Considering Windows 11 IoT LTSC for gaming PC...
I'm not very keen on switching to Windows 11 because of its privacy concerns, data gathering practices, and that controversial recall feature. I've been looking into it and it seems buying a license for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC might help reduce some of these issues.
But I'm uncertain whether all the games I currently play will function properly on this system. Most of my initial research—especially about purchasing a license—has been done using AI, so I was hoping to get some real feedback from other users.
Does anyone know if Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC can run games as well as Windows 10 or Home Windows 11?
I can share basic system details if needed.

Your price is USD $40.99'
HAHAHA.....that doesn't sound very "valid", it's not even a joke.
An Enterprise license isn't offered as a standalone product.

(remember...it's not $40)
You understand that every game launcher is monitoring you, your phone is tracking you, most of your new gadgets like the fridge, dryer, washer, TV, and ISP router are all listening. There should be no real expectation of genuine privacy online. Even those skilled at setting up partial privacy know how often these systems fail. The real issue is, what exactly are you doing that makes this matter so important only to advertisers and data collectors?
The 40 dollars looked unusual. Do you remember the price of a single device license? I explored the links you shared and ended up at the contact sales page.
I mean, even a typical hacker would want my (or anyone else's) SS number and CC numbers.

Ignoring privacy worries right now, I'd rather avoid the performance drop from extra tracking, data gathering, and screenshots.
