The difference between LTSB and LTSC are the Windows 10 builds they are based on and therefore the features that were included in these Windows 10 builds. Other than these two are exactly the same as any other normal Windows 10 version based on the same builds. The only exclusions being that LTSB/LTSC only receive security updates and no feature updates. The second exclusion being that LTSB/LTSC come without the Windows 10 app bloatware and without the Windows Store. That usually means a better running system due to less junk and less issues (because of no feature upgrade "Windows reinstallations").

Also

Mainstream support for 2016 LTSB ends somewhere in 2020 and then it gets extended support til 2025. Of course for 2019 the support ends much later + extended support also ending much later.

LTSB 2016 = Windows 10 Build 1607
LTSC 2019 = Windows 10 Build 1809

Which features are included in 1607 and 1809 is something I leave up to you to look up. The Internet is rich of information in this regard. Of course the build 1809 also includes all the features from previous builds.


I don't know how one can unknowingly download a very special Windows 10 version that is not even remotely available to the normal end user. And especially not when Windows 10 came out as LTSB was introduced several years later.


The evaluation center is what it says it is. The evaluation products are made for testing and therefore cannot be turned into a normal version. You need to get different ISOs that are either retail or volume license installations.
