Use Windows LTSC, it doesn't have this stuff. Then permanently license it with the MAS tool on github (let me go find a link)

This is absolutely the way. My wife needed windows for school recently... Ltsc was the only way to go.

I use windows 11 for work and it's absolutely horrible.. took them a year to let us ungroup windows on the task bar. Win11 literally didn't ship with that ability.

In Win7 and Win10 I always had my own Toolbar added with a bunch of .rdp, .bat and .ps1 for quick and easy access.
In Win11 that feature is missing. :(

Tiny11 is good too!

Link?

Tiny11 Archive Link

In the "ISO Image" dropdown under "Download Options", I recommend the latest build, but that's up to you!

Thanks! I'll have to check it out. I've been waiting for an LTSC version before I tried 11. This might do for now.

Yeah you're welcome! Good good. I only have experience with Tiny10, not Tiny11, but if Tiny10 is anything to go off of, it's a pretty seamless experience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yep.

Isn't Tiny11 just LTSC with stuff removed? My Tiny10 VM reports as LTSC.
