How to upgrade to Windows 11 via WSUS

Question

Hi IT Pros,

I would need your help on this. Is there a way to upgrade to windows 11 by using windows update, this is a domain computer and we are using WSUS. Any certain KBs to apply for the upgrade? I have found an info to upgrade using script Windows11 assistant, but is there a way to use WSUS?

Thanks in Advanced

Answer 1

You need to log into the WSUS server and launch the WSUS console.

In the WSUS console, click Options and select Products and Classifications. Here you can specify the Microsoft products for which you want updates and the types of updates that you want.

On the Products and Classifications window, under Windows product, enable Windows 11 product. Click Apply and OK.

Answer 2

Likely WSUS as indicated above doesn't have Windows 11, but also, the Upgrades classification.

Please reference Part 3 of my guide which gives you more information.
