Enterprise LTSB is what you're looking for.

No Cortana, just old school search like in win7.

Microsoft wants to make money with services not software. I can understand their reasoning. Nobody wants to pay for an OS anymore. Win10 is their new business strategy: Cortana and the Store.

Unfortunately, Windows 10 LTSB is only available as part of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise is only available with a volume licensing agreement.

Yeah I didn't get it legally.

Microsoft does not want to sell something that strips out the stuff they make money from.
