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 have like 320 gb left out of my 456 gb NVMe storage but i constantly suffer from OCD since january this year, seeking out what keeps on taking up the storage using WizTree.

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.

Such a bloated OS

can i download w11 iso from microsofts official site and still use MAS afterwards? or do i have to follow the rentry guide that directs to magnet link/massgrave site
>>
>>106441690
Yes you can, you're just downloading what amounts to the consumer ISO directly from them.
I'd recommend installing Education through it then changing it to Enterprise then activating.

You can use MAS's TSforge to activate any version of 7 offline these days.

So what's the easiest way to get ESU on 10?

And there you go. You can check it's all there and set up with slmgr.

is this the one i want to go with? the more recent enterprise version from what i can tell? idk what IoT stands for either, and would it give me other language options available later? sorry for the noob questions, im happy if i can avoid the 150-200$ prices for win11 here in my country
>>
>>106441793
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.

What is the least cringe Office version if I only really need Excel?

Can I upgrade my Windows 10 to Windows 11 when my PC doesn't support it? I don't want to reinstall.

>>106442302
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.

Is it possible to get Windows XP to play modern vidya? I feel like it's the last good Windows OS that wasn't spyware, because it had the old control panel icons before Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11 embedded the control panel with spyware and changed the icons out of guilt to alert the knowers.

Dumbass, windows notifies you like 100 times and even allows you to set day and time for the restart. Also use enterprise level to be able to adjust settings for windows updates

has anyone updated from windows 10 ltsc to 11? from what i've seen you have to do a clean install which is a nightmare if you don't want to lose all your shit or back everything up into a separate drive

It's actually quite easy. All you need to do is get an IoT LTSC 2024 ISO and mount it, then run the setup.exe to in-place upgrade.

ok, so what's the archiver everyone's using that can extract tar.gz, tar.xz, etc. in a single step? after over a decade of 7-Zip's bullshit I grew tired of it. if tar -xf can do it, why is it so hard for 7-Zip to have that basic feature as well?

Is there a way to automatically download and install updates but wait to restart until a given day only if a restart is necessary? I know you can automatically download and schedule install and schedule restarts but is there a way to condition the restart
>>
>>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.
>>
>>106453729
The computers are always on and logged in, I see you can set automatic maintenance at a certain time everyday but I don’t want the computers to restart that often (security system) and it doesn’t sound like it’s graceful.

gem is like upvote or based, coal is like downvote or cringe. i wanna turn on my windows and just feel its gemmy like when i was a kid and using xp or 7, it just doesnt feel magical and it doesnt even feel technologically great, like all animations feel clunky and so do core apps like file explorer and task manager. w10 is slightly better in terms of technological feel but its ugly as sin and pure coal in terms of aesthetics and sovl. issa coal and ts pmo
>>
>>106453784
Again, there's a policy that makes it so it never ever restarts automatically
I've set it so it still downloads and installs updates automatically, but when it needs to restart, it just puts an icon in the tray reminding me I have to restart manually to finish installing the updates
