Neat. I tried this last night on my once top of the line machine (in 2012) because why not..
It didn't upgrade my win10 install but at least it didn't delete all my data. Maybe I goofed on that as I was tired.
I used the 23H2 iso but it installed 22H2.
I didn't use the script, it picked up my existing valid key.
It fails to update. Perhaps that's the point or bloat would come back?
But if it can't update then what's the point?
Again, might be my fault but I'm not really trusting this image yet. Not enough to reinstall and relicense my tools.
I use Linux where I can but I'm bound to some windows-only proprietary software. I do use a stripped down win10 VM for a lot of it but at least it updates.
Will update this comment if i find that I'm at fault.
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).
