#### Cloud-based solutions
- If you use Windows Update for Business policies, you will need to use the **Target Version** capability rather than feature update deferrals to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Feature update deferrals are great to move to newer versions of your current product (for example, Windows 10, version 20H2 to 21H1), but do not enable you to move between products (Windows 10 to Windows 11). In Group Policy, the **Select target Feature Update version** has two entry fields after taking the September 1st optional update or later ([KB5005101](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/september-1-2021-kb5005101-os-builds-19041-1202-19042-1202-and-19043-1202-preview-82a50f27-a56f-4212-96ce-1554e8058dc1)): **product version** and **target version**. The product field must specify Windows 11 in order for devices to upgrade to Windows 11. If only target version is configured the device will be offered matching versions of the same product. For example, if a device is running Windows 10, version 2004 and only the target version is configured to 21H1, this device will be offered version 21H1, even if multiple products have that same version.

- Quality update deferrals will continue to work the same across both Windows 10 and Windows 11. This is true regardless of which management tool you use to configure Windows Update for Business policies.
- If you use Microsoft Intune and have a Microsoft 365 E3 license, you will be able to use feature update deployments to easily update devices from one release of Windows 10 to another, or to upgrade Windows 10 devices to Windows 11. You can also continue using the same update experience controls to manage Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The following are some common use cases and the corresponding Microsoft Endpoint Manager capabilities that support them:
- **Provision and pre-configure new Windows 11 devices**: [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) enables you to deploy new Windows 11 devices in a “business-ready” state that includes your desired applications, settings, and policies. It can also be used to change the edition of Windows. For example, you can upgrade from Pro to Enterprise edition and gain the use of advanced features. The [Windows Autopilot diagnostics page](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot-whats-new#preview-windows-autopilot-diagnostics-page) is new feature that is available when you use in Windows Autopilot to deploy Windows 11.
- **Configure rules and control settings for users, apps, and devices**: When you enroll devices in [Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/what-is-intune), administrators have full control over apps, settings, features, and security for both Windows 11 and Windows 10. You can also use app protection policies to require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for specific apps.

You can also use app protection policies to require multifactor authentication (MFA) for specific apps.
- **Streamline device management for frontline, remote, and onsite workers**: Introduced with Windows 10, [cloud configuration](/mem/intune/fundamentals/cloud-configuration) is a standard, easy-to-manage, device configuration that is cloud-optimized for users with specific workflow needs. It can be deployed to devices running the Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 11 by using Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
If you are exclusively using an on-premises device management solution (for example, Configuration Manager), you can still use the [cloud management gateway](/mem/configmgr/core/clients/manage/cmg/overview), enable [tenant attach](/mem/configmgr/tenant-attach/device-sync-actions), or enable [co-management](/mem/configmgr/comanage/overview) with Microsoft Intune. These solutions can make it easier to keep devices secure and up-to-date.
