    Can anyone here confirm whether this actually runs on 1607 (LTSB)?
    MS says that the minimum W10 build on which I ll be able to run this game is ... 18362.0 or higher
    So, is this actually true?

    Well...I do :oops:
    Its lightweight, fast, stable and covers my needs (up until now at least)
    I will eventually move to a more modern build, when I feel this is no longer the case

    But for the time being, it would be useful to have an answer to this question

    The hardware I use on that PC comes around the time this build was released. It still runs on X99 + Broadwell CPU. Main scope of that machine is stability and performance. And 1607 does that perfectly. Much better than many other W10 releases I ve been subjected to over the years. Hence no reason for me to move away from it. Still has just under 4yrs of support, so I ll worry about upgrading later

    Having said that, the 21H2 doesn't look bad. But it is annoying that it won't be getting the full 10yr support that some of the previous LTSB/LTSC had

    FYI 1607 (up to 14392.4288) it's still the best RFX release although it was supported until 2004 , which has a lot to do with gaming
