About Windows LTSC (Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC)

[Aaron44126]

Windows 11 version 24H2 is officially released today, and with it, Windows 11 LTSC 2024 which is based on the same.  It has been available to OEMs for a few months now, but not to businesses or through other places like Visual Studio subscriptions.

 

Windows 11 LTSC 2024 has a support end date of October 9, 2029 for "plain" Enterprise version, and October 10, 2034 for the IoT version.

Win11 LTSC 2024 (both non-iot & IOT) is available thru MVS (MS visual studio subscriptions) likely late afternoon Oct. 1st

examples of the US English Win11 LTSC 2024 ISO downloads from MVS:

Yeah, I guess it wasn't clear in my post.  It was previously unavailable through MSVS (despite being available to OEMs), but it became available through MSVS on October 1 (...I was downloading images from there at the same time that I made my post...), as well as through business volume license systems.

 

I've been using it in an ARM VM on my Mac for a few months with no issues.  Haven't upgraded any bare metal systems yet and probably will give it a good six months to shake out any issues.  (I just saw this about an undeletable upgrade cache that you might get...)

Here's about a similar kind of supplier, been in the business for a very long time. What I got from them worked fine for me. Large selection of their pricelist in the article.

The greedy bastards.... But I won't pay to play with the better and older OS. Microsoft can't force me to use Win 11. And they won't get a dime from me for using Win 10. Losers!

 

Want to keep getting Windows 10 updates? It'll cost you $30

Microsoft confirms that consumers can remain on Windows 10 past the October 2025 end-of-support expiration date with an extra $30 fee

^^^ Well, 30 usd for a year ain't too bad, surprised they propose it at all.

...anyway, w10 1809 LTSC goes to January 9, 2029 and nothing to pay.

Still... Microsoft rather prefer that you use their latest and greatest. Even if you are on old hardware (Just buy new HW).

 

Microsoft doesn't like you downloading Windows 10 even from official source anymore

I too don't have to pay M$ at all if running recent LTSC editions of Win10
currently running Win10 IoT LTSC 2021 21H2 which get updates until Jan. 2032

^^^ 2032, yes the IOT version would be my choice if updating my (old but still good) 1809.

They're taking advantage of most people who wants to stick with Windows 10. Currently its at 61% of the OS marketshare while Windows 11 is at 35%. They want people to buy new hardware because of the TPM 2.0 requirement but you can bypass it with rufus to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs. Inb4 Microsoft patches it lol.
