Have you ever setup a lab machine running Windows Server and realized you are missing a bunch of drivers? This can greatly affect disk I/O and overall performance of the server. If you setup that same server running Windows 10 all the drivers and driver updates come down automatically (If Group Policy Allows it).
With the new Windows Admin Center you can now see and install driver updates in Windows Server 2016!
If I look at Windows Update on my Hyper-V Server. I can see that there are no updates available.
But if I pull this same server up in Windows Admin Center. I can see all the driver updates as well.
This makes using Windows Core or Server 1709 for my Hyper-V Host server a real possibility. I no longer have to hunt down and create a custom ISO to install 1709 with the correct drivers. All I need is the NIC drivers and I am golden.
