They might be right if the client is on a volume licensing program. Some

components for the activation of client PCs do not run on all versions of

Windows Server. I don't know which versions are supported for the

activation of Windows 10, but the minimum version is likely either Windows

2008 or Windows 2008 R2.

Also, some volume license programs have limited downgrade rights. So the

company might need to move to the current version (or one or two behind)

for compliance rather than technical reasons.
