Use LTSB. Microsoft tries to scare you into not using it because it doesn't support the Windows store or Edge or have telemetry or any of that fun stuff.

But they keep coming out with respins of it to otherwise keep feature parity with CB Enterprise. A 2017 LTSB based on 1703 should be out soon.

They already lied with Enterprise. What indication is there that LTSB editions won't suffer the same fate, if they haven't already?

Scare me? It sounds like those awesome stripped down versions of XP that pirates removed all the cruft from back in the day.

You were able to do it yourself with nLite.

Memories!

So, how/where do you gain access to buying this as a private customer? (willing to do this the long twisted way if there is a way)
