I'd pay up to 500€ for a 100% telemetry / ad free version of Windows.

  If the Bavarian agency for data protection is to be believed, you can fully disable telemetry in the enterprise/education version ($300/license). https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/02/german-data-protection-agency-windows-10-1909-enterprise-telemetry-can-be-fully-disabled/ https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/02/german-data-protection-age...

    Those allow you to set telemetry to "0- Security" via gpo. This notably does not disable telemetry phone homes on either edu or Enterprise SKUs. It reduces it, but there is still an awful lot sent back to MS.

    I tried to look for the enterprise version a few years back. It is unobtainium unless you're buying a few thousand of them.

      Have you tried resellers? eg. https://www.cdw.com/product/windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-2019-upgrade-license-1-license/5301533 https://www.cdw.com/product/windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-2019-... Also, I've heard that if you need to comply with volume licensing requirements (ie. minimum 5/25 products), you can buy a bunch of cheap CAL licenses.
