For anyone who really can't leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/
Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?
Is there any good guide?
It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems "legit" to me.
The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there's a guide on how to verify they're genuine if you don't trust them.
i'm the pirate of the biggest seas but even i wouldn't pirate my os. if im gonna dual-boot, i will buy win10 2019 ltsc. it is survivable, key resellérs have ok deals
Honestly, the way Massgrave works seems less sketchy than random keys from resellers. Massgrave is able to trick Microsoft into giving you a legit license key.
Yeah I could use ltsc if I rlly needed windows for something, but it doesn't have Microsoft store and stuff but it's fine tho.
That is not a drawback.
True, but some apps are distrubuted via msix
You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.
Oh yeah I seen scripts that re-enable it
