How do I debloat/debotnet Windows 10 or 11?
Offline (pre-install): https://rentry.org/mdl-optimize-guide
Online (live install): privatezilla / thisiswin11 (and dont mindlessly tick everything)
Don't mix offline & online tools with each other.
Is Optimize-Offline worth it?
No.
Can you get the Ryzen scheduler on LTSC 2021?
Yes.
Can I upgrade to LTSC 2021?
Only from previous LTSC builds w/o doing the upgrade matrix hack in rentry paste.
LTSC or LTSC IoT?
Same thing just different licensing and support.
LTSC for corporate PCs/devices with 5 years support (KMS only).
LTSC IoT for consumer devices with 10 years support (HWID only).
Do I even need LTSC?
All versions of W10 are essentially LTSC now getting mostly security updates as development of new features has shifted focus to W11.
I already run Windows 7, but don't want to clean install?
The non-LTSC installers can upgrade.
Are homebrew ISOs safe (Gen2/Ameliorated)?
Not really, use only official Microsoft images.
