Yesterday on W10, we were offered KB5007253 Cumulative Update Preview optional. If things proceed normally, in due course, we'll be offered KB5007253 Cumulative Update. I would like to know whether there can be a disadvantage to taking the Preview; can the same number update, when offered as an Update -- not a Preview -- be different from the Preview version? Does MS maybe fix things in the Preview to create the Final Update, so that Update Preview KB5007253 and Update KB5007253 can be significantly different?
On the 19th of November, on W11, we were offered KB5007262, a Cumulative Update Preview, and yesterday, the 22nd of November, we were offered KB5007262, a Cumulative Update. Those of us who took the Nov 19 version did not uninstall it and replace it with the Nov 22 version, but the question is, is that the right decision?
My primary question is simple: If there are changes, does the number change; conversely if the KB number of the Update is the same, is the Update the same?
If the Preview versions are issued to get feedback and to test them on different configurations, then presumably changes can be made after the Preview is issued and before the final is issued. Does anybody know for sure whether significant changes made to a Preview version result in a changed KB number?
