5 months agoI just used this last week with a Windows 11 install. It still works. :)
Eh, people should do what they want regarding retail vs LTSC. LTSC isn’t a holy grail and casual users will run into compatibility issues every now and then due to it having an older Windows base. Since OP mentioned gaming, they will definitely want to avoid LTSC if gaming is something they are interested in.
Regarding activation: HWID activation should be used whenever possible as it’s a permanent activation and will persist throughout OS reinstalls without any further action. KMS will need to be rearmed every so often and will need to be done again if an OS reinstall is ever needed, so it should be avoided whenever possible since it’s essentially a legacy activation process at this point.
