 The Azure Stack HCI Lifecycle Management orchestration integrates Solution Builder Extension updates, which include both Solution Builder Extension (hardware-only) updates and full solution updates for Azure Stack HCI and Solution Builder Extension. These updates can be managed using the same update management tools for the Azure portal and PowerShell. This means that you can install an urgent Solution Builder Extension update by itself or a combined "Solution" update using the same process.
 
+Check to see if you have SBE installed on your registered Azure Stack HCI system by running the following command:
+
+```powershell
+$Update = Get-SolutionUpdateEnvironment
+$Update = ft SbeFamily, HardwareModel, CurrentSbeVersion
+```
+
+Here's a sample output

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you don't have an SBE installed the CurrentSbeVersion default is shown as 2.1.0.0.
+
+To discover and install SBE or your SBE updates, use one of the methods in the next sections.

 ### Discover Solution Builder Extension updates via the Azure portal
 
-To discover and select updates via the Azure portal, see [Browse for cluster updates](../update/azure-update-manager-23h2.md#browse-for-cluster-updates).
+To discover and select updates via the Azure portal, see [Use Azure Update Manager to update your Azure Stack HCI, version 23H2](../update/azure-update-manager-23h2.md).
 
 ### Discover Solution Builder Extension updates via PowerShell
 
+Before you can install your SBE updates, sign in to the client with the domain user credentials that you provided during the deployment of the cluster.
+
 To understand if an update is a standalone Solution Builder Extension or combined "Solution" update, use the properties `PackageType` and `SbeVersion`.
