Upgrade Windows Version number
HI All,
First post so go easy. I tested Windows updates via PDQ deploy which work really well however I want to roll out the latest version number of Windows to the client PC's. For example how do i push out 1803 to PC's that have 1609 installed or is this not possible?
Any help is very much appreciated.

Look here:
Win 10 Upgrades
I think the question you are looking for is how to apply a feature update with PDQ Deploy.
Look on a computer that has been updated to 1803 for the "1803" temp install files directory.
Copy that directory to your repository.
Create the following step (including copy the entire directory)
$(Repository)\1803\setup.exe /auto upgrade /quiet
Make sure you test this before widespread use. It's worked well for us but might not for everyone.
Robert, hopefully you can share your thoughts on this one. I'm downloading the Full ISO/files every time I want to apply a feature update, those are placed in a repository and although running the setup.exe + switches takes care of my needs, it takes quite a while for the upgrade to complete.
My goal is now to reduce the time, and possibly network traffic that it takes to complete this process when applied to 250+ computers, unfortunately,I don't have WSUS and its neat update control features in my toolbox, so I was wondering if your process involves a smaller file when using the temp install ? or we're technically using the same method of downloading the full ISO files. I looked around but many articles pointed to the same method I'm actually using.
Your help is much appreciated.
