Can the rights be only downloaded to Win 7 Ent or can also be downgraded to Win 7 Pro? What are the right steps of process? Would this process work? If they come pre-installed why go down to a older OS version? Multiverse Enterprises is an IT service provider. Agree – WHY downgrade? It may not be possible to downgrade – If these are newer systems with 7th generation or later i-series intel CPUs, Windows 7 isn’t supported on them. Further, I would question what you’re saying about the systems coming with Win 10 Enterprise Enterprise is typically Volume License only and Volume Licenses typically aren’t resold.

Brand Representative for Microsoft. Not sure how you got Windows 10 Enterprise “preinstalled” This would also require a VL agreement to be licensed for Windows 10 Enterprise. As dbeato mentioned, your media and key will come from VLSC to download the media and reinstall Windows. Garland Tech, Inc. It’s also the only version that I’ve heard actually pays attention to the GPO’s you set. Windows 10 as a service is complete crap, and in a large node school network, is a nightmare.

It’s broken constantly because of “features”, and won’t pay attention to GPO’s some it will, some it won’t like updates.

I’m looking to either roll out LTSB or replace every computer with a chromebook. I’m so fed up with Microsoft that I can hardly speak about it anymore without going into convulsions. I have clients that run Windows 7 and we’ll never change. A 24×7 manufacturing plant that also produces power for themself and selling back to the grid. There is no sense to some of the “updates” as they do not benefit me, my clients, or their business processes at all.

And I can’t choose, so whoops the power went out, and all machines stopped because the power house is upgrading to “New feature set where we added another icon to your systray, and removed the ability to print”. Sure the power will be out for over an hour, but I bet that machine operator can’t wait to get his hands on the latest games and the Windows store!!!!!!!! If your desire is to have Windows 7 – you’d need to purchase it and install it, and hope there are drivers for the hardware.

What kind of policies did you use? Did you configure active hours? Candy Crush doesn’t install on Enterprise Edition by default. Or maybe you perform a risk assessment on those Win7 PC that are in a segmented network and decide its perfectly fine to leave those devices on Win7. If your updating PCs in the middle of the day why people are using them, you’re doing something wrong. The statement the Feature Updates contain no benefits is silly. Keeping ahead of the bad guys from a cybersecurity perspective is a big one.

Not really sure what this question is. I haven’t tried LTSB, and was only suggesting that the OP might want to consider using it as I’ve heard some benefits that would be on-par with using Windows I’ve just learned about this policy.

My understanding is that this only exists in Education and Enterprise builds. I understand that updating pc’s outside of any maintenance windows is ridiculous, but with Pro, there isn’t an easy way to control that. After an hour, and multiple reboots, and rolling back some updates, I gave up. That means that when the students go into that lab in the AM, some not all of the computers will begin to do updates.

Since updates could take over an hour, the first class of the day that tries to use that computer will be unable to. I have a tech onsite who I tasked with restarting all of the computers in that lab, and we’re pushing up agenda to “fix” or be able to control the update process. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I can’t easily control the update schedule using GPO with a “pro” operating system.

We don’t use Cortana at any of my clients sites, we don’t use maps microsoft , we don’t use “Mail”, or “Calendar”, or the MS Store How is “keeping ahead of the bad guys” a “feature”? Why isn’t it a security update that takes care of the “security”? I don’t have anyone using “Ink”, or Defender,. I really like the way Windows 7 presents the wireless networks in a way that you can easily re-order them withouth powershell or netsh commands.

I miss the ease of access to system functions which my end users could care less about, but means I have to take extra time to find the info and get to the data I need for troubleshooting. My clients, and myself do not play games on our computers, so having access to games I could have easily accessed from any number of websites, is not useful or a “feature” that we’d choose to add in.

I’m glad you enjoy them and use them. The article says that the “S Mode” will be included in the next update, and all future editions of Windows and that if you DON’T want it, then you can do a “one time” switch to non-S Mode.

So take that however you want to. I’m glad that you NathM are having a great time with your Windows 10 installations. I am NOT. I have done okay with my personal ones, in that I’ve tweaked this, or that to make it workable, and not update me every week, but for a pc deployment, things are not so rosey.

Back in the day Pro meants Professional, and was used in businesses. Enterprise was released at some point, but I never saw that draw as Pro had everything. Now it appears as if we have to license at least Enterprise on all computers to get “similar” feature sets, and controlability as with previous versions of Windows.

I don’t believe they use their own products in-house at least not the versions of their software I’m running , nor do I believe they think they are doing a bad thing. I think they believe internally that end users really want to have games, and Xbox etc on their computers, and keep shoving it down our throats. Now I have to convince my clients that they all need Enterprise license in addition to the cost of the computer, or just pay me the extra time to dick with registry entries to fix issues, and turn off features Oh well To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.

Windows Updates are controllable, fully controllable. Or maybe you perform a risk assessment on those Win7 PC that are in a segmented network and decide its perfectly fine to leave those devices on Win7 There is no sense to some of the “updates” as they do not benefit me, my clients, or their business processes at all.

If your updating PCs in the middle of the day why people are using them, you’re doing something wrong The statement the Feature Updates contain no benefits is silly. Microsoft never announced S Mode is the default in the next update. NathM – responding to just the bold parts: what else did you hear but haven’t tried it in this list? I have proven that with GPO’s regarding updating – the settings are ignored. I’ll go through the document but I set the setting from a Windows 10 computer in a GPO, and although all the pre Windows 10 Pro computers were effected, the 10 Pro machines were not.

I’ve read, but have not tried, that using WSUS, and choosing to defer the feature updates is also ignored, and that MS knows about it, although hasn’t fixed it. In searching for a reasonable way to manage Windows 10, I’ve come across dozens of posts that discuss it, so although it may have worked in your environment, it didn’t with GPO in mine, and with WSUS for many others. Microsoft never announced S Mode is the default in the next update The article says that the “S Mode” will be included in the next update, and all future editions of Windows and that if you DON’T want it, then you can do a “one time” switch to non-S Mode.

Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included.

Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2—3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a year life cycle.

Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period. The LTSC edition of Windows 10 provides customers with access to a deployment option for their special-purpose devices and environments. These devices are also typically not heavily dependent on support from external apps and tools. Since the feature set for LTSC does not change for the lifetime of the release, over time there might be some external tools that do not continue to provide legacy support.

For detailed information about Windows 10 servicing, see Overview of Windows as a service. Windows 10 – Release information : Windows 10 current versions by servicing option.
