Microsoft Announced Windows 11 LTSE Version Some Days Before and It's Finally Launched! Windows 11 LTSE or Lite version supports a 1Ghz Processor that may only Have about 4GB of RAM and 2 Core! Yes, You Can Even Run Windows 11 on Such a System Easily With a New Method. Comes with the Latest Microsoft Version Released and is Capable of Everything That Normal Windows 11 Can do but is it Really that Much Good Let's Find out!

There is NO Windows 11 LTSE Version.
There's Windows 11 LTSC and Windows 11 IoT LTSC.
Secondly, Windows 11 won't officially run on older devices that lack Secure Boot and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0. This eliminates MANY systems.
By releasing such a version, Microsoft would be going back on Minimum System Requirements for Windows 11.

IoT version is basically regular version of a specific edition (there are windows enterprise IoT versions too) but with some differences as it is meant to run on IoT devices (like ATMs, PoS machines on supermarket counters etc) which rarely updates & have same hardware supposed to run for years (aka no ram/hdd/ssd upgrade etc). Windows LTSC & IoT LTSC versions are practically same with minor differences but IoT version has some relaxed hardware requirements like secure boot & TPM optional not mandatory & which are typically not found on older systems so IoT version of win 11 LTSC is preferable for older systems. Keep in mind that evaluation versions has 90 days validity from the time of install & cannot be activated beyond that (if someone claim it is possible then they are lying).
 
I have installed the 11 LTSC in 4 different systems, all good. Don't know about the lite varient but the iot is what it is currently.

Every single thing works as usual since it is just windows 11. The only difference is that there is literally nothing pre-installed. No co-pilot, not a single app, not even windows store (you can install windows store back with a single powershell command if you need it).
 
there's nothing official about it and while it installs perfectly on my 7700HQ laptop, updating drivers through windows update leads to BSOD and then everything crashes. i can then only boot to recovery and have to reinstall windows (or go back to 10)
the audio driver seems to be the issue as headphone jack does not work

Laptops are intel igpu and amd igpu , both desktop pc on ryzen am5 ddr5 , 1 with nvidia GPU 1 with and gpu and the rest is as usual.. specs shouldn't matter? But if you really only want to game, you might run into occasional library install from time to time as the game requires

Main purpose office use only , occasionally light gaming. Is Excel, Docs and other office apps working without any glitch?
