Microsoft announced today that they are moving the November release of Windows 10 into the Current Branch for Business. Although businesses running Windows 10 1511 won’t need to take any action immediately, it’s important to understand the what this new designation means and how it will impact those running build 1507.
What the company is announcing today is that Windows 10 build 1511 is ready for your organization to begin broadly deploying the release. To be promoted to the CBB ring, the company examined feedback from early adopters for stability, bugs and everything else that can impact your operation; this specific build also includes the March cumulative update (KB3140768), which has been injected into the installation image.
If you already have machines running build 1511, then there’s no action needed other than running the monthly update procedures. If you are still using machines with build 1507, listed below is the impact this declaration may have on your deployment:
Microsoft has not publicly said how long after a major build of Windows 10 is released to when it will be promoted to the CBB. Seeing as this release took about five months to make it to the new distribution ring, this is the first baseline release we can use to understand when the Anniversary update will be pushed to the CBB as well.
