Step-by-Step Installation and Review of Windows 11 24H2 LTSC Enterprise Edition

Windows 11 has released several updates over the past three years, and the most anticipated is the upcoming Windows 11 LTSC (Long‑Term Servicing Channel) edition, often referred to as the official streamlined version.

The LTSC build removes most pre‑installed UWP apps, unnecessary services, and components, resulting in a much smaller footprint.

Unlike regular releases, LTSC offers longer support periods and fewer mandatory updates, making it one of the most stable and well‑received Windows versions.

For users still on Windows 10 LTSC or regular Windows 11, the new LTSC version is highly attractive.

The latest Windows 11 24H2 LTSC image has been leaked and is available for download.

The image size is only 4.19 GB , significantly smaller than the official Windows 11 23H2 image (6.67 GB).

Installation can be performed via three main methods: USB‑PE boot, dual‑boot setup, or virtual machine deployment. Detailed guides for each method are provided.

During installation, select English for the language, then choose Simplified Chinese (China) for regional settings; the Chinese language pack can be added later.

Proceed through the installer, accept the license, choose “I don’t have a product key”, and select the Enterprise LTSC SKU.

After installation, the system boots without requiring a Microsoft account; a local account can be created.

Default settings include Microsoft Pinyin input, no mandatory network login, and optional privacy settings that can be turned off.

System properties show the version as Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 24H2, build 26100.1.

Disk usage: the C: drive occupies 14.6 GB, of which 8.05 GB is reserved space, 1.39 GB is virtual memory, and the actual system files are only 3.4 GB.

Compared to the official Windows 11 23H2 (16.8 GB), this LTSC build is dramatically slimmer.

To add Chinese language support, navigate to Settings → Time & Language → Language & Region, add “Chinese (Simplified, China)”, set it as the display language, download, and then change the system locale.

After a reboot, the interface appears fully localized, and any missing input method can be installed via the prompt.

Overall, the Windows 11 24H2 LTSC version is extremely lightweight (system files only 3.4 GB, no ads), supports online updates, and retains Intel CPU hybrid‑core optimizations, making it ideal for newer hardware.

The author tested the build on a real machine (using a VM for screenshots) and reports smooth performance, successful software installations, and no noticeable bugs, deeming it suitable as a daily primary OS.
