Thank you everyone! Please find me at @LURIE_MSFT on Twitter for questions and updates! - Thanks for joining us. Follow and reach out on Twitter - @Hoorge
- Will the Update from Windows 10 to Windows 11 always be a full core update? or will i have an "enablement package" option. IE. in the future i am on Win10 23H1 and ready to move my Org to Windows 11.
- David_MebaneWindows 10 to Windows 11 will require an OS swap. An enablement package will not be available.
- AriaUpdatedFeel free to reach out with any feedback or questions! @ariaupdated 🙂
- Great session, lots of great info, thanks! Any news if Windows 11 upgrade readiness is coming to Intune?
- Let's talk about Windows Feature Experience Packs... are these going to be the way to update Features on Windows 11 going forward since the WaaS model is going away? If so, will we be able to manage them?
- Use the Windows Insider Program for Business https://insider.windows.com/en-us/for-business to explore the latest features, validate your apps and infrastructure and generally help making Windows better and get ready for adoption on day 1
- Office 365 has a version history page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-microsoft365-apps-by-date Is there an equivalent for Windows OS ?

And the Windows release information page: https://aka.ms/windows/releaseinfo - Heather_Poulsen
100%. We have Windows Update History pages on support.microsoft.com: Windows 10 update history (microsoft.com)
this is a great resource Heather_Poulsen , thank you. Also is there an equivalent to the Microsoft 365 roadmap that will show items \ features in dev.

- Is there a set # of previous versions that an "enablement package" will be good for. Is it an N-2 model or does it depend on what is the delta change between versions?
- David_MebaneSummarizing what Aria shared, enablement packages are always built from a specific OS version. For example, the 1909 enablement package is built against 1903. So this can be used to move from 1903 to 1909, but not from 1809 (for example) to 1909. Depending on the feature update, we may build one or more enablement packages against a previous release before introducing another "OS swap" release.
- Is there a way to track which version have enablement options vs which features will require an OS Swap? Is it also safe to say that most Win10 H2 versions will be an enablement package.
