If you’re too lazy to switch to Linux like me, Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC is supported until 2032 and free to download and permanently license.

    As someone who is lazy, I find running Linux to be less work than fighting with Windows.

    You won’t do this on corporate machines, but converting a Win install into an IoT release and generating a key for it is like a couple of clicks and a reboot. But, but - the way massgrave is still accessible and not fought against makes you think Microsoft wants the fluctuating users to keep on using their products and ecosystem even if they don’t pay the initial sticker price. So if it’s at least slightly feasible for your workflow, it’s always better to switch and leave M$ behind. P.S. I can be wrong, but IoT right now doesn’t shield oneself from installing copilot and other garbage, making this edition not better than others, you still need to debloat it.

    I’m going to try Steam OS on one of my laptops. See what that’s like.
