Been curious to look into this as Server seems more viable than LTSC if you're looking to get a stripped down, less bloated Windows 10 without the Apps, Cortana, Store, etc but still get at least a couple of the feature updates you might want. I've used LTSC (and LTSB before that) since the first 2015 launch but on the side for gaming (and my work with game creation through Unreal Engine 4) there is occasionally a feature update you DO want, for example prior to the LTSC 2019 release you were stuck without any ray tracing support at all if you were on LTSB since it was locked to version 1603. So until LTSC 2019 released, I could never even use the ray tracing features in UE4 since it required DXR which required at least v1803, nor the new RTX accelerated texturing baking in Substance Painter which also requires DXR. Now instead of getting LTSC 2020 like we should have given the 2 year release cadence, Microsoft changed to 3 year releases and now we're looking at end of 2021 for the next update that will include feature updates you might really want such as GPU Scheduling and support for the newly updated version of DXR (So far only required for WoW ray tracing, but will likely be required for many more games soon).

In my experience with 2012r2 installing drivers for consumer hardware, I have found a better method. Run the exe installer and let it unpacks the files to a directory in C:\ cancel it before it actually installs the drivers for you. With device manager, update the driver, choose -browse my computer for driver software-, browse to the director for example nvidia\(driver version number)\(win version)\ then click -include subfolders- then click next. Windows should install the drivers if they are compatible.
I also use this same method for installing GPU drivers (but not limited to) on windows 10 desktop when I don't want the bloatware and unwanted/unneeded utilities.

Windows 10 is a steaming pile of garbage -- it blows my mind Kool aid drinkers tolerate this BS, that could only have been described as spyware and trojan horse behavior, 10-15 years ago . I've been using Server 2019 as a desktop OS for years now. It's great -- no bloat, no spying, no cortana, way faster, no random windows store apps installing, total control over updates, etc. It's the closest thing to Win 7 that you will ever find. I had a bit of trouble with the NIC install, but the work around wasn't too bad. Other than that the ONLY thing I've found that doesn't work is mainstream virus software. For now I'm just relaying on Defender and haven't had an issue.

What version did u use? I did this since Server 2002 Enterprise x64. Was more driver challenge then w/ kernels & driver for x64 especially nVidia SLI coming out new or would be X-Fire. By 2005 it was better & overclocking was stable then. Now I-m just about stable high end media workstation mode on server workstation grade platform. Dual Xeon on older but stable Intel C612 chipset. I always had good luck w/ Intel Pro wireless but lately the AC7260 has stutters issues again but it-s old. lol so putting an AX210 in

VEN_1022 = AMD DEV_145A = AMD PCIe chipset driver. Sometimes chipset and processor require a reboot to be picked up after a catalogue installation. Deferring chipset driver installation until a reboot is common as it may cause instability on a live system. Windows has a mechanism for this, but I do wish it would put something next to an 'other' device stating it will likely be picked up at the next reboot.

Hello, thank you for the good tutorial. But I have a problem. I use Server 2016 and I suppose what you explained is applicable for 2016 as well. But I still can not play a game. The computer sees my GPU (RX 570 Series) but if a play RD2, it says my GPU doesn't meet the requirements.
If try to install the driver the way you do, I get the pop up that my card doesn't meet the requirements

i did a windows server 2016 thing in 2017, and im gonna be honest, it was actually interesting. my system at the time was trash and it did not feel that straight forward installing things. some things couldnt install. but when i did 2019 a few months back it was boring. just felt like straight forward windows 10. and ppl didnt want me doing it, therefore, it was no fun.

Hey thanks man!
Really worked out
I am planning to do a server and a gaming pc in one chassis build
I've chosen the tr 3990x 64 core 128 thread cpu which offers good clock speed and I thought about gaming in that beast.
I've tried Hyper - V but you would have to run the os only after I boot up win 10 pro

this is all preference and drivers stuff. Are there any guides to getting performance running better? For example I have a CSGO server that seems to be struggling at times. Yet its got a huge 64gb or ram, more than capable cpu and huge internet connection. I'm baffled why its struggling at times.

Great video. You taught me a new feature to use during shutdown. I still have not been able to install graphics drivers though. I'm using server 2012 essentials and it won't detect my ryzen 3 2200g radeon graphics. Any suggestions?
