Windows update/Intune Licensing question

Hi,

I tried raising a call with Microsoft but we had trouble communicating, and I couldn't get the answer out of them.

I need to be able to ensure that patches are applied within 14 days, so i found this article:-

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/protect/windows-10-feature-updates

I currently have 29 Std 365 licenses and 9 Basic licenses.

Do I need to upgrade them all to premium to ensure all PC are updated? Or do I just need to buy one Premium license

If seems a bit off if I have to upgrade a Basic license to a premium license at 3 times the cost.

There is the option of buying a stand-a-lone in-tune license, Can i just use them instead of upgrading everyone?

    Of what? This is unfortunately meaningless without the exact description of what you have licensed.
