Will the new installer be offered via Windows Automatic Updates or is
it
optional?

It is optional but I would recommend updating to it as I now
understand that one of the neat feature available is snapshot
installing. Programmers and developers may take advantage of this
feature so it doesn't hurt to be future-proofed.

Thanks.

Have searched "Snapshot Installation" but cannot get a clear description
of it.

Could you expand/explain the advantages of it please?
