Hello.
I recently came into possession of an HP Z420 Workstation that has Win 10 Enterprise LTSB installed. I first pulled the ssd, replacing it with another ssd to which I installed Windows 10 Pro.
After setting up, activating the os, installing HP's drivers etc, I installed and ran Geekbench. The score was as good as I had hoped, just shy of 20,000 for Multicore performance.
Curiosity got the better of me, thinking that since LTSB was less resource hungry that it may yield a slightly higher score. So I swapped the drives and installed Geekbench on the LTSB drive. I was a bit surprised to see that the score dropped by nearly 25% to 15,000 or so for Multicore Performance.
Here is a link to the two scores in a comparison at the Geekbench browser.
Is there any reason why one would score so much higher than the other? Same computer, same exact components, same drivers, different OS version. They were taken only hours apart from what I can remember. I can't make sense of it.
Thank you in advance.
