Can't buy it as an individual tho, afaik.

I recently spoke to a rep at a well-known Microsoft Partner; apparently it can be purchased for around $300, including 4 inexpensive CALs necessary to round out the order (5 licenses are required if you don't have an existing volume license agreement):

Explicit instructions for purchasing a Windows 10 LTSC license? https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-inst...

LTSB means no WSL, no Hyper-V, no support for VStudio neither for Windows SDKs (which refuse to install or don't install cleanly), so it's not for "developent" anyway.

"Have now upgraded to Window 10 LTSB build 1607 and Hyper V is fully working." https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1690823-windows-10-en...

"I just installed WSL on LTSC and it worked great." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18271829

Oh, common. Of course you can stuff it on top, but beware of the risks.

Please, see: * https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1281

A random Joe says it works <--> Supported and stable configuration.

But you are right HyperV seems to be working as of 1607.

WSL is also supported in LTSC and can be installed with these instructions from Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual
