Doesn't seem like it. In this strip, you see Winslow connected to a computer via cable, and it has 'transfer complete' in the background of the 2nd panel. Admittedly, you don't see where he's transferring from.
Winslow did upload himself into Hannelore's 'training boyfriend' in the earlier comics.

Interesting speculation, but I don't see anything to support it.

I don't remember this. When did she do that?
--- End quote ---
I think the storyline referenced starts with 3436. When Brun makes Renee realise she (Renee) may be attracted to Elliot.

Maybe AI Drive swapping is preferrable over cable transfer, but not always possible? When Roko was given her new body, the only thing we know is she was loaded into her new body, but that doesn't say whether by download (cable) or drive placement. Maybe her drive was connected to the server farm, just to be able to boot her up in virtual.
Those AI drives kinda seem more and more like the DHFs from Altered Carbon to me now.
Farideh:
At the moment, all we can do is speculate and wait for the day that Jeph decides to enlighten us about this aspect of the QC-verse. So far, all we have seen is cable transfers, not physical drive relocations. I always assumed that the physically reinforced drives (like those of the fighters bots, and Roko) were just there to keep the AI intact until it could be loaded into a new chassis.
Tova:
Just to throw one more variable into the mix, maybe the mentions of 'substrate' in the comic are actually references to software substrate.
