It would be awesome if WUFB deployment service is aware of Windows 11 device upgrade eligibility so it knows what FU it can deploy to the device. From my understanding the "Upgrade Windows 10 devices to Latest Windows 11 release" WUFB policy option will not work the way that it reads because the WUFB DS cannot make those intelligent decisions for each device. I was attempting to rely only on the WU profile and to NOT use a FU profile so devices would automatically do FUs based on the deferral period and their Win 11 compatibility. I was isntead advised to create multiple FU profile and target them to the device. But since my rings are mixed with compatible and non-compatible devices which can quickly becomes a cumbersome task. Currently I'm targeting the rings with a Windows 11 FU target and after that's had time for them to upgrade, I change it to the latest Windows 10 version so the non-compatible devices will upgrade, which is not ideal.

Hi Joseph, You are correct that we don't currently have a good way to automatically upgrade compatible devices to Win11, and then give a Win10 feature update to devices not compatible with Win11. The recommendation is to use one of the WIn11 readiness reports, and create new AAD groups, for example one for "not Win11 compatible". Then, in your Feature Update policies, you can create a Win11 targeted update, and also assign the "not Win11 compatible" group as an Exclusion group... to remove those devices from the primary set you've assigned. You can do the reverse in a Win10 policy. We are looking into how we can make this easier, but hopefully these ideas will get you started!- Thank you for the reply, I look forward to it!
