Hi, We have Microsoft windows 10 LTSB in our company. I could not find any Standalone Microsoft Edge for LTSB version. Do we have any standalone MS Edge for LTSC, if we upgrade our windows to LTSC. Here, Windows 10 LTSC makes it possible to ensure legacy systems work as intended while still taking advantage of some key Windows 10 features, such as new security protocols and virtual desktops. As noted by Wilcox, Windows 10 LTSC offers the biggest benefit to businesses “where the key requirement is that functionality and features don’t. The original version of Windows 10 (also retroactively named version 1507 and codenamed 'Threshold 1') was released in July 2015.It carries the build number 10.0.10240; while Microsoft has stated that there was no designated release to manufacturing (RTM) build of Windows 10, build 10240 was described as an RTM build by various media outlets. Officially, LTSC is a specialized edition of Windows 10 Enterprise that promises the longest intervals between feature upgrades of any version of the OS. My understanding is that Windows 10 LTSC 2019 is a stripped down version of Windows 10 for enterprises. It doesnt have any modern apps on it, nor does it have the Microsoft Store nor Microsoft Edge. If we used that version but wanted to add back a couple features that are missing, is that what 'Features on Demand' is all about?

Note
The Long-Term Servicing Channel was previously called the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). All references to LTSB are changed in this article to LTSC for consistency, even though the name of previous versions might still be displayed as LTSB.
With the LTSC servicing model, customers can delay receiving feature updates and instead only receive monthly quality updates on devices. Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period.

The Long-Term Servicing Channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the PCs in an organization. The LTSC edition of Windows 10 provides customers with access to a deployment option for their special-purpose devices and environments. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. These devices are also typically not heavily dependent on support from external apps and tools. Since the feature set for LTSC does not change for the lifetime of the release, over time there might be some external tools that do not continue to provide legacy support. See LTSC: What is it, and when it should be used.
