What's up with Windows Defender Updates? They're completely out of Sync with the versions on the MS website, and WSUS is out of Sync as well it seems.

Will it be trivial to upgrade from W11 LTSC 2024 to W11 LTSC 2027? I kinda don't want to install W10 and miss out on the Ryzen performance improvements that came about with the scheduler update on win 11 24h2.

Nothing feels faster than a clean install. I had a bum HD back in 2010 that would cause Windows to throw bluescreens more and more often as time went on, so I was doing clean installs every few weeks or more, and when I finally replaced it with a good drive I missed the absolute sleek feeling of those first dozen boots.

If I can't use this new windows version for some reason should I just downgrade back to 10? I did so briefly but it automatically switched back to 11.

I just use the dark mode mainly. Theming windows is too annoying these days because of secure boot nonsense, plus the class windows theme that was in up to 7 is the one I always use to use until they got rid of it.

in the interest of brevity i condensed the acknowledgement that my bitlocker key was backed up to my microsoft account into the last bullet point about not wanting to log into my microsoft account from my phone to retrieve it
i thought that was pretty obvious, idk

Can't use how? You mean the requirements? If you install 11 with a Rufus-made USB then you can install 11 anywhere.

anyone with experience in non-english versions of windows 10?
I am trying to change Win10 Home edition to LTSC version (Windows is already installed),
when I enter the product key listed on massgrave's website(as seen on the picture) it doesn't accept it, any other method(s) besides fucking with installer again ?

Basically want to you gotta do if you want to to replace a GAC edition of 10/11 with the LTSC version you need to use a hacky way because it's not natively supported (massgrave teaches you how.)
Just download the LTSC ISO that uses your language and install it over the Home install as directed by massgrave's docs then just HWID activate the install and it'll turn into an IoT LTSC one.

The aforementioned sub-zero IQ zoomers keep "burning" the ISO to a UFD and booting from it (which disables upgrades), no matter how many times they're told not to do that.

There's about a billion replacement GUIs to the Windows Firewall. Simplewall is the one that's shilled most often, though more for its inbox ruleset than anything else: as it's just a GUI over the top of it, it ultimately doesn't do anything Windows Firewall doesn't. It's just friendlier for retards, hence why I call it "Simpletonwall".
