MicrosoftThere are a lot of different industries represented here, kind of neat.
Here's an idea for Win11 (too late for Win10). You have roles and features for server, so this is a known method of expanding an OS... How about use this method to produce Windows 11. Start with LTSC as the base of Pro/Enterprise/Education, then allow simple clicks to add the other features to "scale up" to Pro. You would of course need to pay for a Pro/Enterprise/Education license, but it would give more flexibility to both parties. Sure would save a lot of time making GPO's to remove games, and do plenty of other things to try and tame all the consumer oriented things that we just don't want in most of a business environment. I would consider this for consumer oriented computers as well, not everyone plays games on a "gaming" machine.
And yes I'm that jerk that removes/blocks solitaire, I'm guessing I'm not the only one in this crowd.
I will tell you that the worst thing that can happen is you forget to postpone feature updates for a classroom full of computers, and then they update over night. You come in the next day and the key piece of software that they are trying to use in class now no longer functions. That's what pushed me to LTSC in the first place.
You can keep Home the way it is, kind of the "canary in the coal mine", oddly it seems to run just fine on my laptop at home. I must be the only one that finds it acceptable. No de-bloat scripts either, but that will probably change. Going to be stuck on this because I don't think 11 is allowed to run on my hardware. But that's another topic.
