I am hoping to upgrade in the simplest way possible while preserving data and apps. All systems meet requirements.

Hey @Mudslide03 - Can you check if the machines are Windows 11 compatible? You can run a script using Pulseway automation. However, Windows 11 may require manual intervention, so it might not be achievable using Pulseway automation.

You can still try to use the script below:
# This function automatically upgrades a Windows 10 device to Windows 11. It cannot be used to roll back a Windows 11 upgrade.

write-host "Unblock Windows 11 Upgrade"
write-host "=========================================================================="

 

write-host "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate:"

 

"TargetReleaseVersion","TargetReleaseVersionInfo","ProductVersion" | % {
if ((gp "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" -ea 0).$_) {
write-host "- Located Registry value '$_'. Removing."
Remove-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" -Name $_ -Force
} else {
write-host ": No Registry value '$_' found."
}
}

 

write-host "- System should no longer be blocking updates to Windows 11."
write-host "  Reboot the system and re-scan for updates."

 

Please run the script in a test environment before you run in a production environment. Let me know if you need anything else😊

Thanks Mariale, The systems are all capable of running Windows 11. Will this script actually kick off the upgrade after the reboot?

@Mudslide03 - It should work, yes. However, we recommend to test it in one computer first. If you need more assistance with this, I'll loop in support😊
