LTSC only gets security updates. No feature updates.

It's intended for stability, so you don't wake up and suddenly nothing works right because of an update. That won't happen on LTSC.

I wouldn't use it to update an existing install, that's not what it's intended for (and probably pointless as it may retain stuff that came with the existing os).

Thank you. It does seem cool but I can't really keep up. I appreciate the explanation. I really thought it was a fully workable de-bloated win11. Which it is, but I need long term installs. I learned a few things though! So not a waste.

If i could ever figure out how to run a windows app via VM. Seamless mode comes close but not quite enough.

Anyway thanks and I didn't mean to be negative, just didn't totally get it.
