Is there an easy way to get this version as a normal citizen? I remember needing Windows 10 in my previous job a few times a year, and we spent quite a while with our office manager to get me a license and get the LTSC version of Windows installed with the key. It worked eventually, but was definitely trickier than a normal Windows installation.
That to be said, my partner still uses that Windows version and it is definitely the right thing to use, if needing Windows.
Yeah, you can pirate it 😂. Heck, I’ve never bought a single license in my life 😂.
Seeiously though, I don’t think they seel it to individuals, only companies. I think you can buy a regular Enterprise license as an individual, but not an LTSC one.

It’s the only thing I recommend using IF you just had to use Windows and there was no other way around the issue. In any other scenario, I recommend Linux with Wine.
I’ve been using Linux since the 90’s so you’re preaching to the choir here :D Photoshop and Lightroom work quite badly with wine, so windows it is for my partner.
Edit: you can buy a key from eBay, but it is a bit in the gray area…
Nah, I’m a late adopter 😂. Actually, a friend of mine got me into it, he installed Gentoo (his first distro if you can believe that 😂), but that was too scary for me at the time (2004, 2005 I think 🤔) so I used Mandrake for a while. Then switched back to Win7 and used that for a while and then got back to Linux and now I dual boot with LTSC 2019 (mainly for stuff that are too hard to transfer to Linux, like software that is dependant on hardware to work properly and meant only to be run on Windows).
Yeah, I know about the OEM keys, they’re basically resells, all of them 😂, including the LTSC ones… but why bother when you got KMS38 😂.
I (mostly) use Linux too, but I have Windows 10 LTSC 2019 on dual boot. I need it for work 🤷… not all the time, I’ve replaced most of the things I need, but for some things there is no replacing them (things tied to hardware).

Wait for the 11 LTSC release next year, it will have this bullshit removed.
