I believe that many people have such a computer at home, because they can't run the win10 system smoothly, and eventually idle.
But every time I pack up something, I guess I don't know what to do with it, whether it's thrown away or sold, it doesn't seem to be a good method.
If you are also facing this situation, maybe today's article can help you, so that the computer can be used for daily work, personal study, entertainment, etc.
Yes, there is one system to introduce, and that is Win10 Enterprise LTSC!
The full name of LTSC is Long Term Servicing Channel, which refers to Microsoft's support for this release for up to 10 years, during which time Microsoft will continue to release security updates.
LTSC is a simplified version of Windows 10 Enterprise, with the only difference being that the system will never be updated to the next version.
In addition, when referring to LTSC, it is inevitable to mention LTSB.
LTSB stands for Long Time Service Branch and provides the most basic set of UWP features (features that are only included in the system) and is delivered without the Edge browser, custom UWP applications, and some of the system components needed to ensure the proper functioning of non-professional software.
Its main difference is that the number of updates provided is less, only stable and secure updates are provided.
However, LTSB is more suitable for the commercial field as a stable platform for equipment to run, and LTSC is the best choice for us ordinary users.
Among them, Win10 Enterprise LTSC and other versions have some missing features, for example: no Cortana, no app store, no Microsoft Edge browser (including IE11), no OneDrive, etc.
Precisely because it lacks unnecessary UWP applications, there is no need to update them (the system only ** and install important security updates) and the number of active processes in the operating system decreases.
What's more, Windows 10 LTSC is based on the Enterprise Edition, which includes all the required software and feature sets for use in enterprise networks.
So, if you have an old computer at home that needs to be used for work, you don't have to worry about missing basic functions at all.
And in terms of personalization, LTSC is not much different from the regular version, and any wallpaper and design theme (including dark theme) can be used.
Back to today's topic, why is Win10 Enterprise LTSC a savior for old computers?
Quite simply, as mentioned above, Win10 Enterprise LTSC has undergone a lot of reduction to ensure that it is stable and smooth enough.
And this also means that its hardware requirements are actually lower than those of the win10 system.
All of a sudden, it fully satisfies the old computer that doesn't want to use win7, but can't use the common win10 system version.
Currently, the latest Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is version 2021 and ends of service on January 13, 2032!
Friends, just rushing to this time, plus it is stable and smooth enough, it will kill other systems in seconds.
As a reminder, Windows IoT Enterprise offers a support lifecycle of up to 10 years for special-purpose devices that don't require feature changes through the Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).
As a result, new LTSC releases are typically released at three-year intervals, although the exact timing of each release may vary.
Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC editions, on the other hand, follow a fixed lifecycle policy, with each edition providing 10 years of support.
To put it simply, if you install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019, you cannot directly upgrade to version 2021.
You need to re** the 2021 version of the system image and install it using a USB flash drive boot disk.
Of course, according to the cycle, the service termination time of Win10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 is 2029, and the 2021 version may not be installed.
Okay, that's all for today's article, we'll see you next time.
