Hey everyone! I know some people say Windows 10 Enterprise collects less data and avoids many common issues found in standard Windows 10. Are you using it as your primary operating system? What are your thoughts on its pros and cons? Thanks!
I experimented with Windows Server 2016 Essentials for a brief time, but it wasn't practical beyond large organizations that rely on domain controllers. When I checked Windows 10 Enterprise, it seemed you'd need an Azure domain controller to handle the licensing changes from Win 10 Pro to Enterprise E5. This wasn't straightforward, especially after trying it for over ten minutes; setting up Server 2016 was extremely challenging and ultimately gave up before it worked properly. A professional would be better suited for this task.
Are you finding it difficult to obtain the license and installation process, or is there something specific in the Microsoft documentation that’s unclear?
Yes, it’s mainly about downloading and installing the updates. Whether a domain controller is required depends on your setup. Regarding Enterprise licenses, there are two options: you can purchase a full set for deployment or subscribe to only what you need. It can be confusing which path fits your needs.
I used to try that, getting cheap keys from eBay, but I can't suggest it. If you need to reinstall later, the key will usually fail and show an odd error message—don’t reach out to Microsoft unless you have a solid explanation.
which company? regular enterprise or enterprise LTSB? the regular enterprise isn't much different, but LTSB is cutting out a lot of unnecessary stuff. it doesn't have Windows Store or clunky live tile apps with bloatware pre-installed—not even Solitaire. no Cortana, no Bing taskbar search (just local file searches), and no pointless "feature upgrades" that break things for no reason except for anniversary and creator updates. just security and stability improvements.
