Is it really neccessary to ditch Windows 10 ?.

Sure, there have been a few rock stars who've managed to age with a bit of dignity. With Roger Daltrey and Mick Jagger, you still don't get the feeling it's quite time for them to be kicking back on the porch in their twilight years. Chuck Berry, on the other hand, was apparently still doing the duckwalk right before he died, and Ian Anderson, whose voice is even more shot than Bob Dylan's was in his prime, would probably be better off just sticking to the flute. But then again, I've been told there's no accounting for taste (or dignity).

Hey, dude, do not 'dis da 'tull. I didn't spend a year trying desperately to find the high 3rd-octave on a flute for nothing (it's more difficult than you'd think). Back when I was 15, myself and a bass-playing friend were rather proud of getting the first section of Bourée to sound presentable. I never got the hang of the furious spitting stuff though - something to do with the flicking embouchure of the tongue and experienced girlfriends I was yet to have at that age.

Anderson did actually retire - became a salmon farmer (the large outdoor breeding pens up in the North Sea) in Scotland, and is rather successful at it. That he still kicks around reliving the glory days or just doing promotional nonsense for the fans is more of a graceful decline than a Grace Slick approach:

By the late 1980s, Slick realized something important: rock and roll belonged to the young. “It’s embarrassing to be a 45-year-old woman prancing around in tight clothes,” she famously remarked. Rather than becoming a caricature of her former self, she reinvented herself as a visual artist.

At least one or two have seen the light.

The late 80s were around the time when Grace Slick famously sang about aeroplanes while being too sober. I don’t think her clothes were the embarrassment in that video.

Some of these old musicians that insist on prancing around the stage are just too cringey to watch, Jagger prancing around topless, ugghhh, At least Richards has a excuse allegedly he snorts anything even cockroaches. Most if not all of the female stars don't age well the wall is unkind to them, Marianne Fatihfull's voice went nicely gravely and "why d'ya you do it" is in character. watch?v=zVg2sL707gI

I stumbled across a utube explaining how to upgrade Win10 to IOT LTSC, (support 2032), the video showed the install working and games played, I'll give it a try sometime.

Download Win10 IoT LTSC version to USB.

Regedit > Hkeylocalmachine > Windows > Version: Change data value from Professional to; IoTEnterpriseS (< exactly)

Disconnect from the internet.

USB IoT LTSC click setup (keep files and apps).

Activate with Win 10 key.
