When you put /sqt/ in your title, you add yourself to the catalog searches for that thread. Don't do that. The thread exists to avoid unnecessary clutter. If we can't answer it there, this is not the board for you.

Sorry, will remember about that next time.

Server follows LTSB upgrade path, so you won't be getting 1703 but will get the next one if that worries you.

>I heard on /g/ that Server 2016 might be better than Edu even for everyday desktop.

Installing any windows past 7 is never a good idea.

Nope. Both the Windows and server variants are the same thing. The only differences are certain feature sets and support for higher hardware configurations. There's nothing you can't get in edu that you would need for an everyday desktop. In fact, you even be able to game reliably on Windows server

Server is on the long term support update channel so some features will be missing or broken for longer. Education gets normal updates and works fine as a daily driver. I have been using education since anniversary launched and have had no problems with it.
