Yes for LTSC versions. Except… Unless you have a “Business” license (very expensive and sold in volume only to businesses), you are not legal.
What saddens me the most is Microsoft's desire to want to control absolutely everything (like Apple) and that really pushes things too far like, for example, having 2 anti-viruses installed in your PC because Defender remains active despite the presence of a third-party AV but also double “user” services (you know: those that end with _xxxxx) and which are supposed to protect each other. But there are also a myriad of other unnecessary services and background tasks that can be deactivated.
On my PCs and by default and without optimizations, Windows 11 has 178 services and background tasks open… where Windows 7 had 42… I'll let you think about the overweight, the CPU load, the RAM occupied and the system interruptions caused . For my part, I went back down to 54 open in the background without causing any problems.
In the end, the Microsoft OS is no longer a simple OS but it has become nonsense… I'm really thinking of switching to Linux.
