Why can't they figure out a paid version for Professionals without any BS? WSL2 works fine, docker, Steam, multiple monitors, etc. Just remove the BS.

- CamperBob2 3y agoThey have (Enterprise LTSC). You can't have it. Also, you are now subscribed to OneDriveFacts(tm).
- taspeotis 3y agoYou can buy a grey market CD key cheaply or subscribe to whichever Microsoft 365 tier gives you Enterprise. The subscription model is somewhat expensive but if you’re able to make it a business expense for Windows + email hosting + the Office apps it’s not totally egregious.
- jacooper 3y agoThe issue with LTSC is it (afaik) sucks fkr gaming, with a lot of missing stuff for dx12 and so on.
- blibble 3y agoI've been running it on my gaming machine for several years and I have not had a single problem with it
- CamperBob2 3y agoI do have DX12 support in Win10 LTSC IoT, according to dxdiag. But I haven't tried to run any high-end games on this machine yet, so who knows if it would actually work.
- SushiHippie 3y ago> You can't have it. There is https://massgrave.dev https://massgrave.dev GitHub repo has ~54k stars https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts Microsoft seemingly does not really care I guess, otherwise they would've taken it down (GitHub is owned by Microsoft)
- taspeotis 3y agoYou mean Windows 11 Enterprise?
- slig 3y agoYes, but for Professionals. I do not want to run it illegally.
- taspeotis 3y agoThen pay for it?
- xboxnolifes 3y agoYou basically can't. It's a "contact sales" kind of sale. It's for businesses.
- whstl 3y agoDunno about Windows, but sadly, a lot of "professional" software also has this BS in abundance. Even when it's expensive. Anything with a modicum of respect for end-users is niche today.
