General questions on what happens when a 'New Build' appears.
I've very recently jumped on the W10 bandwagon but realised that I don't know for sure exactly what happens or what to expect when a new build comes along.
1/ For example, when a new build is released, is it the whole OS that gets replaced (a bit like doing an upgrade install) or is it just the appropriate lines of code within the existing OS that get updated to change whatever the new build is set to offer ?
2/ I have my W10 pro install set to 'defer' upgrades simply because this PC has to be guaranteed stable and trouble free.
So I'm wondering what sort of timescale I might see new builds appear. Would it be days, weeks... or months even after general release that they would appear for me ?
3/ And finally... does a new build just download silently in the background and install automatically or is there warning that its going to occur, and warning that its going to install ?
And thoughts that keep running through my head... if a new build replaces the entire OS then I assume that all the updates and so on that were relevant to the previous build are deleted as well. A new fresh start with each build in in other words. Or does it not work quite like that :)
