Windows 10 Ltsb Download
We have deployed windows 10 LTSB 2015, which is version 1511. We have tested the install of Windows 10 LTSB 2016, version 1607, and like it slightly better. Since 2016 is essentially 2015 with the anniversary update, can you update 2016 v.1511 to 2016 v.1607 via WSuS. Windows 10 LTSB becomes Windows 10 LTSC by Martin Brinkmann on July 28, 2017 in Windows - Last Update: May 22, 2018 - 32 comments Microsoft announced back in April of 2017 that it would release two feature updates of its Windows 10 operating system per year; one in March and the other in September of each year.
I recently got a new machine at work and decided to install Windows 10 Enterprise 'LTSB'. Mostly I like its similarity to Windows 7 and its stability. However, very few organizations even know that LTSB exists. One of the consequences of that is that many web sites are threatening to drop support for Internet Explorer. Some of them even think that because I'm on Windows 10, I must have Edge already installed (see https://github.com). Not true with LTSB. Not only that, I cannot install it through normal means. I use Edge at home, and while it has its flaws, it's the default browser for many, many of our customers, so I'd like to be able to run it, if only just for testing purposes. When I go to the Microsoft Edge homepage and click Try Now, after giving permission to open an app, I get the following error:
The pop-up window has an OK button, which is greyed out and doesn't respond. I see no way to get past this and actually install Edge.
Is there any way to install Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB?

From a ZDNet article:
...the reason Microsoft won't provide Edge to Enterprise users on LTSB is because the company expects to roll out new features and feature updates to Edge on a regular basis... That means it would be kind of pointless to include the evolving Edge browser if it's not going to be updated.
This is further confirmed by recent Google Searches, where responses from MS staff are that the following will not be included in LTSB:
Microsoft Edge, Windows Store client, Cortana (limited search capabilities remain available), Microsoft Mail, Calendar, OneNote, Weather, News, Sports, Money, Photos, Camera, Music, and Clock. Therefore, it’s important to remember that Microsoft has positioned the LTSB model primarily for specialized devices.
LTSB is intended for special scenarios and not for the average desktop, even in a tightly-controlled corporate environment. LTSB is designed for use in Kiosks and other very-special-use systems. The 'Long Term' in it's name made lots of big-organization IT groups happy as they thought they'd get some long-term consistency from an OS they could run on their user's computers, but that's not what MS intended this system for.
Microsoft dropped the standard Edge for Edge for Chromium. It's still in insiders testing, but it's available on LTSB, it would be available for older OS but later.

A proof, on my personnal laptop (LTSB 2016), now with Edge
Microsoft Edge will now be delivered and updated for all supported versions of Windows and on a more frequent cadence. We also expect this work to enable us to bring Microsoft Edge to other platforms like macOS
