Huh? You only need the Pro version for Group Policy and all the registry settings, and you can get licenses for ~$20 if you buy an OEM license through an authorized reseller.

There's some limitations to the OEM licenses, but I've never run into them.

As far as I'm aware, LTSC just effects the update channel that Windows Update pulls from, with LTSC getting non-critical updates later and for longer after support "ends". Usually you can switch that in the registry.

Huh? Huuuuuhhhh?

I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of every windows version, but OEM versions are made to order by manufacturers and that comes with it's own special place in hell that I'm not even going to go into. LTSC has everything with no downsides, Home has Group Policy disabled, that was my comment. Despite your standoffish comment you didn't argue against any of that.
