Hi all. I've just ordered my new system upgrade from oc with a little help...
Ive been using win10 for my last rig and am wondering if win10 would be ok or win11 better for new sysyem.
Also, as far as key code for win 10/11, where is best to get it from. Tyia.

Windows 11, hate a lot of the changes from Windows 10 but you adjust.

Windows 10 LTSC IOT and it is not even a close consideration.

Agree but that is for Enterprise not sure you can purchase key for standard user.

W11 is awful try to avoid even if it means you end up being on Win10 after support has expired.

They are for business use and you need a minimum of 5 Windows 10 pro licenses before you can upgrade to LTSC

you also need to sign the corporate contract as well.

TSC version is a corporate product so one need to sign a corporate contract with at least 5 licenses. Please note, one need to have Windows 10 Professional license to install LTSC license so it is expensive enough.
Please contact Microsoft partner near you for purchase.

Just google it, you can buy it. The least bloatware and is literally bare bones windows. You can even fully turn off telemetry in the group policy settings. Microsoft is not going to come after you if anyone fancies attempting to scare you. I personally will not use any other version of windows, MS can **** right off.

Easily purchasable.

Win 11 and I find it's best to get it from an approved dealer. Just search around to get the best deal. And get Windows Pro or Enterprise. I use Pro so that I don't need a Microsoft Account.

It's worth getting a few "tweakers" to make it easy to disable and remove bloatware/unwanted settings and features.

Win11 if you want to play games... Otherwise Linux mint or Ubuntu.

I'd go with windows 11 personally. All my PC's are now

Go with Win 11. There's not a lot of differences, and it'll be much better supported in the coming years.
