I miss oldskool Notepad being present on the system. Win11 Notepad is a worthless piece of shit.
But ... any computer or vm that I use for more than a few hours gets a copy of Metapad.
I've been using Metapad for ... umm ... decades.
Metapad is a simple, extremely lightweight editor, intended to just barely be better than Notepad, fixes a lot of shit that MS never did and stays simple.

Hmm. This is what mine looks like.
I have a laptop still running Win10. I'll look into this. Thx.
Ah. Yes, it appears I've been using the ESU option. That was the simplest thing to do.
I use the registration utility from massgrave, added 3 years to my registration.

But right there on that page, they cover Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021.
It sounds like that's what I need. Stripped down Win10. I like that idea.
Thanks, friend.
