Surface devices are designed to provide best-in-class experiences in productivity and general-purpose scenarios. Regular updates enable Surface devices to bring to life new innovations and to evolve with the new capabilities delivered by Windows 10 Feature Updates. Feature Updates are available only in Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise editions that receive continuous updates through the Current Branch (CB) or Current Branch for Business (CBB) servicing options.
In contrast to the CB and CBB servicing options, the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) cannot be selected in Windows 10 settings. To use the LTSB servicing option, you must install a separate edition of Windows 10 Enterprise, known as *Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB*. In addition to providing an extended servicing model, the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB edition also provides an environment with several Windows components removed. The core Surface experiences that are impacted by LTSB include:
