Upgrade floating desktops' template

I've created an Automated Pool with floating desktops, which are created from a XP Template, not cloned links.

I want to upgrade these desktops, or install something new on them, and I don't know if I have to do this just in the template, or I have to install or upgrade on every desktop?

Thanks in advance

You will either have to upgrade on every desktop or upgrade the template and then push out new desktops based on that template.

so, just in case these are link cloned desktops, you can upgrade the father vm and it will upgrade the pool?

No, you would still need to push out the new parent image to the pool.  In linked clone terms this is caused a recompose.
