Apparently I was wrong. The automatic update has already started and it worked for 1709 to 1803. This makes it a lot easier. Thank you!
I've now tested the manual one from 1709 to 1803, and that works as well. I'll prep 2 systems for the automated update but from what I've gathered that will be after the 8th so we'll have to wait for that.
This worked perfectly. I only tested the manual one though and from 1703 to 1709 a well. When 1803 comes out I'll test the automatic upgrade as wel (on about 10 systems) and I'll let you know. Does using the Windows 10 Update Assistant tool count as automatic? As that would make it a lot easier to predict when these upgrades drop.
