![]() The graphic designs on those images really make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The first thing I did was hop onto and I did a search for “Windows 10 LTSB.” You can see my search results below: The results are here for you below! Step 1: Find Windows 10 LTSB on eBay So I decided to take the plunge and test once and for all if the Windows LTSB licenses on eBay were legit and if I could install it on my laptop. There are tons of Windows licenses for sale on eBay for anywhere from $6 – $20 USD. But what if you want LTSC on a machine you built yourself? There are a few options but none of them are conducive to small studios. Many computer vendors these days will be able to install LTSC for you, and if you don’t see it on their site, send them a quick email and ask. The easiest way to get LTSB/LTSC is to buy it pre-installed on your computer when you buy it from the vendor. But for our installations, it’s helpful to not have constant new features auto-installing themselves onto our production machines. I have even read that future releases of LTSC will not be allowed to install applications like Microsoft Office, as yet another way of keeping normal people away from LTSC. To dive in, why am I even writing this post? It’s just getting a copy of Windows, right? I wish! Microsoft doesn’t want people using LTSB/LTSC unless they absolutely need to for medical machinery or things like ATMs. LTSC was released about a week before I did this test, so it hasn’t found it’s way onto eBay just yet. I should correct myself now, because Microsoft has changed the name to Windows 10 LTSC (long term support channel) for the newest version, but for this article, I’ll continue to call it LTSB, because I did in fact install Windows 10 LTSB 2016 edition, and not the newer LTSC version. This is where Windows 10 LTSB comes in, as the most stable version of Windows 10 that you can find. This leaves interactive professionals like myself in a somewhat dicey situation where we need the newest version of Windows for it’s features and security, but we dream about when Windows 7 was so stable. Then Microsoft had to go and change things and release Windows 8 and then Windows 10. ![]() As I’ve mentioned before in previous posts, there used to be a perfect TouchDesigner system. ![]()
