    Defender for Cloud/Defender for Servers will not recognize Windows 10 (not a supported OS). Win10 would be better monitored by Defender for Endpoint.

    If that is confusing, user devices are covered by MDE and usually E5/A4 licensing.

    Servers are covered by Defender for Servers and this includes MDE for servers.
