Before deploying a new Windows 10 feature upgrade, you need to have a good plan. Test it in a lab environment, deploy it to a limited group and test all your business applications before broad deployment. Do not treat a feature upgrade as normal monthly software updates. Treat it as a new operating system as if you were upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10.

This WIM file will be used for new computers, to upgrade an existing Windows 10, you need to import an Operating System Upgrade Packages. We will cover this in the next section.

We will now import the complete Windows 10 media in Operating System Upgrade Packages. This package will be used to upgrade an existing Windows 10 or a Windows 7 (or 8.1) device to Windows 10 using an Upgrade Task Sequence.

Everything is now ready to deploy to our Windows 10 computers. For our example, we will be upgrading a Windows 10 2004 to Windows 10 21H1. This task sequence can also be used to upgrade existing Windows 7 or 8.1 computers to install Windows 10 21H1.

An OS upgrade package in Configuration Manager contains the Windows setup source files to upgrade an existing OS on a computer. This article describes how to add, distribute, and service an OS upgrade package.

OS upgrade packages can also be used for new installations of Windows. However it is dependent on drivers being compatible with this method. When performing new installations of Windows from an OS upgrade package, drivers are installed while still in Windows PE versus simply being injected while in Windows PE. Some drivers are not compatible with being installed while in Windows PE. If drivers are not compatible with being installed while in Windows PE, then use an OS image, such as install.wim, instead.

Extract a specific image index from install.wim file of selected upgrade package and then select an image index from the list. This option automatically imports a single index rather than all image indexes in the file. Using this option results in a smaller image file, and faster offline servicing. It also supports the process to Optimize image servicing, for a smaller image file after applying software updates.

Configuration Manager overwrites the existing install.wim in the OS upgrade package. It extracts the image index to a temporary location, and then moves it into the original source directory. Before you import an OS upgrade package and enable this option, make sure to backup the original source files.

Distribute OS upgrade packages to distribution points the same as other content. Before you deploy the task sequence, distribute the OS upgrade package to at least one distribution point. For more information, see Distribute content.

This section applies to both OS images and OS upgrade packages. It uses the general term "image" to refer to the Windows image file (WIM). Both of these objects have a WIM, which contains Windows installation files. Software updates are applicable to these files in both objects. The behavior of this process is the same between both objects.

Using the steps described in this post, you can easily perform Windows 10 1903 upgrade using SCCM 1902. I will use an SCCM upgrade task sequence to perform the Windows 10 upgrade. I will cover the steps to upgrade Windows 10 1809 to Windows 10 1903 using SCCM upgrade task sequence.

The latest version of SCCM is version 1902. SCCM 1902 is also a baseline version. So you can either upgrade your Configuration Manager to version 1902 or use the SCCM 1902 baseline media to install the version 1902 from scratch.

As I mentioned above, by using an SCCM upgrade task sequence, we will perform Windows 10 upgrade. I have got some Windows 10 machines in my setup and they are currently on version 1809. All the Window 10 machines are 64-bit and are enterprise editions.

You can include software updates if you wish to install them along with operating system. At this point, I will choose Do not install any software updates. Click Next.

Select the purpose as Available. By selecting Available, the windows 10 upgrade task sequence appears in software center. The upgrade begins only when user clicks Upgrade.

So we have almost reached the final step which is performing the upgrade. Login to Windows 10 computer and initiate a Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle from Control Panel > Configuration Manager Icon.

HI Prajwal, Great Article, I just have a problem with the In-place upgrade on some of my Windows 7 machines, they have intel drivers which hard block the upgrade, and i have to manually remove them before i run the upgrade, is there a way to remove the drivers or choose an existing driver package that i have created on SCCM?

There are some additional options showed during upgrade. Example AV or any incompatible driver.

Any way of of excluding that or skipping.

Trying to troubleshoot why my OS upgrade package is not working as expected. I've deployed Windows 10 1809 via an OS upgrade task sequence, nothing else fancy on the TS, just the upgrade package which includes just the Enterprise index as I ripped that out of the install.wim to make offline servicing much faster.

When clicking install on the client included in the device collection the TS is deployed to, the TS starts, downloads the .wim and begins the upgrade. After some time, the device reboots without warning and shows the 'applying updates % out of %' usual screen. Eventually I log back in, check winver and the client is still on 1803 and the OS shows 'Installing...' within Software Center and nothing ever happens. Initially I assumed the upgrade was still running somewhere but I found no processes suggesting that was the case.

From all the reading I've done on servicing plans, it appears OS upgrade packages deployed via TS is still supposedly the preferred method for keeping on top of Windows 10 upgrades but if I can't get this to work then I'm not sure what other viable options are available?

How to Create SCCM Windows 10 Upgrade Task Sequence Configuration Manager ConfigMgr. There are methods in SCCM to upgrade existing Windows 10 devices to the newest version of Windows 10 1709. The latest version of Windows 10 1709 is called Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Browse the data source for the operating system upgrade package. Specify the operating system upgrade package. Provide the Windows 10 1709 Enterprise x86 or x64 binary network share location. Select the Architecture of Windows 10 and the base language.

Upgrade the operating system is the task sequence group where the actual in-place upgrade of Windows 10 1709 will happen. Post-installation is the stage where we set the installation of the packages or application.

One group missing in the video tutorial is the Software Update group or task. The last and final group of this Windows 10 1709 upgrade task sequence is for rollback. This action will take place when the upgrade is failed.

I am having a laptop with installed windows 7 and i need to do a in place upgrade to Windows 10 without removing a data. so in this case where i should do the configuration for the capture and restore data?

For doing a in place upgrade, we should first create a custom TS and do capture data and store onto Migration point and then create a another TS to upgrade OS by following your above steps and complete installation and then again need to create another custom TS for restoring data from Migration point?

dnf-plugin-system-upgrade is a plugin for the DNF package manager and is used to upgrade your system to the current release of Fedora.For Fedora Silverblue and Fedora CoreOS, which use rpm-ostree, you may refer to rpm-ostree documentation for details.

Back up your data before performing a system-wide upgrade as every system upgrade is potentially risky.As a precaution, download the Fedora Workstation Live image in the event something goes wrong.

You can also use 40 to upgrade to a Branched release, or rawhide to upgrade to Rawhide. Note that neither of these two are stable releases. For details about the upgrade process and common issues related to those two releases, please look at appropriate sections on aforelinked pages.

If you want to remove/install some packages manually before running dnf system-upgrade download again, it is advisable to perform those operations with --setopt=keepcache=1 dnf command line option.Otherwise the whole package cache will be removed after your operation, and you will need to download all the packages once again.

Trigger the upgrade process. This will reboot your machine (immediately!, without a countdown or confirmation, so close other programs and save your work) into the upgrade process running in a console terminal:

Some third-party packages drop edited configuration files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and reverting these files to their original versions may disable updates for the software.Please remember to review configuration files in this directory carefully.

If you use rpmconf to upgrade the system configuration files supplied with the upgraded packages then some configuration files may change. After the upgrade you should verify /etc/ssh/sshd_config, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/ntp.conf and others are expected. For example, if OpenSSH is upgraded then sshd_config reverts to the default package configuration. The default package configuration does not enable public key authentication, and allows password authentication. e24fc04721
