How does one even get a copy of LTSC to install?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

If you want to be legal because MS is stupid and doesn't sell LTSC to consumers, buy Windows Server Essentials for $300.

You get even longer support than the current LTSC ( because 10 is already nearing the end of support.) and absolutely none of the garbage pre installed. Patches are real patches and not an excuse to add advertising disguised as features.

There's this song from Lazy Town. It goes something like "yarr harr fiddle dee dee".

Either that or got a key off an admin (school, work, etc.)

There's also a chance it was bought through less legitimate means.

In any case, it is harder to obtain than even the regular Enterprise version, but not impossible.

E: oh I completely misread the question. To obtain it, I believe it can be obtained via UUPdump or something like that directly off of MS.
