FAQ: >Where can I get the ISOs? >Where do I get Office? >Can I change edition post-install? Read the paste: rentry.org/fwt >Is Optimize-Offline worth it? No. >Should I debloat? Only if you understand everything that you're going to be intentionally breaking. If something doesn't work later, you probably broke it with some debloat memescript. >How do I activate? github.com/luzeadev/winactivate HWID mimics OEM activation to generate a permanent legitimate license. (Does not work on VL editions, avoid VL editions unless you enjoy having to deal with KMS breaking and Windows unactivating)
>>Which version should I get? >Home/Pro Comes preinstalled with bloatware apps like games, music, news, weather, etc. >Education/Workstation/Enterprise Comes with system apps. >LTSC/IoT LTSC Comes with nothing, no apps, not even MS Store Search LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore if you need it. There are no compatibility differences between versions, all programs/drivers will work on all versions of Windows.
>LTSC or IoT LTSC? LTSC meant for corporate PCs with 5 years security updates (KMS only). IoT LTSC meant for retail/medical/etc PCs with 10 years security updates (HWID only).
>Do I even need LTSC? W10 Home/Pro/Edu/WS/Ent editions are all EoL in 10/2025 (2027 for LTSC) whereas IoT LTSC will be supported until 2032.
>Is Windows 11 good? >Should I upgrade? Not yet.

Why should I trust this site when I can download win 10 directly from microsoft official site, and I'll know that in my OS didn't have some ditry hands of a random guy from the internet, but only dirty hands of MS?
Friendly reminder that the only safe way to use Windows if you value your privacy on any level, is to build a custom image like AME (or never use it with an internet connection).
then don't? I don't even know what site that is If you really wanted to verify you would look at the hashes of the ISOs, if they are the same then you would know they weren't tampered with

Hi guys, so I'm undecided between whether or not I should go back to win 10 or stay in 11. 11 looks nice however I've noticed a bunch of performance hiccups in the shell itself that kind of annoy me. It doesn't feel nowhere near as fast as windows 10. Should I stop beta testing for microsoft or stay a loyal sheep? exactly, you already know what to do.
Cameron Ramirez
Merely a friendly reminder. Have a nice day and a great thread.

> exactly, you already know what to do. > then don't? I don't even know what site that is Then why did somebody put that doubtful links in your faq?
I didn't make the FAQ I just browse the thread, the OP isn't law

Outlook ships with Windows 10 and 11, and is almost exclusively used on Windows devices. Further, there is nothing disingenuous in what I have provided, you simply cannot see the forest for the trees.
Kayden Sanchez
Does this mean that the advice from the pic is bullshit?
Hi. user, on windows 7 there's an orthodox and safe simplix that allows you to integrate updates into the system so it's not such a leaky sieve. Is there something like that on windows 8.1? Without trojans and backdoors, of course...
Juan Baker
I use W11, it didn't come with outlook furthermore that is an article about Outlook the website not outlook the desktop client. Outlook is part of Microsoft Office, which is a separate paid product, it doesn't come with the OS.
I literally installed W10 hundreds of time when I was doing computer repair, I am 100% certain it doesn't come with Office
Ian Perry
No it just means not everyone in the thread uses it, Activators for example are for people that don't want to pay for Windows, my key was given to me for free, so it activated my Windows for free, I didn't need to pay nor use an activator
Andrew Reed
Windows Mail (which absolutely ships with Windows 10 and 11) is based on outlook. It's essentially nu-Outlook Express.
Jackson Jones
Cant help but notice you completely ignored the part about the backdoor being about the website and not the desktop client Being based on outlook can still be true while not actually being outlook.
Nathan Allen
Windows Mail is not outlook

Trying to install windows 10 IoT from a USB, takes a long time for the windows logo to show up in the setup and when it does the computer reboots, why?
Jacob White
How the FUCK do I reset my win 10 laptop? >There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made. Trying reset with no files, keeping files, trying "fresh start", doing this from settings or doing it from shift-restart ("Insert Win install or recovery media")
>cmd prompt: config ren system system.001 >The process can’t access the file because it is being used by another process. Same happens when booted into safe mode.
>you need to sign in as an administrator to continue but there aren't any admin accounts When I tried to get to cmd prompt from shift-restart. Made a new account, removed old one, no change.
I can't boot from USB to reinstall because I'm a retard that forgot BIOS password. I don't have a cd-drive either, is getting an USB one the next step? >inb4 stolen laptop kek

Can't help but notice that you have completely ignored the other links I've shared, several of which discuss incidents of Microsoft placing backdoors for glowie agencies in a number of its products, including Windows itself.
