What’s the question you’re asking?

Did you expect that Microsoft would strip everything from Windows?

I expect less bloatware in LTSC. What's point then?

You mean you didn't look into it before you installed it? I'm lost.

Where did you get it from?

The LTSC stands for Long Term Support Channel. It is a version of Windows 11 that is made for dedicated embedded systems, not for general use. It allows the user to customize their version of Windows, with the ability to remove up to 36 software packages, and locks the device into that specific version of the OS.

I aren’t exactly sure where one gets a license for LTSC. I am not saying it isn’t possible from some scrap key website or a website that sells old keys or some other shonky process

Windows 11 LTSC is only available to customers with a Volume Licensing agreement, IT specialists and the likes. Where did you buy your license?

I’ve never bought one so I have no idea.

That's what happens, when you tie yourself to MS's apron strings. Shame!

I don't, and my PC life is so much simpler and more enjoyable.

Do you have any idea what LTSC is about, how it is licenced (clue - not for you)?

I think LTSC has become a fad with some Windows users who may think they should have it rather than have concrete reasons for using it. I can get a legitimate licensed copy of Windows Enterprise E3 but cannot think of any sensible reason why I need it.
