VS4000 - W10 build way, waaaaaaaay outdated. Need to update it but cannot.

[dhodlick]

The OEM version of Windows 10 on our VS4000 dates to 2015/2016. I cannot get security updates for it any more due to it having been eclipsed by newer OEM builds from Microsoft. These particular versions of Windows are not upgradable through normal means. They require a Windows volume license and actual media to run. Is there an option to purchase a newer version of the base software?

The version of Windows 10 on these products is the Long Term Service Branch (LTSB) version and has a 10 years of support from Microsoft.

Windows 10 2016 LTSB will get updates until 10/13/2026

Thanks Kane. Now if I could only get the machine to update.... It always hangs and never seems to work. I'll dig in further, but I am glad to hear that this LTSB will be serviced for some time to come
