So far I've managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I've been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities.. If you don't mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?
I'm pretty sure it'll be a fresh install, even if you do it from within your existing install. It'll do a parallel install.

Fresh install is better tbh
Better, fair, but is it possible to upgrade an existing install? 😬
I have a lot going on right now and convenience is priority over ideal if I'm honest..
The thrid one looks like a solid suggestion: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/544156/windows-10-pro-to-ltsc See if you trust it.
Wow, thanks! That does look promising (to me as a lay person anyway!), I'll have to give it a try once I've sorted out that extra memory I've been meaning to buy since my backup space is running out, and I definitely want to make sure I have a solid back up before trying anything.
The last one about a backup is a great idea. Not because some receipt can be misleading, but because my 20y+ with Windows showed me it has some temper on it's own and can kick back for no reason.
I wish you to get it right without a problem.
Oh yeah, I've had my fair share of disaster, backing up lesson learned the hard way lol
I'll do my best to remember to update when I get around to trying the upgrade out. Thanks again!
