Using Windows 10 past EOL (via LTSC supported to 2032)

10LTSC + Office 2016 + open shell is the peak windows experience.

2016 was the last year you could autosave documents locally, then fucking OneDrive.

Grab an ISO from Massgrave, write using Rufus and two scripts later your fully tweaked.

My PC doesn't have TPM. It's old, but still perfectly fine to run for my needs. I use Unreal 5, play games, watch videos. Could run quicker but it's no landfill device. I don't think it'll suddenly fall to pieces come October so I wasn't looking to scrap it by then.

Looks like the IoT LTSC version will work. I'm still hoping that Microsoft relent on this move. Last I checked Windows 10 is still a very popular OS and I find it unlikely that people are going to update if they haven't already. If some kind of WannaCry attack happens due to a security hole it's going to look bad on them.

Also, as a kinda dark humor moment. October 14th is the retirement day of Windows 10, which is also international e-waste day. Unless I missed the memo, I thought it was an effort to prevent creating e-waste not one of planned obsolescence to try and make more.

Bookmarked this for some weekend fiddling.
