iot/

>>103497984What? If you mean use the win11 wifi driver it won't work on win 10.>>103498112yes? If you click on LAN drivers you will notice there is not WIFI driver
>>103498499>If you click on LAN drivers you will notice there is not WIFI driverOh, my badHave you tried running SDIO to see if it can find drivers for it? It saved my ass on two different machines, one of them actually needing drivers for the wi-fi card
>>103498706>Have you tried running SDIO to see if it can find drivers for it? It saved my ass on two different machines, one of them actually needing drivers for the wi-fi cardYeah I tried running snappy after an anon suggested it here. I think it uses the same win11 driver that is in the msi website so it gives the same error when it tries to install it.
>>103498499>If you mean use the win11 wifi driver it won't work on win 10.As in the .exe blocking you from installing it?You could try installing the driver manually since the .inf file is there.
>>103498849sdio shows also the previous version of drivers that can be installed, they are all for w11 too?
>>103498924>As in the .exe blocking you from installing it?It doesn't block me, it just throws out an error. Error 103 I believe. >>103498926>sdio shows also the previous version of drivers that can be installed, they are all for w11 too?Yes unfortunately. No worries though, I bit the bullet and migrated to Win 11 now. I hope wifi 7 is worth it.

I want a photo viewer that will sort through my images in the same order I have them, dependent on the folder, like Windows Photo Viewer. So for some folders I have them alphabetical, some are based on oldest, some are based on newest. If I hit right, I want to see the image to the right of the image I am currently viewing based on how the folder is actually set up without having to select how to sort it every time I open the folder. Anyone have any suggestion for a photo viewer than can do this?

>>103494147Because it works. Look at how many /g/tards.

>>103500141Literally nothing you can do. The kernal anti-cheat needs access to ring0 and you can't do shit about it.I was playing LoL again after years cause I wanted to scratch the itch but the idea that there was now a kernel access level thing in my system that at once made my computer boot slower and second just the idea that something has ultimate access of my kernel, so after playing it for like a week I uninstalled it because I couldn't stomach the anti-cheat being there anymore.
>>103500141In the decade or so I've been seeing these posts on 4chan, Twitter, Youtube, MDL etc., I'm still trying to figure out why you would do anything important/that requires security on your gaymebox.
>>103500141>don't play children's gamesIt's brilliant because all games with kernel level anti-cheat always happen to be goyslop.
>>103500141not being able to isolate or virtualise them is their literal reason for existing, because if you could do that, you could do that to hide cheats. the reason they're so low level is so nothing on your system can hide from it. if you could get around it, it would not be doing its' job

I just installed 10 IoT LTSC on a new nvme, I'm having some issues with my internet being capped to 100 Mbps. I think on 11 I didn't have the issue, but I can't recall. I haven't wiped that drive yet, is it safe to boot back into 11 while the 10 nvme is still plugged in to check? Or will they start fucking with each other somehow?
>>103502331Just change your boot drive to one with 11 in BIOS and check.Probably will have 100 Mbps here also.

>>103484130>>103480421can confirm this happened to me too, iot ltsc 21h2
>>103502613The 24H2 update pretty much changes how 11 works under the hood. They basically treat it like a new OS, which was where all the Windows 12 rumors were coming from.
>>103502911It's not as new as you think because software compatibility hasn't changed at all.It's still the same: they change some services around and rename others, kernel has a new protection. I don't know. I wish NT 4.0 was still a thing.
>>103502935It's not me calling it a new OS anon, it's MS. Or at least they treat it like one.

>>103506940>Does it run any worse than 10?Yes, but it's a new OS. That's what you get.>Any issues with the updates etc?Not a single one. People keep FUD posting that MS is going to cut off updates to unsupported machines, but all it will do is create a poorfag uproar, with absolutely nothing upsides.
>>103506959i literally have no other fucking user on my computer nigger.
also im not a zoomer, i'm 36 so fuck you.

>>103507002>the 11igger zoomer still doesnt understand after someone spelled it out for him letter by letter
>>103507020yea no it doesn't make sense, Folder should display the same thing as the Desktop, has always been like this even on windows 10. Its literally the same fucking thing cept in folder form.
>>103507002There are 2 desktop folders, one for you and one for everybody on the computer. Why is that so hard for you to wrap your pea sized noodle around?

>>103507049cept there isn't. There is literally only 1 desktop folder I looked, there are no other fucking desktop folders and the desktop folder should display everything on the desktop specially since i'm the fucking admin of the computer. Like I said there are NO OTHER USERS besides me. I don't fucking share the computer at all.
>>103507062I showed you the folder of my own fucking desktop you stupid fucking nigger. There are LITERALLY no other users on my computer.
>>103507065(You)
>>103507099cept im not black, not a zoomer, and not a tranny, go fuck yourself.
I like this one. There's a clear absolutely right anon, and a clear drooling mouthbreather who would rip his own eye out with a spoon if he ate unsupervised.
>>103507065 >>103507103(You)
>>103507130Scanners aren't complicated though I can easily work one I just don't work cause i'm a millenial, you're actually a retard who thinks there is nothing wrong with a desktop not showing the correct number of files despite me explaining it is my own desktop im looking at in the folder. Its ok though its clear who the actual zoomer is here.
This confuses and enrages the zoomer.
>>103507180I already told you thats not the folder i'm showing retard.
retard here, is the 24h2 update going to get rid of some of the glitches or is it just some extra superficial features and long time support?
>>103507180this is the public desktop you are speaking of which is not what I am fucking speaking of
>>103507198Everything but IoT LTSC has very short support.
Is Recall on LTSC 2024?Articles today talking all about how it captures credit card and SSN info despite saying it wouldn't (lol @ anyone who thought it wouldn't)
>>103507218Hmm let me do some quick math here.>33+25=58>"there are meant to be about 60 icons"Hmm. It's almost like C:\Users\<user>\Desktop and C:\Users\Public\Desktop are mixed together for display or something. Same with the Start Menu. It's probably been like this since NT 4.0, and tagentially related to why everyone here thinks you're a stupid fucking cunt.
>>103507239$50 says this chimp has the Win+Tab Timeline turned on, but because Jewtube didn't tell him to care about that, he doesn't.
>>103507229aight i'm so wrong on all accounts except extra superficial features then?
>>103507253yea no that doesn't add up i've counted how many icons are on my desktop its 62, so where the fuck are the missing 4 files considering your math?

anyone know of a windows 7 iso that has all of the updates installed and the telemetry microsoft added removed?I want to put it on my old laptop I use to watch tranime and don't feel like updating/fixing it myself.
>>103507728>all of the updates installed and the telemetry microsoft added removed?You're asking for dry water or smart freetard here. Every CU for Windows 7 issued after 2017 contains the telemetry updates (something the baby ducks always conveniently forget).
>>103507761https://archive.org/details/windows-7-sp1-aio-x64-fully-updatedI found this iso that's updated and claims to have removed some telemetry. I'll dig more into it later and hopefully disable the rest if all of it isn't already, it's saving me some time at least.
W11 24H2 seems pretty good it did improve the wifi and file explorer noticeably.
>>103506980there's one or two 11 haters hanging around, just don't pay attention
>>103508055It's almost certainly another case ofo "we didn't install the KBs that came out in 2015 or 2016", conveniently forgetting, as mentioned, it's in every CU since early/mid 2017.Windows 7 baby ducks live in this freetard-like world of fantasy and self-deception, pretending if they just ignore these things, they just go away. It's part of the reason they're all running shitcoin miners (the other part being the 30-odd WONTFIX RCEs in Windows 7). They really think unconditional love for Aero Glass is a substitute for Group Policy or configuring the firewall.Keep this in mind while installing.
>>103508450yeah one of the first things I'm going to do is set up a firewall, though desu I'm probably not even going to use the internet on it after downloading a few programs.I just want to plug my external drive I keep my tranime on and watch it in bed.Making win10 look like 7 would probably work too but I don't really need anything from modern windows on it and I may as well go for the real thing.
What would you do in this situation
