In-place build upgrade with Windows Update?

Copper Contributor

Is there a way to download new builds through Windows Update, similar to Windows 10/11 experience?

Not yet. We just finished a survey with the Insider community to determine interest and it is something we are actively investigating.

@Mary Hoffman thanks Mary. I understand there's potential for stability issues if new builds break features, but perhaps something that's an opt-in on the device would be a good idea. 

I am very looking forward to this survey and outcomes. Having the ability to deploy in-place upgrades / drivers + firmware through Azure Update Management Center via seperate update categories would be very helpful.

Mary any update on in-place updates via Windows Update?
We still have a lot of work to do to enable this functionality for Server Editions. I'll post updates as we get closer.
Happy new year Mary and WS Team. That sounds still promising. Good luck on this.
