There are instructions for turning various versions of Windows Server into a "workstation" desktop OS. There have typically been few reasons to do so, aside some very specific uses (based on functionality only available in the server OS version, or simply because someone wants to try it). And bringing the functionality of a desktop-orientated OS by enabling services and installing 3rd party software (like Classic Shell and whatever else) kind of makes it messy and inconvenient to configure. You really have to work to make it as usable as the equivalent desktop release.
But, aside from the price of a server license, "Windows NT 10 Professional" does look appealing in that it has better flexibility/more predictable LTSB branch and virtually no privacy issues. It's an obvious solution for enterprise customers and even some consumers who have problems with Windows 10 "features". I would pay extra for that OS.
Anyone else have thoughts about why this might be a dumb or good idea?
