1. Take everything we loved about Windows 7, add the under-the-hood improvements of Windows 8 and 10 but none of the marketing/cloud/phone app/user-tracking crap, and what do you get? Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB edition.
2.  
3. * No pre-installed nonremovable junk "apps" (Like Paint 3D, Xbox, Mixed Reality Portal,...) that waste storage space & resources by running in the background, no Edge, no Store, no Cortana. Only OneDrive is installed but it can be easily removed.
4. * Default built-in tools like calculator are the same that were in Windows 7.
5. * More control over updates and upgrades; Windows Update is security and hotfixes only - no lame marketing-features being force installed.
6. * No upselling. No "suggested apps", no "Get Skype" button on the start menu that can't be removed, no notification spam to "Try Office 365".
7. * Local account by default
8. * The "telemetry" spying garbage can be completely disabled because LTSB is based on Windows 10 Enterprise.
9.  
10. All drivers & programs that are compatible with other editions of Windows 10 should be compatible with Enterprise LTSB 2016.

14. Now that you know how awesome it is, let's get started on installing it:
15.  
16. You have to do a clean install. You can't upgrade from other editions of Windows to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB.
17.  
18. * Step 1: Get the original .iso of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 from one of the links below.

43.  
44.  
45. * Step 2: Use Rufus to install the .iso to an empty USB drive
46.  
47. * Step 3: Boot to the USB
48.  
49. * Step 4: During the installation do not use Express Settings. Click "[Customize Settings](https://fix10.isleaked.com/assets/img/1.png)", and make sure everything is turned off.
50.  
51. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
52.  
53. Now let's activate it:
54.  
55.  
56. * Step 1: Get the latest version of Microsoft Toolkit from a trusted source like MyDigitalLife
57.  
58. * Step 2: Open Microsoft Toolkit, choose Windows Toolkit and then use the EZ-ACTIVATOR
59.  
60. * Step 3: Add C:\Windows\AutoKMS to your antivirus exclusions. (in case your antivirus deletes the activator)
61.  
62. It should be activated now :)
63.  
64. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
65.  
66. After activating:
67.  
68. * Step 1: Install and use [Disable Windows 10 Tracking](https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases) to disable the telemetry. You can also use it to remove OneDrive.
69. If it fails to remove OneDrive then update Windows 10 with windows updates and uninstall OneDrive from "Programs and Features" (Microsoft released an update that let's you remove OneDrive directly from "Programs and Features").
70.  
71. * Step 2: If you don't want to open all your images with Paint [use this](http://nomacs.org/) or bring back the old photoviewer with [this guide](http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-windows-photo-viewer-in-windows-10/)
