# Replace a Windows 7 computer with a Windows 10 computer
|
|
|
|
**Applies to**
|
|
- Windows 10
|
|
|
|
A computer replace scenario for Windows 10 is similar to a computer refresh for Windows 10. However, because you're replacing a device, you can't store the backup on the old computer. Instead you need to store the backup to a location where the new computer can read it. The User State Migration Tool (USMT) will be used to back up and restore data and settings.
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of this article, we'll use four computers: DC01, MDT01, PC0002, and PC0007.
|
|
- DC01 is a domain controller for the contoso.com domain.
|
|
- MDT01 is domain member server that hosts your deployment share.
|
|
- PC0002 is an old computer running Windows 7 SP1 that will be replaced by PC0007.
|
|
- PC0007 is a new computer will have the Windows 10 OS installed prior to data from PC0002 being migrated. Both PC0002 and PC0007 are members of the contoso.com domain.
|
|
|
|
For more details on the setup for this article, see [Prepare for deployment with MDT](prepare-for-windows-deployment-with-mdt.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The computers used in this article.
|
|
|
|
>HV01 is also used in this topic to host the PC0007 virtual machine for demonstration purposes, however typically PC0007 is a physical computer.
|
|
|
|
## Prepare for the computer replace
|
|
|
|
To prepare for the computer replace, you need to create a folder in which to store the backup and a backup only task sequence to run on the old computer.
|
|
|
|
### Configure the rules on the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) Production share
|
|
|
|
On **MDT01**:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the Deployment Workbench, under **Deployment Shares** right-click **MDT Production**, select **Properties**, and then select the **Rules** tab.
|
|
2. Change the **SkipUserData=YES** option to **NO**, and select **OK**.
|
|
3. Right-click on **MDT Production** and select **Update Deployment Share**. Then select **Next**, **Next**, and **Finish** to complete the Update Deployment Share Wizard with the default settings.
|
|
|
|
### Create and share the MigData folder
|
|
|
|
On **MDT01**:
|
|
|
|
1. Create and share the **D:\\MigData** folder by running the following three commands in an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
|
|
``` powershell
|
|
New-Item -Path D:\MigData -ItemType directory
|
|
New-SmbShare -Name MigData$ -Path D:\MigData -ChangeAccess EVERYONE
|
|
icacls D:\MigData /grant '"MDT_BA":(OI)(CI)(M)'
|
|
```
|
|
### Create a backup only (replace) task sequence
|
|
|
|
2. In Deployment Workbench, under the **MDT Production** deployment share, select the **Task Sequences** node and create a new folder named **Other**.
|
|
|
|
3. Right-click the **Other** folder and select **New Task Sequence**. Use the following settings for the New Task Sequence Wizard:
|
|
|
|
* Task sequence ID: REPLACE-001
|
|
* Task sequence name: Backup Only Task Sequence
|
|
* Task sequence comments: Run USMT to back up user data and settings
|
|
* Template: Standard Client Replace Task Sequence
|
|
|
|
4. In the **Other** folder, double-click **Backup Only Task Sequence**, and then in the **Task Sequence** tab, review the sequence. Notice that it only contains a subset of the normal client task sequence actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Backup Only Task Sequence action list.
|
|
|
|
## Perform the computer replace
|
|
|
|
During a computer replace, the following are the high-level steps that occur:
|
|
|
|
1. On the computer you're replacing, a special replace task sequence runs the USMT backup and, if you configured it, runs the optional full Windows Imaging (WIM) backup.
|
|
2. On the new computer, you perform a standard bare-metal deployment. At the end of the bare-metal deployment, the USMT backup from the old computer is restored.
|
|
|
|
### Run the replace task sequence
|
|
|
|
On **PC0002**:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in as **CONTOSO\\Administrator** and verify that you have write access to the **\\\\MDT01\\MigData$** share.
|
|
2. Run **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\LiteTouch.vbs**.
|
|
3. Complete the Windows Deployment Wizard using the following settings:
|
|
|
|
1. Select a task sequence to execute on this computer: Backup Only Task Sequence
|
|
* Specify where to save your data and settings: Specify a location
|
|
* Location: \\\\MDT01\\MigData$\\PC0002
|
|
|
|
>[!NOTE]
|
|
>If you are replacing the computer at a remote site you should create the MigData folder on MDT02 and use that share instead.
|
|
|
|
2. Specify where to save a complete computer backup: Don't back up the existing computer
|
|
|
|
The task sequence will now run USMT (Scanstate.exe) to capture user data and settings of the computer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new task sequence running the Capture User State action on PC0002.
|
|
|
|
4. On **MDT01**, verify that you have a USMT.MIG compressed backup file in the **D:\\MigData\\PC0002\\USMT** folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The USMT backup of PC0002.
|
|
|
|
### Deploy the replacement computer
|
|
|
|
To demonstrate deployment of the replacement computer, HV01 is used to host a virtual machine: PC0007.
|
|
|
|
On **HV01**:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a virtual machine with the following settings:
|
|
|
|
* Name: PC0007
|
|
* Location: C:\\VMs
|
|
* Generation: 2
|
|
* Memory: 2048 MB
|
|
* Hard disk: 60 GB (dynamic disk)
|
|
* Install an operating system from a network-based installation server
|
|
|
|
2. Start the PC0007 virtual machine, and press **Enter** to start the Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) boot. The VM will now load the Windows PE boot image from MDT01 (or MDT02 if at a remote site).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The initial PXE boot process of PC0007.
|
|
|
|
3. After Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) has booted, complete the Windows Deployment Wizard using the following settings:
|
|
|
|
* Select a task sequence to execute on this computer:
|
|
* Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Custom Image
|
|
* Computer Name: PC0007
|
|
* Move Data and Settings: Don't move user data and settings.
|
|
* User Data (Restore) > Specify a location: \\\\MDT01\\MigData$\\PC0002
|
|
* Applications: Adobe > Install - Adobe Reader
|
|
|
|
4. Setup now starts and does the following actions:
|
|
|
|
* Partitions and formats the disk.
|
|
* Installs the Windows 10 Enterprise operating system.
|
|
* Installs the application.
|
|
* Updates the operating system via your local Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.
|
|
* Restores the USMT backup from PC0002.
|
|
|
|
You can view progress of the process by clicking the Monitoring node in the Deployment Workbench on MDT01.
