No, Pro is fine ... Workstation doesn't provide any benefit you would need:

Hello,
no Windows 10 is not supported on servers in general.
Here the OS supported with this server:

Chances are it will work just fine, but there are no guarantees. There may be driver issues that cannot be resolved. My advice: try it and see where you end up, and let us know if you run into issues someplace and we can try to help you work around them.
As for software installing on Server 2019, MOST software only does a major version check, which will match between Server 2016/2019 and Windows 10, but some will do an minor version check where they will differ, so again, that is something to test with your particular software.

Thank you so much for responding!
Is there a windows 10 version that you think may be the best bet?
Someone told me Windows 10 Pro.
Someone else said Windows 10 Pro for Workstations. I am not familiar with that one.

Hi there.Ok I got a server: Dell PowerEdge R620 8Bay Server, 2x 2.6GHz 8Core E5-2670, 64GB, 2x 600GB, H710
I found a download version of windows 10 pro and made a thumb drive to install it. I formatted a new ssd that I want to run windows on. When I get to the page where it asks what disc to install on it says there are no discs it says "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers then click ok.Where do I go to get them and any other drivers I may need?
Thanks!
Andre

I tried to install it. It does not seem to be recognized. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly

Drivers should be built into Windows 10, however, to use the drivers, you have to run the EXE first to EXTRACT the files, then put them in a folder on your flash drive, then browse to that location when it can't find disks to install to. You may need to uncheck the box to show you all drivers.
You must first create a RAID array (Virtual Disk) on the PERC before Windows can see anything, even if you do have the right drivers ... Windows can ONLY see Virtual Disks on the controller. If you have a single SSD, you will need to create a RAID 0 with it.
