If for example you ran Windows 10 LTSC, would this be a much better option for a gaming rig rather than Windows 10 standard? Some comments around reckon almost 10% difference in perf?
 
I might do the same and stick it on virtual box see if I can live without some of the bloat. Need Win Store I think though for Forza 4 and Xbox Game Pass>?
 
The processes list is veeerry long! Does the LTSB contain same improvements to scheduler re Ryzen?
 
Doesn't LTSB ever get updates? Surely they're make a release a year or so later that has updates for hardware?

If I partition my NVME drive, can I simply load the Windows 10 ISO and install onto that partition to have 2 dual booting? I'd like to give it a try running natively as opposed to a VM before getting rid of my current Windows 10 install.
 
Hmm, so the best option is streamlining with apps such as Nlite is it? But even so if one does not know what is doing with that it can cause stability issues?
 
LTSB would be viable for my laptop wouldn't it ? With a GTX1070 and a 7820HK it's not going to have any hardware changes that would be incompatible.

I do this a lot:

1. PS Script (I can share) that will whitelist the important things and give you the option to remove the rest
2. Cortana can be managed by local policy
3. Do it to an offline image and the bloat will never re-appear
4. Don't use LTSB if you rely on updates and having the latest and greatest W10 version.

So what in total has been removed from your Windows 10 install?
