SCCm upgrade OSD to the latest Windows 11 unattended?

Question

Dear Experts,

I'm looking for a way to upgrade our existing Windows 10 Pro Education (mostly 2004) to Windows 11 Pro Education, what we really need is to make the whole process automatic without user intervention, is it still possible? The case is that most of our devices needing upgrading are public devices that we need to power on and connect to our intranet and SCCM can force them to upgrade in an unattended way.

Another task I need to accomplish is to give the other users (who use dedicated devices) the option to upgrade their Windows 10 to Windows 11 at their desired time frame. How to get this to work?

One thing I need to mention is that some of the devices are not TPM embedded so how can we bypass the Windows 11 prer check and still force them to be upgraded? (right now I'm installing the new OS via MDT and this is not a concern but I'm not sure how it behaves if via SCCM)

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks a lot for reading.

Hi Eaven,

We can create one collection for public devices and dedicated devices each. For dedicated devices collection, when deploying the task sequence, the purpose we choose "Available".

For more detailed steps, we can refer to this guide.

For TPM, either we use MDT or MCM, if it is new install, both of them are writing the .wim file to the volume in the hard disk, so the behavior is the same.
