I'd buy it but I haven't been able to figure out how to.
- fl0wenol 5y agoThat's exactly what you do. Find a guide on buying LTSC through a Microsoft partner. It's expensive but you can effectively install it many times. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-instructions-for-purchasing-a-windows-10-ltsc-license https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-inst...
- exikyut 5y agoWait, you can actually do this legitimately??!?!?! TIL how I'm going to be buying Windows from now on. I had no idea this was actually this accessible. Pirating can sometimes be the simplest technical solution to some situations, but at the end of the day being able to point at a (set of) legitimately-acquired license key(s) is a bit like having a PhD, it squares everything off in a way that opens doors (or keeps doors open) that would otherwise be shut.
- runnerup 5y agoThis is honestly wonderful news. $300 is entirely reasonable for a "clean", full-featured windows OS! I'm on version 21H1 -- is this offered with the 2019 LTSC license? Or stuck with version 1909? I'm not sure that really matters for me personally - but sometimes it's confusing how this all works compared to the consumer editions. By confusing I just really just mean they don't seem offer this information upfront.
