Java on Windows

How do I configure jre in a Windows environment to carry forward the Java properties files (java.policy, java.secuity, the exception list) when I upgrade Java?

My old Java directory was: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_71\lib\security
My new Java directory is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_161\lib\security

Is there an upgrade flag or setting that does this automatically.   For one PC its manageable but for many its a problem.

Keeping Java.policy and java.security settings with a Java upgrade

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
