Woke up to my computer being updated to W11 from W10, not too happy about that. I want to use massgrave to change my window to W10 LTSC.

I am not interested in Linux.

So, I went to massgrave.dev and did the script, hit 1, etc. It just say something about permanent changed to key or whatever.

So I went download W10 LTSC iso, hit setup.exe and it asked me for product key. I entered my key, say it’s not right one.

So could somebody run me step by step how to go about it? I’m not really tech savvy. I want literal step by step, telling me exactly what to do.

Thank you.

Edit: folks didn’t really provide step by step here. But I managed to do it. I activiated script via powershell and hit change edition, changed it to LTSC. And then I downloaded window 10 consumer version from massgrave and run setup.exe and done. You might have to do first step shown in first part of massgrave.dev.

So my pc went from w10 to w11 (woyhouy my approval) to w11 LTSC, to w10 IoT enterprise. I’m good now.

      Pretty much, everyone praise Linux here. I tried few favors of Linux, could never get into it. They say you have total control over it and yet I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands and stuff like that. Looking for hidden files and all. I just gave up. Windows is just too convenient for me.

        ls to list files
        ls -a to list all files (including hidden)
        ls -l to list files with their attributes
        ls -la to list all files with their attributes

        You can add a path after the command and parameters if you want to look in a folder you’re not in.

        Don’t hate the OS for a skill issue, learn the basics, it’s way more efficient and you can even bring some of it back to Windows in PowerShell.

        Linux is way easier to use once you break up with Windows. Hell, you can pretty much bump around in just the desktop environment if you really wanted - especially in something like Ubuntu where there are GUI applications for like everything.

          I’m sorry but it’s still complicated for me. Learn basic? I just want to click, right click and stuff just happen. Terminals sucks for folks like me. I’m gonna hate it all I want.

        You do.

        yet I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands

        I mean, would you prefer the terminal simply guess at what you’re trying to do and execute random commands?

        Looking for hidden files and all.

            That’s an exceedingly poor attitude. How do you expect to learn anything in life, let alone something you seem to want to learn with that attitude?

          ll is an alias of ls -la not all distros will know ll by default unless you add it to your aliases.

            I was demonstrating the ease of showing hidden files, not proselytizing that ll is in every distro… Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with this post.

              Probably trying to stop OP from typing ll in a distro where it doesn’t exist and getting even more entrenched in their belief that Linux is hard.

                Again, you’re completely missing the point here. Focusing on the wrong thing. Goose for the gander.
