Yes this is common and even happens to me in the video at the 8 minute mark. Just try what I do in the video at the 8:10 mark...

I don't disagree with you but also know that you can fairly easily take a Home or Pro product and strip out or debloat just about every single feature. There are even third parties out there that offer these type of products. I actually hope to do a video on them here soon.

The IoT Server licenses for years have required that you install the product on a physical device before you sell and ship it. It always included virtualization rights but if you were just going to sell the Server IoT COA license and use it for a VM on existing hardware, that was not allowed until now! There is a specific part that allows you to sell it as a Virtual appliance. Look on my channel for my video that covers VMaaA or Virtual Machine as an Appliance.

thanks for this. i was wondering how to play minecraft under my gpu pass thru linux host system as there was no microsoft store when i installed this version of windows, which is needed for playing minecraft. although a lot of my games don't work because of kernel-level anti-cheat, even under the vm, i still have a gpu accelerated vm which is real useful to me.

@@neetdom glad my comment helped someone

It does yes. But Microsoft is working to resolve the issue with Sandbox.

Yes, it should be available this Fall to MSDN or Visual Studio subscribers. They released it early for IoT OEMs.

This video is from a year ago... The 11 IoT Ent LTSC 2024 product launched on May 22nd and is now available but only available to OEM's that manufacture appliances.

For the 11 LTSC, the Defender is under Windows Security Center and I'm afraid you cannot disable it. In the past there have been options including installing a 3rd party antivirus application but for this new product, we've been told it cannot be disabled.

You're a dumbf***. Anyone can install & use it on their home PCs. You can even activate it by "that method" if you want.

But you can...

I have it

Thank you for the tips... yeah my last batch of videos the audio is just terrible no question. I have a good Elgato Wave 3 mic but I changed my office and recently removed some absorbers.... I need to get it back to where I had it!

Thanks for the feedback. I think most of the issue is acoustic at this point.

Win 7 support ended back in 2020.... now it just the life and availability that remains. Even the Extended extended support is already done. Best to move to Win 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 or the new Win 11 IoT Ent LTSC 2024.

@@marstedt I highly doubt a PC running W7 can handle even this IoT version, plus, only a psychopath would still be at W7

You are correct! Yes TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module. I had security on my mind and some security software companies make a product called Threat Protection Modules and I had that on the brain. Good catch!

This is a great question and I'm going to give you the real true answer. I've supported Windows operating systems from version 1.0 which was almost 40 years ago. My entire career, I've assisted many customers, friends, and family which have all had similar requests in that once they found the version of Windows they really liked, they in many cases just don't want to move forward. They don't want new features and things like One Drive, Documents folder being stored in the cloud, and new versions of MS Paint, etc. If we ranked the best versions of Windows of all time, I strongly believe that Windows XP would win hands down. It was simple, small form factor, few features, and it just worked really well. Windows 7 would come in a close second as it was a little more modern but still really simple. It was Vista that started the problems... we all hated Vista and then of course Windows 8 which forced into a touch screen world that nobody was ready to move into. What many end users do not realize is that Microsoft had an embedded windows operating system that ran parallel to regular windows going back to the mid 90's. The embedded versions were stripped down and super basic just enough to run an appliance. Microsoft never promoted these products and they were never available to the general public. In 2015, Microsoft launched Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015 along side the launch of regular Windows 10 Home and Pro. The IoT version is what replaced the embedded product name. The IoT version is not for home users and is strictly for OEMs that build appliances. My entire channel is dedicated to finding OEM's that are not aware of this IoT product and get them off of Windows Pro. Now to directly answer your question. Since you are not an OEM and do not have access to Windows IoT products, the fact that you are wanting something simple without Onedrive, the cloud, Recall, Copilot, IA, data mining, etc... honestly, your only option is to downgrade back to Windows 7. Windows 10 Pro has downgrade rights back to 7 Pro. Just go back and run Windows 7. Of course newer hardware may not have drivers but in most cases, it works. I've loaded Windows 7 on brand new AMD and Intel systems without any issues. If that isn't an option, then simply move to Linux. Download Ubuntu and find a Windows theme. In many cases what I'm seeing is that a home user that really wants the IoT version can in many cases find it on key sites or other illegal sites but if you want something that is legal, get a Win 10 Pro license and downgrade to 7 Pro. The other option is the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 is available to end-users as an upgrade via the Volume channel but it is an expensive upgrade in the $275 range. That is simple too expensive for an end-user. But you can google Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 Volume edition how to buy and you'll see the options. IoT equals embedded which equals OEMs building appliances. You do not need Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC as you are not an OEM building an appliance.

AMD64 is just x64... it means Intel or AMD x64 processors while the ARM64 is for ARM processors such as Qualcomm or NXP.

My channel isn't directed at end users and is focused directly at OEM's that build appliances. I'm sure the youtube algorithm cannot determine if you are an end-user or an OEM so it promotes to both type of users. An end user can purchase this product as an upgrade but it is very expensive. Just google Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 Volume channel edition. The Win 11 IoT Ent LTSC Volume edition isn't out yet... won't be out till later this fall.

As an end user you can purchase the volume 11 Enterprise LTSC upgrade but it’s expensive. Hey I agree with you and provide feedback often to Microsoft.

Microsoft just changed direction on the Recall feature and it will be turned off by default. They took some heat for that one. It's good that they are trying to listen to the public.

Depends on if you like 10 or 11 better.

Honestly we’ll have to give it some time. It is based on the 4th build version of windows 11 but the 10 LTSC 2021 was based on the 13th build of windows 10. That LTSC 2021 product is rock solid.

ha funny you say that as my office is tiny! I totally get this.

@@WindowsChamp Yea....Jesus, get a mic...dude....

It really doesn't make sense for that scenario and technically it doesn't qualify for the IoT version of LTSC. The non LTSC version is a $275 upgrade to Pro and well that $275 would better be spent on a higher model graphics card. The IoT version is strictly for OEM's that are building appliances and requires signing a legal agreement. I know many of my viewers are just end users that in many cases aren't even paying for a real license. Even if I were to look at it from that angle, I would still stick with the GAC version of 11 for a home user. The GAC version of Windows 11 both Pro and Enterprise get you 3 years of support on a single build which is more than enough time between Windows updating forcing you to a newer build.

Because the pricing is part of the agreement that is signed, I can't publish the pricing here but if you reach out to us at windowsIoT@arrow.com, we can give you a good comparison. I can also say that the SQL IoT is a minimum 50% less expensive than the CSP Volume channel SQL licenses.

Thank you Ken, appreciate this info!

@copefxwhat’s mas?

Hey Jason, technically the IoT versions are not for home users. The IoT licenses are strictly for OEMs that build fixed purpose appliances. Of course like all Microsoft products there are pirated websites that will sell keys which are not licenses but will any many cases activate. Lots of end user home users out there that aren't concerned about being legal and will buy keys to activate the O/S but to be legal, you need a physical COA sticker license which is only available from an authorized distributor such as Arrow electronics and you must be an OEM that has signed the legal agreement with Microsoft.

@@WindowsChamp thank you a most thorough answer that not only answers my specific question, but answers all anticipated follow-up questions. The existence of a stable bloatware free IoT edition shows that it is feasible to have such an edition. Remember when Microsoft claimed it cannot remove Internet Explorer without compromising the stability of Windows? Well, some enterprising hacker was able to do just that. That experience showed that, like Linux, Windows is more modularized than Microsoft tells us, making it possible and easy to debloat it. I suspect the Windows that runs in Azure or Windows 365 is the equivalent of this on-prem IoT edition so it does not unnecessarily consume computing resources on Microsoft-owned servers. It’s even possible that Microsoft intentionally makes the non-virtualized version bloated so to make its Azure version attractive to increase sales of Azure. It’s all about money. It’s all about swaying public sentiment to increase the sale even it means being a tad shady.

@@WindowsChamp I was really hyped about this product when it was available for purchase. it's really stupid that it can't be legally taken for a single machine or computer for normal users. There is already an illegal version on the Internet and you can easily find a licensed key for free. For those of us who are willing to pay for the original, there is no option. It doesn't matter, but completely stupid.

@@kele92 Hey I don't disagree with anything you just said. There actually is a Volume Win 11 LTSC upgrade for end-user customers however it is very expensive. But if you have a system that has say 10 Pro or 11 Pro license on it, you can purchase the Volume CSP version of 11 LTSC for your own home use. The downside is that it is an upgrade to Pro and it is expensive. But for the Home user, Microsoft's focus is Home and Pro edition. I agree with you in that they should have an LTSC for Home users that is affordable, but they don't.

The Win 11 IoT Ent LTSC 2024 supported processors are listed here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/hardware/processor_requirements

First I've heard of any issues with Sandbox on LTSC editions. I fired up my Win 10 IoT Ent LTSC 2021 edition and sandbox works great. I need to test it with the 11 LTSC. What sort of issue did you have?

​@@WindowsChampIt asks me to restart the computer by going into control panel, selecting sandbox and enabling it. During the restart, it gives the error "There was a problem while updating and the old settings were reverted".

@@blackmirror2992 Gotcha, yes I just had the same problem on the 11 IoT Ent LTSC. Are you having this issue on the 11 LTSC? I'll run this by the Microsoft IoT Engineering team.

@@WindowsChamp Yes, I am having problems with windows 11 lot Ent LTSC. Thank you very much for your interest in the subject. I hope the problem is solved as soon as possible.

yeah you definitely can

@@George-uv7wt Awesome, I'll take a look at it.

The IoT LTSC products are not available to end-user consumers. You have to be an OEM that is building a gaming system like the steamdeck for example. But yet, this would make a great O/S for an OEM building a dedicated gaming system.

@@WindowsChamp Thank you for your answer

Well there is difference between selling Windows to an OEM and to an Enterprise

IoT Ent LTSC is only for special kind of device not for general device. And IoT Ent LTSC microsoft will provide 10 years of support from the release date

@@VashuRPG Which one do you use or prefer? Are you aware of any potential issues with installing and using IoT Ent LRSC as your daily OS?

@@Corteum if you want use OS for specific purpose . windows IoT LTSC is the best OS as compare to other Windows OS.

@@VashuRPG I just want a faster, more reliable, smoother ux, withotu all the bloatation and crustations that come with the regular Win11 Pro.

@@Corteum FYI: Windows IoT LTSC doesn’t comes with preinstall UWP apps such as Microsoft store, wether, cortana, Photos etc, so because of that it makes this OS very fast..but if you want use this OS for your regular use than its not for you, as per Microsoft compliance you can’t use this for general use

It should work, maybe it doesn't work for you because you either use Evaluation version or your system doesn't support/have virtualisation enabled.

@@MIOG_MIOG There was a problem because it was a trial version. Everyone had the same problem.

It is by far way better than 11 pro. It is Enterprise which is Pro but with a ton more features and all the stuff you don't need removed.

No, using the TPM is optional.

TPM is optional. Microsoft has it listed as preferred on their chart as they prefer you to use TPM but for this IoT LTSC 11, it is Optional

Yeah, like running server 2003 and thinking you could get anything you want to run to work right.
