# Migrating to App-V from a Previous Version
# Migrating to App-V from previous versions
Applies to: Windows 10, version 1607
With Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V), you can migrate your existing App-V 4.6 or App-V 5.0 infrastructure to the more flexible, integrated, and easier to manage App-V infrastructure.
However, you cannot migrate directly from App-V 4.x to App-V for Windows 10—you must migrate to App-V 5.0 first. For more information on migrating from App-V 4.x to App-V 5.0, see [Migrating to App-V server from a Previous Version](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/mdop/appv-v5/migrating-to-app-v-51-from-a-previous-version)
**Note**  
Packages for App-V for Windows 10 are exactly the same as packages for App-V 5.0. There has been no change in the package format between the versions and therefore, there is no need to convert App-V 5.0 packages to App-V for Window 10 packages.
For information about the differences between earlier versions of App-V, see the **Differences between App-4.6 and App-V 5.0 section** of [About App-V 5.0](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/mdop/appv-v5/about-app-v-50).
When you upgrade your existing App-V environment to App-V for Windows 10, version 1607, you'll experience more flexibility, integratation, and ease of management. You can upgrade from any App-V 5.x release, however, you cannot upgrade directly from App-V 4.x to App-V for Windows 10; you must upgrade to App-V 5.x first. For more information about upgrading to App-V for Windows 10, see [Upgrading to App-V for Windows 10 from an existing installation](appv-upgrading-to-app-v-for-windows-10-from-an-existing-installation.md)
>**Note**  
THe package format for App-V packages created with App-V 5.x has not changed in App-V for Windows 10. As a result, you don't need to convert packages.

The following is a known issue in Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) in Windows 10, version 1607:
The following is a known issue in Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows 10, version 1607:
**MSI packages generated by the App-V sequencer (version 5.1 and earlier) fail to install on computers with the in-box App-V client**
**Windows Installer packages (.msi files) generated by the App-V sequencer (version 5.1 and earlier) fail to install on computers with the in-box App-V client**
When MSI packages are generated by an older sequencer (App-V versions 5.1 and earlier), they include a check to ensure the App-V client is installed before allowing the MSI package to install. Now that the App-V client is installed automatically when you upgrade user devices to Windows 10, version 1607, the pre-requisite check fails and causes the MSI to fail.
MSI packages that were generated using an App-V sequencer from previous versions of App-V (App-V versions 5.1 and earlier) include a check to validate that the App-V client is installed on client devices before allowing the MSI package to install. Now that the App-V client is installed automatically when you upgrade user devices to Windows 10, version 1607, the pre-requisite check fails and causes the MSI to fail.
**Workaround**:
1. Install the latest App-V sequencer, which is part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10, version 1607.

# About App-V Reporting
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) includes a built-in reporting feature that helps you collect information about computers running the App-V client as well as information about virtual application package usage. You can use this information to generate reports from a centralized database.

# Upgrading to App-V for Windows 10 from an existing installation
Applies to: Windows 10, version 1607
If you’re already using App-V and you’re planning to upgrade user devices to Windows 10, you need to make only the following few adjustments to your existing environment to start using App-V for Windows 10.
1. [Upgrade user devices to Windows 10](#upgrade-user-devices-to-windows-10). Performing an in-place upgrade automatically installs the App-V client and migrates users’ App-V applications and settings.
