Windows 10 LTSC Feature to Windows 11 via Windows Update for Business and WSUS is possible?
Hi,
We have Windows 10 LTSC OS in running in Windows laptops\desktop in manufacturing unit which is then connected to specialized devices.
Windows 10 LTSC OS laptop\desktop is managed by Tanium and currently planning to enroll the devices in Intune to update to Windows 11 LTSC OS via WUFB.
But we found, WSUS wouldn't support Windows 10 LTSC feature update to Windows 11. It supports only quality update. And Windows Autopatch also supports only quality update to Windows 10 or 11 OS.
Please suggest, how we can migrate Windows 10 LTSC to Windows 11 LTSC via Windows Update for Business or Windows Autopatch??.. or specify any other mechanism\method can be used for the scenario?
We know that, WSUS is also getting deprecated now. MDT is also not supported for Windows 10 to Windows 11 migration. MECM\SCCM CB environment is not used in the customer environment. Tanium is currently used for device management..

Since WSUS only supports quality updates, and you're looking to upgrade from Windows 10 LTSC to Windows 11 LTSC, using Windows Update for Business (WUFB) is your best bet for feature updates. You can manage this through Intune by setting up update rings for the upgrade process. Alternatively, since Tanium is already in use, you might explore using its deployment features for the upgrade, as it supports OS deployment and can help with the migration to Windows 11 LTSC.

WUFB doesn't have a functionality to support feature update for Windows 10 LTSC & Windows 11 LTSC. WUFB and Windows Autopatch only supports quality updates for Windows 10\11 LTSC which will not required for Customer using LTSC channel. And Tanium as the feature to support LTSC.. My query is to get workaround methods for::
a) how we can migrate Windows 10 LTSC to Windows 11 LTSC (Feature Update) via Windows Update for Business or Windows Autopatch??
B)specify any other mechanism\method can be used for the above scenario?
