I am a power windows user and its such a shame ( on my end ) that I did not have a clue that Windows 10 LTSC existed till recently. I was quite happy with the Windows 10 PRO version, wanted to check out WIN 11, installed it, it started giving me the dreaded memory leak issue ( on AMD currently ) when opening windows explorer. Tried to revert back to windows 10 but the option was greyed out ( 10 days is the max time to revert back to Windows 10 ). Got to know about Windows 10 LTSC version, activated it with KMS and its snappy as f, no Ads, no Microsoft Store, no cortana, no bullshit. Basically the version people should've gotten in the first place.

> 10 days is the max time to revert back to Windows 10

What, why?!

Yes, after upgrading to windows 11, you get a 10 day period during which you can revert back to windows 10. After that it greys out automatically. I was forced to do a fresh install because of how laggy windows 11 was.

What's the purpose of this?

Means it's TECHNICALLY possible, and Microsoft actively takes away the option after 10 days?

Do people not hate this?

On macos the only way to revert is through full machine backups. That at least lets me think the upgrade is irreversible without backups, and then I am fine with it. :)

While I love LTSC, I think it is not possible to use the windows subsystem for linux on it.. which is my only pain point.

Sure is, on a new 2021 one.
