It behaves like a modern version of Windows 7 with all the improvements including DirectX 12. No forced upgrades every 6 months, get support for 10 years regardless of which LTSB / LTSC version you are using.

      As for your Kaby Lake, it is recommended to install LTSC as the Intel graphic driver is now DCH ONLY, which means you need to get a SCRIPT by googling it to enable the Windows Store in order to install the DCH driver.

                  Ah wait no I can't. No Intel drivers since Kaby Lake. Curse you Intel. Why can't you let me enjoy the superior OS and force me to run on Winbloat 10 Ads with No Privacy?!
