There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |
On a couple of their pages that introduce the migration from 10 to 11 and how to prepare for it, Microsoft states that the migration can be controlled on machines that have Group Policy by use of the TRV setting within Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update for Business.
I’m curious just what the setting will be to indicate a system’s willingness to get upgraded from 10 to 11? 1121H2 perhaps?
Where do they say that? …
At the following location: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/windows-11-prepare#cloud-based-solutions
Here’s a brief quote from the paragraph where it’s found, under the sub-heading of “Cloud-based solutions”:
If you use Windows Update for Business Group Policy or Configuration Service Provider (CSP) policies, you will need to use the Target Version capability rather than feature update deferrals to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
I added bolding to emphasize the mentioning of Group Policy in the paragraph. The words “Target Version” were already bold in the original post on the page.
From what I’ve read in the link below that @PKCano posted as a big favor to @Tex265 who couldn’t get the link to post, there’s a change in Group Policy in 21H1 for Windows 10’s listings under Windows Update for Business. Looks like there is an added listing/policy to allow you to specifically define not only the OS version (20H2, 21H1, etc.) but whether or not you want to update from 10 to 11 as well. The article does mention that if you want to exclude yourself from being offered Windows 11, you will by default also exclude yourself from being offered 21H2 for Windows 10 as well for now.
For now, the article by Martin Brinkmann linked to below also answers my question about just how we’ll be able to make the jump from 10 to 11 once we’ve decided the time is right for our own individual situation(s).
After rereading the article by Martin Brinkmann on GHacks, I realize that I was somewhat mistaken in something I said in my post above.

I was mistaken. This change is currently only seen in the preview releases of Windows 11, NOT in any versions of Windows 10, as I had mistakenly stated above. The remainder of my statement is still correct, in that to exclude oneself from getting Windows 11 for now, one must set TRV to 21H1, per the GHacks article.
My apologies to one and all for my mis-statement quoted above.
