But I mean to use a tool like Macrium or Hasleo, with manual back You can only back up data, but not recover in minutes the full system.

@harlan4096 can you put Windows 11 back in the pulldown list ?

 

[harlan4096]

Sorry, I can't access to that, should be an Admin of the forum.

How is trend micro ?
Does it feel light ?

Btw I would probably advise CPU balance(some kind of CPU governor that makes sure ui always has headroom) And some software to automatically change to ultimate performance plan when connected to power


Btw first time seeing a Linux user installing an av in windows XD


Oh and I'm interested to know what browser you are using

TM is very light, and im not using it in a VM, i reinstalled my laptop, want to try Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC.

What's Windows 11 LTSC, and can you install it on your computer?

The LTSC edition of Windows 11 is only for specific setups, and Microsoft plans to release it during the second half of 2024.

www.windowscentral.com

It runs really good and no bloatware or useless apps installed.

I use Edge and Chrome.

For now no, need Windows for testing Work Apps.

Windows is light only without an av (defender disabled ) and ltsc in my experience and the desktop window manager windows uses is lighter then some desktop environments in Linux


But that's specifically for very low end machines and for those you wouldn't use a desktop environment in Linux rather a window manager so it would be lighter that way then ltsc windows

But modren computers with nvme and lots of resources to use you got so much headroom it doesn't matter if you run windows with all it's bloat plus an av

My laptop is 13 years old, SSD and 8GB RAM its all i need. I dont game, too old and a waste of time and money.
LTSC is perfect to me, got 2 official licenses for it.

Is LTSC really that much lighter?

Is LTSC really that much lighter?

Well windows itself isn't as heavy as you think but when you add many services that work in the background an software like defender , av that uses IO then it can get pretty slow
But if you have an actual low end machine best to run Linux with only a window manager like icewm or more simpler lighter ones
But on modren machine having defender (or other av software ) and windows (with all services running in the background ) shouldn't feel slow at all
About ltsc being lighter then windows well kinda and it only impacts actual low end systems meanwhile disabling stuff in windows will have the same effect so you don't need some special license

Plus LTSC can be installed on tpm1.2 systems

 

[Vitali Ortzi]

Plus LTSC can be installed on tpm1.2 systems

Well you can modify a reg , delete a dll and many other methods to bypass tpm without a special licensing of ltsc
Only actual positive ltsc has that it's the Microsoft approved way of making usable windows for low end systems and that it has more promised security updates (other PCs will have to upgrade to windows 12 to still get security updates once this mess comes back with a new version)

Basically a better ltsc is Linux as it has longer support then any ltsc license of windows and it doesn't have to promise updates you or forcing you to pay for licensing

And since Linux is just a kernel it can be lighter then ltsc unless you choose a heavy distribution that includes the Linux kernel
