Specific Windows 10 Version Upgrade

We have a few machines that are out of date when it comes to feature releases. Right now I am looking to standardize our update cycle and would like to know if there is an easy way to give a targeted feature release without manually going to the Windows Catalog and pushing it that way.

Essentially if I have a computers on versions 1709, and 1803 I want to bring it up to 1809 instead of 1903 or 1909. It doesn't look like PDQ has version specific update packages that do this from what I can see. Is this something that can be easily done? What would be the best practice for something along these lines?

Ditto here...need to be able to push an 1803 to next builds but see no way to do so on PDQ.

It's pretty easily done.

I extract the Windows ISO of whatever version I want to upgrade to a folder and then 7Zip it so that when I copy it over, I don't copy a ton of files but one.

I add that 7z file to the repository.

Create a step to copy the file over:

Once it's on the box I unzip it:

and then create a step to install it:

Thanks Brian, this is a great tip. I'll test that out here in a little bit and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Brian, we made a package like you described and it works like a charm!
