During this, you will learn to create and configure your installation media in the form of an ISO, removing components, integrating language packs, confuring Windows Settings and more; Depending on your preferences and expertise, there's a chance you will have to do this once, \u003ci\u003eyeahhhhhhhhhh,\u003c/i\u003e possibly, but once you have created your installation media, you can go crazy with installing your proudly created final product to as many computers as you like for as long as your heart desires.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eMoving on to Part 2; Post Install. Having reached that point, you bound to have a live-system. This part is all about what to do on a fresh system, what scripts to run, how to configure your settings. There's even suggestion for what software to install.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003eWho is this for?\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eMy main goal is to make things as simple as possible, you don't have to be a computer wizard to follow a few simple commands and menu choices, give that, this is not a literal step by step guide, I trust you to read between the lines and do some basic things on your own. Good luck!\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003eWhy did you choose LTSC?\u003c/h1\u003e\n\n- Support for so-called \"Home\" Versions will stop at 2025. Compared to LTSC channel which is expected to stop at 2028. Given that, at this current state Windows 11 isn't nearly stable enough and more and more cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence components will make their way into my systems, I'll gladly take the delay.\n\n- Compared to most versions, LTSC is a barebones build that doesn't include nearly as much \"bloatware\" or \"features\" as commercial versions generally do, giving me the option to have a stable system with fewer and fewer components.\n\n- Windows isn't my main Operating System, most of my work is done either on Mac or Linux, the only reason to keep Windows around is literally some exclusive software, and configuring my hardware. \n\n- Given my previous point, my configuration must include the minimal amount of maintenance and lowest chance of things breaking on me. An Operating System that by default only takes security updates like LTSC just suits my needs better than another options.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 align=\"center\"\u003eSystem Requirements Checklist\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003eWindows Core Features\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n#### Windows Updates\n\n- [x] Windows Updates - Manual\n\n#### Microsoft Activation\n\n- [x] Windows Activation using [MAS](https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts)\n\n#### Keyboard Layouts\n\n- [x] Greek (Language Pack)\n\n#### Hardware \n\n- [x] Microphone \n- [ ] Camera\n- [ ] Streamdeck\n- [ ] Wi-Fi Support\n- [ ] Bluetooth\n\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003eApplication Support\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n#### Installers\n\n- [x] MSI Installers\n- [x] EXE Installers\n\n#### Package Managers\n\n- [x] Winget\n- [x] Scoop\n\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003ePrograms \u0026 Features\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n#### Applications\n\n- [x] Komorebi \n- [x] Autohotkey\n- [x] Flow Launcher\n\n\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003ePart 1 (Pre-Install)\u003c/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 align=\"center\"\u003ePrerequisites\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eThe first thing you will need to do, is to download an official ISO from Microsoft. Do that now by using this \u003ca href=\"https://www.microsoft.com/el-gr/software-download/windows10ISO\"\u003elink\u003c/a\u003e or this \u003ca href=\"https://drive.massgrave.dev/en-us_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso\"\u003elink\u003c/a\u003e, or if you prefer going and fetching one for yourself another way.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eSecondly, you will need \u003ca href=\"https://msmgtoolkit.in/\"\u003eMSMG Toolkit\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ntlite.com/\"\u003eNTLite\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eWhat the heck are those?! Let me explain, NTLite is a tool you will have to pay, to take full advantage of; There's a free version, never used it so I don't know what features, it's really missing...it provides the tooling for configuring parts of your Windows installation, things like removing components (apps), configuring your user settings and even unattended automatic installation, so that you won't have to do anything other than boot into it. Given that MSMG, probably can do the same exact things NTLite can minus the clickable interface, you can probably save yourself the money, but you won't find how-to guide on that here.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 align=\"center\"\u003eMSMG\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eMSMG Toolkit is a tool that helps with reducing Windows footprint by removing unwanted components of your choice and simplify your installation time and free up drive space. Apart from that, it has other capabillities like integrating drivers, customizing windows, but since I use NTLite for most of that by taking advantage of Presets, you won't find these here.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 align=\"center\"\u003eLoading the ISO\u003c/h4\u003e\n\n- Open the ISO you downloaded from Windows and place the files into the DVD folder.\n- Execute the Start toolkit by using Administrator rights.\n- Select Source then type 1 for 'Select Source from \u003cDVD\u003e folder.\n- Choose the version of Windows you like.

As you can guess, this causes a few minor problems...First and foremost, pressing the Windows key, will cause an error that will force Windows into a user-sign out action. Switching keyboard layouts does the same thing, since it registers the Windows key, maybe, this is just a guess; Anyway, you can fix that by heading over \u003ca href=\"https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/disable_windows_key.html\"\u003ehere\u003c/a\u003e and fetching a registry file which disables the Windows key.\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eAdditionally, you can solve this issue by taking this registry file and inserting it using NTLite or MSMG into your ISO, therefore when you install the Operating System, it will be there, by default.\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"justify\"\u003eBut what about an alternative search?! Well, there's lots out there. Take your pick.
