How do I update Windows 10 IoT Core without re-flashing SD card?

After setting up Windows 10 IoT Core on Raspberry Pi 2 and getting all comfortable with it, along comes Visual Studio 2015 with the message: "Please upgrade your remote debugger to match Visual Studio." which apparently means repeating the entire installation (flash from scratch) as described here http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/SetupRPI.htm

Is a "reinstall from scratch" the only way to currently update the Windows 10 IoT Core ? What about something like apt-get update?

With the release of Windows 10 IoT Core build 10586, you can update Windows IoT over the Internet just like we do in Windows.

To update Windows IoT, follow the steps:

  1. Connect your Raspberry Pi 2's Ethernet to the Internet (i.e. with Internet Router or Modem).
  2. Connect your computer/tablet to the same network on which Raspberry Pi 2 is connected.
  3. Open Windows IoT's Web-management portal.
  4. Login to the Web-management portal.
  5. From the left black-panel 'UTILITIES', click 'Windows Update'.
  6. Finally, to update Windows 10 IoT Core, click on 'Check for updates' button and wait for the magic.

Newer to web management portal?
