About Windows LTSC (Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC)

Newer is always better bro @Mr. Fox 

 

That said, no matter how many changes Microsoft makes, if we compare Windows 11 to Windows 10, there's no contest. Windows 10 is significantly faster and, in fact , loads Windows Explorer instantly.

 

Windows 11's File Explorer preloading feature is here: it doubles RAM usage and offers little speed advantage at idle, but the difference is more noticeable under load.

! :O) 10 ltsc iot 2021 installed & alive. On a brand new Lenovo P14s. 2nd 14" Thinkpad in 3 weeks, appreciate format \ weight \ keyboard etc. Both at great discounted price.

No OS when bought, used Rufus & iso. One single hurdle, no wifi !? Apparently no compatible driver in this 10 ltsc iso. As having no wired router available right here, fixed using usb internet tethering from a phone, downloaded initial updates\drivers, wifi came to life.

After the usual zillion :O) downloads \ updates \ restarts, everything fine.
Immediate activation with valid key. Local account & O&O shutup, of course.

Also the governments want your data. Who in their right minds would use Microsoft servers as backup for their data? 

Microsoft gave customers' BitLocker encryption keys to the FBI

Microsoft AI Chief Says It’s OK To Scrape And Steal Content On The Web

Public opinion is turning against AI on certain topics. Some people have been dubious about the practical benefits of all the power and money spent on developing and operating AI for some time, but recently, leadership at multiple companies has gone completely "mask off" with regard to how they feel about the impact...

^^^ Local account \ zero cloud storage\backup fixes that ? ...or do they manage to harvest (steal) such things from any win installation.

But difficult matter... Accessing stuff belonging to some crime \ drug  boss or a terrorist \ murderer etc is a very good thing. While breaching personal privacy or dealing with a political opponent etc this way is completely unacceptable.

I expect you need to circumvent the forced login into M$ during clean install to avoid this mess. M$ have already locked out many ways to stop you from install windows with local account but there is still other ways to fix it. Anyway... Never connect drives with any data during the install. Do it afterwards after you are sure they can't get your data.

^^^ Local account win install ftm no problem, 5 minutes googling found all needed info.
And should I ever need \ want any cloud for storage \ file access \ backup, will not be microsoft, google etc. but some standalone service. Like this f.ex. https://proton.me/drive
