Hello all,
Our OS is Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB version 1607, but if I try to search for updates, this isn't an offered option on the website page. Should I use another option and if so, which one?

After doing some investigation, I found this.

It seems that version of Windows does not use the common Windows updates path.
"Long-term Servicing Branch can be upgraded, one to another," said Todd Furst, a Microsoft technical architect, in a presentation last year at his firm's Ignite conference. "You can upgrade it in place, but there's some caveats. You basically have to do a full OS deployment. There's no special tools that say, 'Just do the upgrade for me.' You have to push the whole OS down. If you want to do the servicing rings inside of Config Manager or Windows Update for Business, that's only for Current Branch."
In other words, LTSB/LTSC requires full-size media to upgrade and new versions of the build are not published to Windows Update or available through WSUS (Windows Server Update Services).
Where do you get the next LTSC then? At the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
Assuming this is still being used on the Enterprise platform, the IT section from your firm needs to deploy the update to the next or latest version. If this PC is no longer be used on the originating platform, it needs to be switched to a regular Windows install by installing regular Windows 10.
I'm not an HP employee.
