W10 LTSC has support until 2032 😎
What is Windows 10 LTSC? LTSC is the abbreviation of Long Term Servicing Channel. It is a stripped-down enterprise operating system based on a specific version of Windows 10. Windows 10 LTSC don’t have pre-installed apps such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana assistant, News, etc. Using the LTSC service model, you can delay receiving feature updates and only receive monthly device quality updates.
Holy SHIT they made a version with the worst stuff removed AND they're going to maintain it longer? That is the version everybody should be using.
I'm slowly switching to linux but there are things I'm going to need Windows for for the foreseeable future, and I think I've found how I can make that happen. Thank you.
It's used for industrial applications like manufacturing and whatnot, stuff that really doesn't need to be updated regularly since the software is effectively legacy.
Hell, we've got tools from the 2000s still running Win2k.
Well I mainly want it to keep my VR headset running which nobody can get working in linux.
One of these days I'll replace it and make sure the new one can run on linux, and then I won't have much keeping me on windows anymore.
yes but they make it hard to access, and it has legal issues too so you maybe shouldn't use it in a business setting
I discovered recently that they make the regular ISOs hard to access too. It didn't want to let me download it from a linux machine.
But there's always a way to access this stuff.
What are the legal issues?
licensing. both if you don't plan to buy it, and if you do, because as I understand it's hard to obtain, and maybe hard to keep too
That site's ai protection won't let me through. But if the issue is needing a legitimate license them I'm sure that can be overcome in other ways.
it needs cookies and scripts. but it's just a reddit frontend, feel free to replace the domain with reddit.com or an other redlib instance
Ah okay, so what I'm reading there is that it may be piratable, but a lot of software vendors don't support it, so there's a decent risk that software would just randomly stop working, which is the same problem you get with windows 10 long term. Oh well.
Thank you! I had no idea that this existed. This is a solution for me personally, but also a solution for our clusterfuck IT people at work that do not understand that we have hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts that need to be fulfilled with software that costs us $12 per day to use and probably wont run on windows 11, instead of breaking everything and migrating it to a software that costs us $32 a day to use but will work on windows 11.
Let me know how that goes!
(I use the 21H2 Enterprise IoT version, for personal use, i can't share openly how i obtained it, that is AFAIK the only version that goes up to 2032)
Here are the versions of W10 and their extended support dates. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information
(Since you said you are a enterprise user, I am not sure what is the license eligibility for IoT exactly, but for non-IoT, you can go up to 2029 with version 1809)
1809 gang rise up
what happened in 1903 that made you say enough?
1809
let me get my top hat and monocle
