Question

Microsoft Endpoint and windows 11 upgrade

brichardi 361

Hello Microsoft Intune expert.

Our organization has about 10,000 laptop, and desktop running windows 10. The pc is co-managed using MECM, and Intune. We are not using autopilot.

Endpoint analytic shows 90% of our pc meet Windows 11 requirements.

My question is how do we smooth transition from windows 10 to windows 11? We prefer clean install of windows 11 and not the upgrade path. Should we use MECM UMST to migrate windows 10 to windows 11.

Thank you for your help.

Windows 11 falls under WaaS, same as Windows 10. It is designed for in-place upgrade and Microsoft designed it the same way to make the transition as seamless as possible. Wipe and load is an overkill in my opinion. Speaking from personal experience, I have done IPU of Windows 11 using ConfigMgr for Co-managed clients and it has worked without too many glitches. I will encourage you to give it a try.

Hi @brichardi ,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

We can use in-place upgrade task sequence or feature update in SCCM to transition from windows 10 to windows 11. For more information, please refer to:
