As a rule of thumb, RestoreX360 supports all Windows updates (service pack updates and etc.), but RestoreX360 does not support Windows upgrades such as going from Windows version 7 to Windows version 11.
Because during a Windows upgrade, there are significant changes to the file system and partition tables (bootloader used for the upgrade process). To make the changes to the bootloader and the file system, the upgrade process usually need to boot from a PE environment to access them. This action violates one of the RestoreX360 product limitations (Why you should not boot from another O.S. (external media) on a system with RestoreX360 installed).
In addition, as you might know, RestoreX360 is a “disk utility” that depends on the Windows file system and partition tables.
So it’s best to remove RestoreX360 before upgrading the Windows files system and partition tables.
But for Windows Update which only copies new files and installs new features of Windows. O.S., RestoreX360 has no problem with the process.
