Which version of Win10 Pro upgrade in WSUS should i use?
We have Win10 Pro laptops, and need to upgrade to the latest version of Win10 Pro, which are on all different editions (1709, 1803, etc) to the latest Win10 Pro ver1909. We use our KMS server with MS volume licensing to register our laptops (we do not want Enterprise). I have 2 questions:
1. Would the ver1909 be comprehensive and i just need to run that version no matter the original on our laptops to upgrade from? (1709, 1803, etc - we currently have all different Pro versions on the domain)
2. I have choices in WSUS to upgrade our Win10 Pro versions:
- Feature update to Win10 (consumer edition)
- Feature update to Win10 (business edition)
- Feature update to Windows 10 version x64 via Enablement Package
Which of these should i choose in WSUS?

Great as always. Thanks.
The first question has been already answered. You go directly to the latest version.
The second question:
If you are not sure what all you have, you should choose all 3 packages. You will not make a mistake with approving all three updates.
Also, I recommend you to schedule this upgrade (during non-working hours / night) as it's gonna take some time (35-45 minutes).
2004 will be available soon, however, I would go for 1909 and let the MS some time to fix main issues that will certainly appear in 2004.
The second question:
Business edition upgrades apply to Volume Media installations. This could be a Pro, Pro for Workstations, Enterprise, or Education edition, but is always created from a Volume media license and usually is done for scale deployment methods (SCCM, KACE, WDS, PDQ Deploy, etc).
Consumer Editions apply to OEM/Retail/USB Media installations from the Media Creation Tool. This could be Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, Enterprise, Education editions.
