Comparing a new install of Windows 11 vs. a Windows 10 to 11 upgrade via Feature Update, are there some things that are not enabled or configured in the OS with the upgrade scenario compared to a new install of 11 that we should be aware of?

    R D When we say Windows 11 is the most secure OS, we mean by default on a new installation. If you have a Windows 10 device with all of the security features disabled, we will not automatically enable them in an IPU scenario. So to answer your question, yes there will be a difference in an IPU vs fresh install, based on what's installed and enabled on the Windows 10 device prior to IPU.

      is there a list of these features that we can review and is there anything prohibiting certain features from being enabled after the upgrade?

        R D I'm not sure we document all of the features, but on a managed device we should not be automatically enabling any features that have been disabled by policy.
