    Or the year of grand piracy. “Someone I met” told me that while it is nearly impossible to purchase a legit copy, Windows 10 IoT LTSC is going to be supported until 2032. It is truly Windows as its meant to be without tons of bloat, telemetry, ads, and the option to decline feature updates. Scripts readily available on the web to activate the product, runs so cleanly and efficiently.

      To me, this gives off the same sort of energy as “Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system.”

      Getting an OS from questionable sources that MS is almost certain to be aware is not a legit copy and relying on their goodwill to in order to avoid either getting new hardware or switching to a more reliable and usually monetarily free OS.

      Maybe it’s that I’ve not been running Windows for over a decade but, I just don’t get it. You’re presumably going to be entrusting the OS with a Steam install and other potentially sensitive things.
