Windows 10 LTSC: Optimized version of the system without Store, Edge, Cortana, OneDrive (faster than Pro!)

Good day!

Would you like to download an optimized Windows 10 operating system without Store, Edge, Cortana, OneDrive? Oddly enough, but such a system exists (moreover, the official one from Microsoft) - its original name "Windows 10 LTSC"!

In my opinion, this is a very good replacement for any assemblies, inside which they could push anything ...

Perhaps the only problem for some may be the lack of the Russian language in the menu (but this can be easily eliminated by installing a language pack, and, moreover, also officially).

So I propose to take a closer look at this OS ... 👀

Windows 10 LTSC: Where, What, Why, Why ...

What is the difference between LTSC and other versions of the 10s

Windows 10 LTSC is a stripped-down version of the Enterprise OS. The main difference between Enterprise and LTSC - in the number of applications (built into the system), and the method of receiving updates.

For example, LTSC lacks:

  1. Microsoft Store;
  2. Microsoft Edge browser (there is Internet Explore);
  3. Windows Ink Workspace;
  4. Cortana;
  5. Game mode, night lighting;
  6. OneDrive, and a number of other software.

Pay attention to the screenshot below: the START menu (and in general the taskbar) looks unusually empty ...👀

Windows 10 LTSC / Clickable

Another important difference between LTSC from other versions of Windows - it is working with updates. The fact is that in regular assemblies, all updates are put in a row (the system is constantly "annoyed" by these), in LTSC, updates concern only the stability and security of the system (and, as a rule, they are very rare: 1-3 per year!).

This OS is intended primarily for various companies and organizations (who do not need various beautiful menus ...). However, nothing prevents us (ordinary users) from installing it, since the OS can be used for free for 90 days!

Well, a few words about optimization

In this regard, the LTSC system is an order of magnitude faster and more efficient than Windows 10 Pro or Home. For LTSC to work, 1-1.5 GB of RAM and about 10 GB of hard disk space will be enough! Even the number of processes by default does not exceed 4 dozen (there are at least 70 in Pro)!

Quite good optimization ...

The only drawback: as mentioned above, the system will have to be installed in English (which may cause severe discomfort for some users). However, this is fixable ...

Where to download the LTSC version

On the official website: //www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise

By clicking on the link above to the official Microsoft website - you will need to indicate that you need an image "ISO LTSC" (see screenshot), then fill out the form (indicating your full name, phone number, e-mail address).

ISO upload form

Then select the system capacity (32/64 bit), language and click on the button "Loading" .

Language selection, ISO download

When the ISO image is downloaded, it will need to be written to a USB flash drive (and proceed to installing the OS).

How to add Russian language

And so, we will assume that you already have English Windows 10 LTSC installed.

1) First you need to press the Win + i button combination (the Windows 10 settings window should appear).

2) Then go to the menu "Time & language -> Region & language" , click on the button "Add Language" and add Russian. It is usually sufficient to download a few missing language packs. After rebooting the system, everything will be in Russian ...

By the way!

Many users in LTSC cannot find the explorer icon on the taskbar (it is not there, you don't have to search 👌). To start explorer use either "Magnifier" with search, or a keyboard shortcut Win + E .
