Installing Windows 11 at scale

Hi friends,

it's been some time since the company's computers appeared the option to install windows 11, but we deactivated it to avoid problems.

Now we are going to start the update and I would like to hear what options I have to install gradually without intervention?

Of course if I remove the option the GPO will show up again, but will they install automatically?

Thanks.

    Hi @Salves ,

    You have some options to do that.

    On-Premises solutions (WSUS, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager)

    Cloud-based solutions (Microsoft Endpoint Manager)

    Block or force upgrade to Windows 11 with Group Policy

    Hi Salves,

    If you don't have or want to go down the route of WSUS or Endpoint Manager, you should find that if you remove the GPO blocking the Windows 11 updates, they will regain the option to update, but you will need to initiate it on each individual PC.

    I hope this answers your question.
