Manually upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 can be time-consuming, especially when verifying hardware compatibility and coordinating reboots with end users. This Automation removes the guesswork by running a hardware check first, then guiding users through the upgrade process in a user-friendly way. Instead of scripting complex checks or scheduling manual interventions, you simply tag an endpoint or manually trigger the Automation to ensure smooth, consistent upgrades.
Description
The Windows 10 to Windows 11 Upgrade Automation performs a hardware check script to confirm that the target device meets Windows 11 requirements. If it passes, the user is prompted daily to approve the upgrade. Once they consent, the script to perform the upgrade runs, and an alert is created if the attempt fails. If successful, the user is prompted to reboot, the system restarts automatically upon their approval, and the “Windows 11 Upgrade” tag is removed to indicate completion. This process ensures you’re fully informed at every stage, including automated alerts to signal any upgrade failures.

FAQ
Do I need to write my own scripts for this upgrade?
No. This Automation includes built-in steps and scripts, so you don’t have to create or maintain code yourself.
What if a device fails the hardware check?
The process won’t proceed with the upgrade. You can investigate hardware compliance or consider other upgrade paths.
What happens if the upgrade fails?An alert labeled “Windows 11 Upgrade Failed Alert” is automatically created. You can then investigate logs and retry the process as needed.
How often is the user prompted to upgrade?
By default, the Automation prompts daily until the user accepts. You can adjust this setting if needed.
Is the reboot forced, or does the user control it?
