FAQ:
>How do I activate Windows?
github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
HWID mimics OEM activation to generate a permanent legitimate license.
(Does not work on VL editions that need KMS, avoid VL eds)

>>Which version should I install?
>Home/Pro
Comes preinstalled with bloatware apps like games, music, news, weather, etc.
>Education/Workstation/Enterprise
Comes with basic system apps.
>LTSC (VL, 5 years support, KMS only) / IoT LTSC (10 years support, HWID only)
Comes with Win32 system apps, no MS Store, no feature updates, security updates only.
If you need MS Store, run this in cmd: wsreset -i
There are no compatibility differences between versions.

>Do I even need IoT LTSC?
W10 Home/Pro/Edu/WS/Ent editions are all EoL in 10/2025 (2027 for LTSC), IoT LTSC will be supported until 2032.

>How do I activate Office?
rentry.org/fwt#kms_vl_all-by-abbodi1406
Installs a KMS server emulator, not ideal as KMS trips AV sometimes and deactivates. Alternatively, use MSOffice through your browser since it's free. As a last resort, you can try Open/Libre Office and set it to save as Office file formats.

>Where can I get the ISOs?
>Where do I get Office?
heidoc.net/php/myvsdump.php
Find SHA1 of the ISO you want and download anywhere, then verify SHA1 with 7zip.
or heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool
>Can I change edition post-install?
rentry.org/fwt
>Is Optimize-Offline worth it?
>Should I debloat?
If you need to ask, then no. You WILL break something and then come crying about updates/store/whatever not working.

>Installation for retards:
rentry.org/windows_for_retards

>Is Windows 11 good?
>Should I upgrade?
Not yet.

>B-b-b-but muh Windows 7!

Is there a way to make windows get stopped on borders like on MacOS when moving them?
