Woke up to my computer being updated to W11 from W10, not too happy about that. I want to use massgrave to change my window to W10 LTSC.

I am not interested in Linux.

So, I went to massgrave.dev and did the script, hit 1, etc. It just say something about permanent changed to key or whatever.

So I went download W10 LTSC iso, hit setup.exe and it asked me for product key. I entered my key, say it's not right one.

So could somebody run me step by step how to go about it? I'm not really tech savvy. I want literal step by step, telling me exactly what to do.

Thank you.

Edit: folks didn't really provide step by step here. But I managed to do it. I activiated script via powershell and hit change edition, changed it to LTSC. And then I downloaded window 10 consumer version from massgrave and run setup.exe and done. You might have to do first step shown in first part of massgrave.dev.

So my pc went from w10 to w11 (woyhouy my approval) to w11 LTSC, to w10 IoT enterprise. I'm good now.

2032 is only for iot version that's designed for ATM and similar appliances, missing too many features to be considered a good alternative

what features does it miss? it is perfectly capable of running firefox, steamd and games, and whatever else.
it does not have that crap microsoft store, that's it. but if you really need it, you can install it and then it's there.

I never personally used it but there are a lot of posts of people complaining that something is broken because the software is assuming to run on latest and greatest windows 10, especially games and anticheat. There's also a post on Reddit of someone complaining "it doesn't have Windows spotlight, how can I enable it" (the sponsored link ads on the lock screen) but that's a pro, not a con...

maybe this would fix spotlight: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs/blob/public/windows/configuration/windows-spotlight/index.md

feature wise I believe the latest iot ltsc edition is based on the last version of windows 10

IoT was not designed at all for ATMs. Windows IoT, also known as Windows embedded was designed for low power, embedded systems which in exactly zero ways describes ATMs. The banking industry has decided to use this version of Windows because it comes with the features they need with the longest support channel. That's it. IoT was not designed for ATMs.
Windows IoT is Windows Enterprise. They are the same thing:
