    Y’all need to get yourselves that Windows 10 2021 LTSC IoT badboy (IoT part is important). It’s supported until 2032 and it’s only bloat is edge. If I had to use windows again it would be that.

      I couldn’t find a version of this that would work in a VM. The few I tried were “preactivated” and then complained about hardware changes when I tried to install in a VM.

      No I’m not asking people to find me a working release. I’m just complaining that I just can’t be assed mucking around with unlicensed installations.

        the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

          Yeah I bought some keys a while back.

          It never seems to be as easy as “type in this key”. They get linked to my Microsoft account or some nonsense.

          You most certainly don’t need a book and I can almost guarantee you that the book is already out of date and irrelevant.

          Just dig in and get dirty and figure it out.

            If I had an extra machine I totally would fafo, but alas I must approach with caution.
