Has anyone used this modded windows OS?
I’ve seen quite a few videos on youtube of it performing waaay better than normal windows & using less resources than even tiny10/11 windows.
I’ve seen quite a few people say they’ve used it for years with no issues or accounts stolen, but then I’ve also seen a few people claim that their version had malware on it- however I’ve also found that apparently there’s fake sites with malware infested versions of it floating around & apparently there’s versions of it on piracy sites that come pre-loaded with a bunch of pirated games, so perhaps those are where those malware reports are coming from.
I wouldn’t touch it.
I’ve used it on my netbook to squeeze out some extra fps. Alot of stuff is disabled/cut so may not be for everyone but in certain scenarios it can bring life back to an old machine. No malware or anything I’ve used it for a year or so. I can see how people would be warry, seems like alot of slavjank but it’s legit.
Just use LTSC 2019 or 2021, it’s more or less the same thing.
Definitely not the same thing, Ghost Spectre is a massively cut down & optimized version of windows, while LTSC is just a slightly debloated & near no updates version of windows.
For example, Windows takes about 42GB to install- while LTSC takes 40GB, and Ghost Spectre- 9GB. Ghost Spectre also comes with a toolbox that gives massive user control over customizing their OS.

You call no apps at all slightly debloated? Lol, that’s what takes over 70% of the space in Win10/11. What else would you like to remove, everything else is actually needed and/or could be needed.
And it receives only security updates. Same as Win7, LTSC editions are frozen in time when they were released. They get no feature updates, just security updates.
For example, Windows takes about 42GB to install- while LTSC takes 40GB, and Ghost Spectre- 9GB.
What :O… a 40GB LTSC install??? What in the hell did you do to that LTSC install man, lol :D.
The screenshot above is from a fresh LSTC 2019 install. It’s almost 14GB in size. Noting installed, just the OS. Plus, you can cut down even on that, cuz it probably has like 2, 3GB or so in updates, so realistically, just the bare bones install is about 11-12GB.
Spectre also comes with a toolbox that gives massive user control over customizing their OS.
We have reg entries/batch scripts for that. Why in the hell would I want to run something that is sketchy at best and I really have no idea what it actually does. It’s enough that MS already does that with Windows, now I have to also risk installing/modding something that I have no idea what it will install or modify. What if it’s crypto miner/malware? What if it’s a keylogger?
No thanks, I use my own scripts and I know exactly what they do.
Do you know where can I find a download for LSTC 2021? Do you know if it’s available to purchase a key through the windows store or something like that? I did some googling but all I found was possible ways of getting volume keys for enterprise usage… Which I mean is kind of what it’s for, but I would like to try it for myself.
Huh, I suppose the video review I watched on youtube was wrong about the size of it then…
I tried finding this out on my own but couldn’t find a single video or screenshot showing how much ram & cpu usage LTSC used while idle, could you let me know?
Afaik Ghost spectre uses 1.1 GB/8GB & cpu utilization @ 0~1% on a ryz 9 5980hs
If Ghost spectre was running malware, especially a crypto miner there’s no way the pc would run at low resource intensities- a keylogger is the only thing that could possibly slip under since it requires little to no resources to run.
Used it for a while. I quite liked it, but ultimately I switched to an LTSC build because there was an issue with configuring my printer’s driver that I couldn’t resolve. The tweaks likely got rid of a dependency that the driver used
