        I didn’t think this would be controversial, but apparently it isn’t widely known. Win10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is a version that gets security support until 2032 but will not receive feature updates, ads or any other those things. It’s essentially what windows should be.

        Here is my source: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links.html

          That’s exactly the same as what Windows 10 LTSC claims to be, except with IoT included. They’re virtually the same product.

            Nope:

            Windows Update - Iot is supported till 2032 and Non-Iot is supported till 2027. Conclusion, Iot LTSC is better.

              I went ahead and checked and yes the IoT service date for LTSC Enterprise 2021 is further out by about 5 years, but it’s a but of a stretch to say that makes it “better” given the added unnecessary vulnerabilities.
