Run MAS via the irm command in the OP via an admin powershell, then just select the "change windows edition" option. Choose Enterprise.
Then after that, run the TSforge ESU activator and you'll be good till October 2028.

i deleted my games, got free 10gb, and then those 10gb will be gone next week for no reason
i moved my movies, got free 5gb, and then it will be gone too next week despite not installing any new apps
it's making me insane honestly

i know if i'm smarter and know how to make money i can just get a bigger SATA ssd since i have one more slot left but somehow i keep wasting my time minmaxing my storage uses

i wasn't like this when i was 15-22. back then i never bothered so much and just keep on creating/making stuff anyway.

If you want LTSC then use IoT LTSC 2024.
IoT means Internet of Things IE it's the version of LTSC specifically made for shit like ATMs, but can be installed on a desktop/laptop fine.

Long Term Service Channel.
People use it because you get way more years of support with it. IoT LTSC 2021 gets updates until 2032 for instance, though with ESU being so easily activated now you can just have 10 Enterprise or Education and stay on it until 2028 now.

Make a Rufus USB out of an 11 ISO and then use its setup.exe to in-place upgrade. It tweaks the setup in such a way that it'll in-place you to 11 no matter what your parts.

>>106453708
There is a policy you can enable to make it that updates can never auto-restart your PC when you're logged in. You can also set a policy to make it that it'll only download updates, but then ask you to manually install them.

Can I get a simple explanation as to how I can create shortcuts on my desktop for windows 11? I just want to make a shortcut for 7zip and the only way which appears to work is if an app is listed in the miles long list of files and folders I can choose from. I tried to just enter in the filename, or what might be the filename, and neither of the things I chose worked. I looked in the task manager while I had 7zip running and typed in the filename 7zFM.exe, and the computer said nothing was found.

So what do I do? I don't remember prior windows operating systems being this outrageously horrendous, I remember shit being so simple as just right clicking on a thing and setting a desktop shortcut or dragging a thing to the desktop but nope, it's all "taskbar". I don't think I'm missing something, I think it must just be downright gay. It should not be this complicated and irritating, and also obfuscated. Nothing is clear and simple about this crap.

I swear to god Microsoft intentionally makes bluetooth drivers break to force Windows updates. This has happened too many times to be a co-incidence. I'll just be sitting there when suddenly my headphones cut out. I check quick settings, bluetooth ha disappeared. Check settings proper, can't connect to anything. Go to device manager, Bluetooth is hidden. Restart the computer, even reset the drivers by pulling the power cable - nothing. Still gone. Then I remember Microsoft's fuckery and check Windows update and what do you know, there's an update waiting to install. And then when I install the fucking thing, suddenly my bluetooth is back.

Foobar is THE best on both Windows AND Linux.

The file would work fine. LTSC isn't different to standard GAC 10 besides a different license, way less pre-install UWPs (like only admin ones) and it has a longer EoL by default.

I'll work.

Help me please. For some reason, "Use lock screen background on the sign-in screen" does not work. I just want to change it from that bland blue shit to my own picture. When the computer first turns on, it doesn't show what I've chosen.

Sweet, glad to hear. I only ask as I'm a retard and got an LLM to help me set it up before; can't even remember which one I used Will be a pain trying to find the conversation again. Cheers.

LLMs will always get antsy about being asked about LTSC because it's not a real consumer edition

iirc you need to copy the image to boot partition or similar place accessible before user login.

is HDR considerably better in W11? enough to upgrade from W10? i've been on the edge about upgrading, even more now with the reports about it killing SSDs, and i'm looking for reasons to do it.
I'm on a AMD cpu

I'd ask the Home Media thread but they're fucking dead right now, so I'll ask here.

I have two YottaMaster externa 5-bay drives. They keep falling asleep and I've tried to change their sleep setting using the provided official software.

Doesn't work. Keeps giving me this shit.

While funny as shit also is starting to annoy me. Anyone have any idea?

it's not super great but naturally it will get improvements along the way, so definitely necessary if you want to use HDR a lot

How bad can it really be?

[spoiler]We have a spare computer at work and I want to play Warframe at work during free time.

Use Rufus, it has options to easily avoid having to use an online account, etc

Should I just avoid windows for the next couple of weeks? I thought this was supposed to be an overblown issue/fearmongering? How can MS/Phison not reproduce the problem? So they're just not gonna fix it?

just stick with 10

What THE FUCK is happening at Redmond?

I'm glad I don't have any drives with an affected controller.

but I also like Audacious on Linux (There's a Windows version too). And it has a cleaner default look than foobar. Only downside is I can't figure out how to make a one song repeat in a playlist of other songs, I have to create a separate playlist and put that one song there to have it repeat. You'd think that would be a default feature or something.

I use Foobar2k with the Georgia-ReBORN theme.

Ok bros, that's it. It's probably nothing, but I'm getting too spooked, especially since I can't afford to replace any drives right now. See you in a couple weeks. Hopefully this stuff will be fixed by then.
Well, actually I'll just post from Mint if I need to. I'm gonna miss Halo Infinite and Battlefront 2 and all my rpg maker games (Which are installed on the Windows drive), but I'll tough it out. Most rpg maker games can run fine on linux anyway, so I'll just move some saves over, and I also have Halo MCC and War Thunder installed on the linux drive so I can hold out for a bit.

11 LTSC or 11 Pro debloated using ctt util's Microwin?
