2024 PC build!

We use a "decrapifier" in audit mode when we build Windows images for the schools. It's pretty effective at stripping out all the garbage MS has force-fed over the last decade. Along with a couple other tweaks, it makes the OS's quite usable. EDU lets us play with the release schedule so we're not forced to upgrade to the big feature updates right away, and they have a longer support schedule too.
 
If I sent you a copy of 10, could you build an image that wouldn't keep "fixing" itself? or does it take a special version not available to the public? I've bought some interesting versions off ebay,lol. Server 2012,etc. If I could ditch edge and fix the scheduler permanently, I'd be ok.
 
I was looking at steam os, it looks like a way to play steam games; I have a virgin pc I built a few years ago, a cheap chinese mobo,x79 chipset with socket 2011, that I have several processors for. Currently has a xeon e5 1680 multiplier unlocked 8/16 core with hyperthreading, that I've ran at 4.5 ghz in my main system. I need to put a cooler on it, and add memory,but it has a 2tb nvme drive, so it should rock!
 
Once it's stripped after installation with the decrapifier, you could disable the Windows Update service. The versions of Win10 that have longer term support are different editions; you need the right ISO from MVLSC and proper key.

We aren't deploying new installs of 10 anyway. Most of our clients are using ChromeOS which is easier to manage and support, except where Windows is required for the programs required by the staff. Server 2025 is out! :)
 
I built a os2 warp install for this ibm server, I need to go thru a box of scsi drives, and see which ones still work. most I've dinked with work fine after a low-level format. os2 is available on archive.org.
