21H1 is the most current to not have to install a huge amount of updates upon install completion.



Best options to avoid conflicts are Pro or Enterprise.

haming/working/privacy is a matter of configuring your system correctly not the OS itself.

 

I have finish read now all the pages.

And the problem is that i can't install xbox game pass because need the version 1903, even the xbox app needs that.

So the best option maybe is the version 21H1 Enterprise ?

 

I'm finding it to be stable w/o any drawbacks of the other 2 versions. Whether it works for you game pass or not is another question.

*** I tend to go against the grain when it comes to "common" software use. I got a bit annoyed when running all of the updates and not seeing the version increment to more recent release #'s and decided to wipe things and reinstall since it's only a few minutes from a NVME "flash drive".

Enterprise offers the same options as the lower tiers all rolled into one.
Pro has a little less than Enterprise but more flexibility than Home
Home is lacking useful features and is more of a babysitter version compared to Pro

Thank you for your help.

Do you know where i can find the Enterprise version multi language ? I only find the pro version.

Thanks

 

I know there is a workaround to get xbox on ltsc, but since I don't do xbox I'm not certain what it is.
Start digging into it before loading an inferior version of win10.
The info is out there and I know you can find it.

 

Nop i dig all over the net and there is not a workaround, because gamepass needs the minimium windows 1903.

 

Then your only choice is to contact Xbox support and ask them...

 

Start here

You have to be on version 1903 or higher.
Not much for googling huh ?

Also this (for 1809)

First of all thanks for try help.

I really google and i can´t find any option to enable gamepass on windows 10 LTSC.

Like i say before i need to go to version 1903 (18362.0 or higher) and windows 10 LTSC is only version 1809 (17763).

Even after i install the Ms Store like you suggest i cant donwload the app xbox because of version limitation, image below.



Im sorry but i don´t understand your post.
Thanks

Well, my version of enterprise is higher than your requirements. I sent you a PM the other day with how to grab it.

I would check the store for you but, I keep MSFT blocked because they tend to release updates I don't want / need and want to auto install them even telling WUS to ask before doing anything.

 

Yes, thanks.

I download the last enterprise version but have all the bloatware install not clean as LTSC, i try on a VM and use this powershell code ( Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Remove-AppxPackage) all the bloatware is gone (i think)

After that i install windows store with add-store.cmd and i can install xbox app.

Need to install on my real machine to see if all games works.

 

That's what spare / dual HDD's are for. VM is a good test though before redoing everything.

I run dual NVME's for this sort of thing and have an NVME enclosure as well for making quick work of things. Also have a flash drive that pushes ~350MB/s. The flash drive actually shows up as a SATA drive wen connected in BIOS which is a bit unique. Might have to play around with that idea a bit and see if I can make an image of Windows and run from that drive completely.
