A multi-boot adventure - Windows 10 x64 Enterprise IoT LTSC 21H2

[Charodiy_91]

So far,
Gaming on W10 Ent IoT LTSC Just Works.
0 (additional*) complications vs. my Win10 Pro and Win 10 Ent LTSB experiences.

Hello. I saw your topic is interesting in terms of the experience that you have with an IoT OS. Also, I see that you have experience with Windows 10 Enterprise (2021) LTSC. Was your experience positive with both Windows 10 Enterprise 2021 LTSC and Windows 10 x64 Enterprise IoT LTSC 21H2? Also want to ask you, what version IoT or simple Enterprise is better in your opinion for everyday use?
I want to move from Windows 7 x64 Pro to Windows 10 because software developers started to discard the support of older OS (including Windows 7). I will be much obliged for your help and propositions.
My PC is not a "beefy" machine (FX 8350 + 16 Gb DDR3 + GTX 960 + 1 SATA SSD and 1 HDD) it is mostly for work tasks like image processing, office (Word, Excel, etc.), also some simple video editing. A couple of days a week I play games like BF1, Deux Ex, The Witcher, and some others, so Steam, Gog, and EGS software is desirable to have on hand.

Yes. Win10 Enterprise IoT LTSC is simply a 'longer life' Win10 Enterprise LTSC in my experience.
The only things 'different' vs. 'consumer' Windows I've noticed is the need to manually install Visual C++, .Net, and DirectX. Otherwise, equivalent function or better.

I've been daily driving it. (wasn't quite ready to jump over to Linux)

I 'stagnated' on Win7pro for as long as I could, too. Started out w/ W10Pro on my R5 3600.
W/ your AMD FX, I believe the updated scheduler in 10 Ent IoT LTSC 2021 will be an improvement.

I see Win 10 Ent IoT LTSC as merely a 'very long life Windows 10'; I think you'll be very happy with it
(especially, since Win10/Win11 'retail channel' feature updates are probably uninteresting.)

What do you think about UUP dump? Is it official enough?
