Best Windows 10 Version For Gaming?

[qivopeb]

Hi.

I am a new member in this forum.
When I search through the frourm, I found a lot of windows 10 (x64) versions, RS1, RS2, RS3, TH2, etc.

Can you please let me know which one is the best version for gaming?

Enterprise LTSB 2016 (v1607).

Win10 Enterprise LTSB is really good small and has no windows store stuff installed, but other then that windows 10 pro creators update is a good fall back to use.

I did not want to start a new thread asking a very similar question so I am hoping it is acceptable to tag onto this one. I am looking for the best possible performing gaming OS. I have read through the forums and will probably settle on Win 10 Enterprise LTSB or gaming edition. My main concern is taking as much load off my CPU and network as possible. I am running a dual PC NDI streaming setup. Things like Microsoft protection services currently eat up a ton of my CPU and cause significant FPS drops. This system will be used only for gaming, streaming (OBS) and Adobe CC. What is the most stable updated light weight OS I can run currently?

Both of my systems have very similar specs and will get the same OS

i7 4790k (4.8)
Asus Maximus Hero VII
1080 TI
32gb Ram
SSD

I am perfectly ok with doing my own benchmarking ect but any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In my experience, you need to disable all protection and update services you want manually. With Group Policies (gpedit.msc), register (regedit), google help and time you can do what you want. The difficult thing is to undestand the correct services you could disable without affect your OS stability. And you have to consider that disable updates, tracking and protections ( + what is not necessary for you) means that downloading from microsoft site becames difficult (for example download net.Framework and all you need before changing anything).
You can't find OS with minimum services as you want because the most of people don't need an OS without the possibility of converse with microsoft site. Win10 LTSB could be good (no Cortana, Apps and AppStore) and other Lite versions (in my experience from Animeware or WhiteDeath) are good too. Anyway you need to change something according to your needs. If you start installing a lite version with Apps and AppStore, search on Google how to unistall them with CMD or PowerShell.

Well I installed Windows 10 lite v3 and I'm so glad I did. Its already on both of my systems. The difference is way better than I expected. I can pull 144fps pretty consistently now in PUBG while streaming. Should have done this a long time ago.
