So will the LTSC version support that tool I wonder. DigiD has a Windows 10 app which has to be used with card reader to verify identification and since the Windows 10 Pro machine I propose to buy doesn’t support that utility, I’ll have to use a third party external card reader instead. Other concerns for me at least since I live in the Netherlands are the options to sign into a goverment site called DigiD through which all Dutch Goverment business with the general public is conducted. As I understand it, Microsoft has extended support for W10 Pro to October 2025.

Later versions only qualify for five years support which is only about three months more than Windows 10 Pro support. Or at least that version isn’t available on the download site at So perhaps Windows Privacy Dashboard might be a good alternative.Īs regards Windows 10 LTSC I don’t think it’s possible to download the 2019 version which has 10 years of support anymore. Here’s a screenshot taken from the video which illustrates those particular settings. I noticed however from viewing the video on their site that certain settings can’t be disabled such as the ability to disable launch of MS Edge in the background. I can buy a laptop with Windows 10 Pro which at least has the option to configure the OS to a certain degree, but was looking at O&OShutup10 as a means of maintaining privacy.

I’m going to have to buy a Windows 10 machine at the end of this year because my current OS is Windows 8.1 and support for that ends in January next year.
