For my aunt
Doing a fresh install of windows 10 iot ltsc… Because it works, and I refuse to learn windows 11 just to do tech support.

Make sure you put Linux on that bad boy before October.
I’m kind of jealous that you have that option.
Anyone can download the iso from archive.org, verify the checksum with ms, and if your feeling frisky buy a license key off of eBay for a few dollars.
Good man!
If you know win10 the learning curve for win11 is flat though
You say that… and i agree for the individual user,
but for doing tech support - i think all of the dark patterns ms uses in their retail environment is going to setup a older person for failure. I don’t want one drive to get pushed or auto-installed. I don’t want edge to take over everything. I don’t want to try to debug whatever copoilt / recall is doing this week. I don’t want to start bar/task bar to get filled with micro advertisements.
Thats why I went with IOT LTSC, sure, I don’t have the windows store, but on the other hand I don’t have the windows store.
When windows 8? Was a thing and Ms had this all tile interface I once tried to print a document in a hotel… I felt like the interface was actively fighting me the entire time, the single most difficult computer interaction in my life. (And I used os/2)
I use win 11, but i put my parents on osx. Not as good as it used to be, but a bit less intrusive than windows.
Regarding os/2 that was my ideal os for many years. Its kinda what osx could have been, until they deviated into what it is today
This is what convinced me it was a reasonable used computer.
It cost $300, 64 GiB Ram, 512 nvme ssd, big screen for old eyes
and its extra verified in qubes if I should ever be regifted the laptop back.
Heck yeah
