Windows doesn’t sell enterprise shit to normal people

This is why you gotta totally avoid sites like this one https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

They typically don’t sell licenses to individuals and even if you were able to buy one for a reseller, it would be like $500.

There are other ways of activating it, but they are a gray area, and I’d only be willing to describe them to you through DM

But will those methods even survive future updates?

The greater point is, the pattern is very clear with Microsoft and windows, and it will continue to get worse, and your options will continue to shrink. It would be better to just put any effort towards learning to use Linux and escaping the ecosystem rather than continually trying to find the ever-decreasing bits of freedom you can extract from Windows.

The activation mechanism I use on my personal PC has been active for six years without issue, so I can only assume so. And yeah, migrating to Linux works for some people, sure. But there’s no harm in letting new people know there’s options.

This isn’t reddit, you don’t need to worry about being brigaded or cancelled for talking about piracy or J-Walking

More so just trying to give the mods less to clean up if they have to. Plus I think links to it are a faux pas

Essentially, no. If you don’t care about the cost, maybe with a MSDN subscription.
