It’s becoming more and more evident Microsoft is putting all the meat on the grill to increase the share of Windows 11 users with higher speed. And with the latest news in this regard, I admit that it seems to me that they have been quite successful. Again, as with yesterday’s discussion of the future taskbar overflow feature, we’re looking at a small tweak, but it’s one of those tweaks that adds up to a lot of user experience points.

If you’ve ever installed Windows, it’s very likely that you found this after the process was complete was not the latest build of the operating system and then you had to update it. The problem is that quite often this process can be quite lengthy, especially if it first installs the available updates for the build you have installed and only then offers you the option to update to the current build.

And it might seem like a small detail since we don’t install/reinstall/update Windows very often (although I know people who did it every two weeks and I don’t see any friends named Carlos..), but yes, when we do, we hope to make this process as quick as possiblebut because of what I mentioned, the process can take more than half an hour (I speak from my own experience), half an hour during which of course you can’t use the computer and you try to supervise it just in case.

And it looks like this problem will end soon, because according to what we read on Softpedia, the latest cumulative update for Windows 11, KB5015882, which is now available as a preview via manual download from Windows Update, includes a new option that makes it easy to upgrade to the latest version of the operating system directly from the OOBE screen (Ou Of the Box Experience) Windows installation.

This way, when we install an operating system from a previous build, and if our system is compatible with the latest version of Windows 11, the installer will be able to automatically search for updates and download the update from the first moment. In other words, the Windows 11 installer will take care of in a single process we have the latest version of the operating systeminstead of having to update it afterwards.

However, since it is possible that the user wants to install a specific build of Windows 11 and not the latest, the wizard will ask the user if they want to perform such an update or if, on the contrary, you prefer the one you are currently installing.
