+====== Version Notes ======
+===== LTSC 1809 =====
+  * 2026/04
+  * Has both ''curl.exe'' and ''tar.exe''
+  * Defrag command in Maintenance bat needs different flags than 21H2
+  * No known benefit over 21H2
-  * [[windows;10#enable_fips_mode]]
+===== LTSB 1607 =====
-  * Nothing reported = FIPS disabled
-  "powershell.exe" -Command "$md5 = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider'"
+  * 2026/04
-  This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
+  * No ''curl.exe'' nor ''tar.exe''
+  * Runs GTA V Online (BattlEye no problem 1607, GTA V DX10 fine 2018 GPU driver)
+  * Intel UHD 630 driver from 2018 (''.2141'' nor latest 6th-gen install/require newer Windows than 1607)
+  * OneDrive is integrated and doesn't uninstall as-easily like it's installed with Office
+  * No Edge (business ''msi'' installs fine and works with ''msedge_proxy'')
+  * Alps touchpad driver doesn't install (benefit)
