    LTS version is hardened and more secure by default. But that also makes it a pain in the ass.

    If you ever do get around to upgrading and don’t want the bloat, the N version is what you want. It’s the European version and doesn’t have any extras.

      Thanks for the tip. I haven’t ran into any issues so far, but I’ll keep that in mind.

      N Version is not ideal for Gaming, i tried it years ago and GTA 5 / Rockstar Launcher had issues with missing codec or something.

        Sure it is. You just have to manually install Windows Media Player and sometimes other proprietary codecs. I use Windows 11 N on my computer currently. I play games of at least 3 launchers that I can think of.

        Red Dead 2, GTA 4 & 5, I have played these games on my current system
