How do I enable Windows 10 and Windows 8 Patching support for SCCM 2007? First, SCCM 2007 SP2 and above official support for Windows 10 is available only for the Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 long-term servicing branch (LTSB) edition. (Microsoft does not support Other editions of Windows 10).
This doesn’t mean other versions of Windows 10 patching won’t work with SCCM 2007 SP2; it does mean that Microsoft has not tested different versions of Windows 10. Windows 8.1 patching can also be accomplished via SCCM 2007 SP2.
We must update the WSUS server to support Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB and Windows 8.1 patching via SCCM 2007 SP2. To enable these patches, the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 – KB2734608 update needs to be installed on your WSUS 3.0 SP2 server.
Enabling Windows 10 and Windows 8 patching support for SCCM 2007 involves several steps to ensure compatibility and functionality. This post provides all the details.
