How can I forcefully upgrade Windows 7 or Windows 10 to the latest version of Windows 10 using System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch)?

[Nate2003]

What all steps would need to be modified if having this pushed to a Windows 7 for upgrade to Windows 10? I thought it was be just a couple of options as to what platforms to run on but haven't had it appear on my Win 7 test machine.

At this time the Deployment status shows "In Progress" with Description of "Program received."

I have not seen it appear in the  Software Center either with "Allow users to run the program independently of assignments" chosen in the earlier step.

 

Thanks!!

Hope this isn't a stupid question but i was wondering if both the Windows Setup Compatibility Scan and the actual upgrade (assuming the compatibility scan was successful) could be incorporated into the same TS? Is this even possible? Anyone tried to get it to work?

yes it works just fine

Did the CreateWindows10DeviceCollections.ps1 PowerShell script get removed from this post as I see no place where you can download it.

hi, I've added it back now, thanks for noticing

Thanks a lot for sharing this. Amazing job.
Would it be difficult to set the task to defer the upgrade process a few hours after the click on the Upgrade button?

i.e. Users will click on the 'Upgrade tonight' button and the process will resume after they've left the office for the day

Thanks

you'd just have to add a delay function on the associated button, either in the wrapper or the HTA itself

Hi

I was just about to create a similar script and found this, great work. Just tested and fond that i needed to remove the "" on the boolean on the reboot check: If objSysInfo.RebootRequired = "False" then  and on the ac check: If objItem.Discharging = "False" then

thanks,

 

also, I just checked the script, seems fine, those commands you mention are simply to help 'test' or 'debug' the script they don't change the functionality, look again at it.. so was it indeed this or something else you are referring to ?

cheers

Hi,
I've tried to add the timer to the HTA file for the 'Upgrade now' button but it failed. Could you please advise?

what do you mean it failed, do you get an error, if so what error and what functions did you add to the hta ?
