Hi forumers,
what is best for music daws and plugins :
W10/11 ? Family/pro ?
Thank you

 

I don't know about Windows 11, I use Win10. But definitely the Pro version. Or the Enterprise LTSC.

Quite a few people including me also use a unofficial "lite" version of Win10/11. With bloatware, spyware removed among other things

 

Thanks Xupito, can you tell me the name of the lite version please ?
I found that there are many versions which one is best for music and everything ? :
Windows X-Lite, Ghost Spectre, AtlasOS, Nexus LiteOS, ReviOS, Tiny10...

Sure thing. The best "lite" versions are:
- GhostSpectre Lite
- X-lite

Both have several Win10/Win11 versions. We can't post/ask for explicit links because technically they aren't legit. But with a google search you can find them easily.

There're several topics here about these lite versions. Right now I don't have time to search them. I'm sure other users will join soon.

 

What do you think about windowsxlite.com Optimum10Prov5_1 ?
I'm searching for french language...

 

Great selection - have fun with it!

hi Articstorm, Windows 10 debloater software is ok ?

 

regular Windows 11 Pro (23H2) works fine, even on officially incompatible PCs like mine,
don't bother with non-standard or third-party debloated flavours, not worth it unless you have a potato spec PC

 

There're many Lite versios, but GhostSpectre and X-Lite are the most popular and tested, which is especially important for safety and stability reasons.

That's actually the one I'm using since like a year ago. Perhaps the 5.0. Works like a charm.
