I am using the last LTSB that came out and notice they have a new one. what does everyone else use? Tempted to just reinstall with this new version as i like to do a clean install once in a while.

anti productive reply?
you can get it 3 different ways, 90 day trial, 7$ a month license or a business enterprise license. My license is legit thanks for your worries. So anyone have anything productive to add? or this forum section doesnt get alot of use.

Why this even a question? You should know that most people use Home edition. In a business environment, you use Pro to join a domain.

In an enterprise organization, you buy Enterprise. Duh.

Forgot that Enterprise LTSB / LTSC is different from Enterprise.

According to Microsoft, LTSB / LTSC is usually for embedded devices. Not recommended for general usage.

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com...-is-it-and-when-should-it-be-used/ba-p/293181

The Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is designed for Windows 10 devices and use cases where the key requirement is that functionality and features don’t change over time. Examples include medical systems (such as those used for MRI and CAT scans), industrial process controllers, and air traffic control devices. These devices share characteristics of embedded systems: they are typically designed for a specific purpose and are developed, tested, and certified before use. They are treated as a whole system and are, therefore, commonly “upgraded” by building and validating a new system, turning off the old device, and replacing it with the new, certified device.
We designed the LTSC with these types of use cases in mind, offering the promise that we will support each LTSC release for 10 years--and that features, and functionality will not change over the course of that 10-year lifecycle.

i dont know there are so many types of windows,

im sure there is more than Home pro and enterprise. So people love the constant updates?
i cant have the PC say "dont shut down updating" or when you turn your PC on it says "updating" instead of booting into windows. Sorry for asking other peoples opinions, I used windows 2000 for the longest time, then switched to windows 7 and would still use 7 if everyone would work fine. But now it seems everyone is being forced into windows 10 or possibly people are doing something else. unix with windows 2003 vm?

why not stay out of the thread if you are not going to add anything useful?

People like constant updates? Absolutely not! But most people have no choice.

Yeah, I should have stay out of the thread since no one else is responding to your question.

No wonder you get so many negatives because you are so eager to give other member negatives.

but its ok, asked same question in diff forum and had 20 diff replies and great conversations about what version everyone is using and what has been done to avoid annoyances. Sorry you are so stuck on my ltsb version.

Let us know when you're done with puberty and you can hold an intelligent, non-child like, conversation. Seriously, grow up and stay in those other forums.

another great reply from anandtech! good job installing the 1809 ltsc tomorrow.

It just seems so crazy to force updates and spam on people. ltsc seems to be my only option besides using windows 7 cpu bypass for the updates.

hopefully windows lite will be out in 2019 sometime.
