Ah yes I see, I had to actually google more to find out you were right about having to be in the OS already. That is a little surprising but at least there are powershell, login script, psexec, etc options to kick those off automatically.

It doesn't show what you need to do upgrade without being in the OS.

My question is, can I boot machines with WDS and PXE to run the upgrade task sequence instead of running it from a logged on computer? When I attempt this for some reason the window does not show the task sequence for upgrading at all, it is blank. Although if I run the litetouch.vbs while logged into the computer, it works fine just like in the article. Wondering if what I am trying to do is supported. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-to-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit Dan Franciscus Systems Administrator Information Technology Group Institute for Advanced Study 609-734-8138 ********************************************************** Electronic Mail is not secure, may not be read every day, and should not be used for urgent or sensitive issues ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The information contained in this communication and all accompanying documents from Coilcraft may be confidential and/or legally privileged, and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
