Stick to officially supported windows versions for important/office work. Win 10 LTSC works just as fine & depending on hardware may even work better than windows 11 LTSC.

LTSC is an official Windows version which is stripped off a lot of official junk and requires far less frequent updates

LITE versions are unofficial and made by stripping components from Windows setup or disabling a custom set of features and apps and comes with tweaks. Totally unofficial and potentially unsafe. Not comparable in anyway to LTSC.

This is what i am using on a Dell Optiplex 9020 with 16 GB Ram which works great, installed on a Evo Plus 970 250 GB nvme drive with PCI card and taking only 42 GB space.
I modified the bios to inject drivers for NVME PCI card can be recognized and booted from.

I don't think and will not recommend folks to upgrade their pc's just to install Windows 11 . The new interface is different and takes some time to get used too.
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
Installed on ‎26-‎09-‎2024
OS build 22631.4169
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1034.0

Also i am using Monterey Mac OS on another 60 GB intel Drive which is also working great.

Have used it for multiple days and its running great, no bugs and no crashed, recieved few updates too that were installed automatically.

Yes, you can used the modded or lite version on old hardware and it works well if you have a decent processors and ram. i am currently running on a Intel 4770 cpu and pretty happy with it.

A word of caution to others here, unless one has fairly good amount of experience using such scripts it is better to stick to one or two default/minor tweaks. I have seen many weird issues related to such "optimizations/debloating" which though have a small chance of occurring for typical usage but when they do occur they take at least a few days of troubleshooting while spending hours each day.

Installed it on my near-decade old Dell Venue 11 Pro with 5Y10 and 4 GB RAM that has been running 20x7 for the past 4 years as a home dashboard and server. Perhaps, it is the fresh installation, but it certainly isn't struggling with regular tasks. My previous forced installation of Windows 11 Home over a year ago significantly impacted the performance, so it is good to now simply keep this running until the tablet dies.

The Chris Titus Tech one simply broke some functionality when I had tried it quite some time ago. You don't come to know of it until you need that one thing that doesn't work and you realise the only reason it is not working as it should is because of something that was removed at the time of installation.

Simply prefer a normal installation with an offline account and all Microsoft fluff disabled. Really don't find removing stuff which "you think" is not essential really productive over the long term. Also, the manufacturer recovery image can be problematic as I found out when my laptop GPU TDP kept getting locked at the lower TDP randomly. Fresh installation with only the drivers needed to no longer have "Other Devices" listed in the Device manager along with the supplementary Windows updates has always worked best for me.
