If you absolutely must use windows

Download the Pro ISO from windows.

Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation

Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.

Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

My wife’s HP Spectre something laptop became twice as fast when I reinstalled it and removed all the cruft.

Unfortunately that requires a full reinstall, I wish there was a way to upgrade from 10 pro to 10 enterprise.

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah there's no foolproof way to do a general upgrade. Wiping is the easiest way to bypass the tpm requirement.

Is Windows Enterprise LTSC a good idea?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

It is.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 2 hours ago

As good as it gets, if you can't get around using Windows.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Nope.

[–] krysel@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Please elaborate

It's fine. It's mostly crap-ware free, and it's more stable than other versions. It's Long-Term-Stable-Channel, it's used by corporate, so it doesn't change frequently. It still gets security updates but not the latest BS, like Recall, and on-by-default Bitlocker. It also doesn'tt require a MS account during setup.

System latency, weird USB drivers that don't play nice with my audio deck, video drivers won't be kept up to date and compatible soon for gaming cards as it's meant for commercial applications. Also fuck windows.

I finally switched to Linux for my daily driver and gaming PC. It was easy.
