Removing metro apps is fine, but why the hell they removed WordPad? its just a great alternative to MS Word, light, simple, free.

7Zip integration is already in 23H2.
And BitLocker is too, enabled for C drive in 23H2.

according to wiki its more of a downgrade from 23h2, , IoT Enterprise editions (LTSC and non-LTSC) have officially eliminated a TPM and UEFI requirement, and dropped the minimum DirectX version down to 10 (version 12 was previously required on 23H2).[5][7]
The new IoT Enterprise LTSC edition drops the minimum required RAM down to 2 GB, and storage space down to 16 GB.[5][7]

I have a laptop with specs like this:

• AMD Athlon Silver 3050u 2.30GHz
• 8GB RAM 2400MHz (Dual Channel)
• Radeon Graphics / Integrated
• 2GB VRAM

My laptop uses Windows 10, but I don't know what Windows 10 version I use, is 22H2 or what, I don't know? My laptop can be updated to Windows 11, so is it better for me to update to Windows 11 24H2 later or not (stay in Windows 10)? I would like to ask for your advice guys, because my laptop's specs are not high specs and are not very good.

Took me 3 month to learn how to debloat and remove microsoft telemetry disable forceed updates, remove unwanted packages like hyperv from 11 22h2. 24h2 is even worse with all the spying, ads and lack of ability to remove packages such as aix aka recall. Microsoft didnt make much positive changes in 24h2 vs 22h2 to make users happier but they made sure packages they ship with 24h2 are well protected from user being able to remove them. im switching to linux Mint after 11 22h2.

Mixed reality is meant to be unsupported as well with the new windows

[davidmorrison]

no change at all really, I Can't See the Difference Can You See the Difference? lol, just had to turn off auto encryption and copilot only pain i notices after installing the release preview of 24h2. if Home it turns on device encryption and pro turns on bitlocker, , only diff is home version can only encrypt the C drive, , pro can encrypt all drives even external.
