I am currently using the Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LSTC as my Steam/Windows box in my living room home theater. I was previously using Bazzite/SteamOS, but I cannot utilize HDMI 2.1/ FSR4 (Radeon 9070XT) or Dolby Atmos, so until that is fixed I am using WIndows 10 Enterprise, which is nice, but I am thinking about going to the new Enterprise version of WIndows 11 as certain things just work better on Windows 11, especially HDR (although it certainly does work in 10) and I was wondering if anyone had experience.

Here are some videos explaining what this version of Windows 11 is.







WIndows 10



This is Microsofts opportunity to have a home run OS with consumers.

The big hold up is that Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC isn't for sale officially, but it is available for a 90 day evaluation.

I'm using the 24H2 Windows 11 LTSC and it's very good.
Extremely stable, haven't noticed any bugs and performance is great due to not being bloated with spyware and all those Microsoft apps.

I tried it a couple of years ago, but there was some non-gaming reason that I had to go back to Pro. Can't remember exactly, but the gaming aspect was fine. Now that my PC is 100% dedicated to gaming I might actually go back to this version at some point. Between this and JoyXOFF, you are pretty close to a console experience.

How does one acquire Win 10/11 Enterprise IoC LSTC?

 

[Mithos]

Yes, since Nov 1st 2024, when I upgraded my PC to the 5700x3D and RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Worked without any issues so far.

Bazzite/AMD user here: you know you can use VRR over DisplayPort, right? (Need DP -> HDMI adapter for TV).

Not sure about FSR4 though (I only have 7900XT)

Yes, I did a ton of research and had a working cable, but it was a major pain in the ass to get it to work. I got tired of constantly plugging and unplugging it, I had to go in and out of desktop mode.

When it worked, it worked perfectly, but it was frustrating trying to get help so I said fuck it and gave up. The windows 10 setup I have now works fine. If Bazzite/AMD/HDMI Forum can solve this issue I will switch back in a heartbeat.

Pro is bloated but just uninstall what you don't need manually is a pretty easy task yet annoying.

Windows Enterprise is volume licensing only. So unless you're willing to shell out for a KMS server etc you don't.

Apparently...there are other ways....

People resell this all over. Just Google for windows 11 enterprise key. If it gets eventually pulled, just buy another one down the line. They are like under $20.
