# Perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 with MDT
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
|
||
The simplest path to upgrade PCs that are currently running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 is through an in-place upgrade. You can use a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013 Update 2 task sequence to completely automate the process.
|
||
|
||
## Proof-of-concept environment
|
||
|
||
For the purposes of this topic, we will use four machines: DC01, MDT01, and PC0001. DC01 is a domain controller and MDT01 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard machine, fully patched with the latest security updates, and configured as a member server in the fictional contoso.com domain. PC0001 is a machine with Windows 7 SP1, targeted for the Windows 10 upgrade. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](../deploy-windows-mdt/deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Figure 1. The machines used in this topic.
|
||
|
||
## Set up the upgrade task sequence
|
||
|
||
MDT adds support for Windows 10 deployment, including a new in-place upgrade task sequence template that makes the process really simple.
|
||
|
||
## Create the MDT production deployment share
|
||
|
||
The steps to create the deployment share for production are the same as when you created the deployment share to create the custom reference image:
|
||
|
||
1. On MDT01, log on as Administrator in the CONTOSO domain with a password of **P@ssw0rd**.
|
||
2. Using the Deployment Workbench, right-click **Deployment Shares** and select **New Deployment Share**.
|
||
3. On the **Path** page, in the **Deployment share path** text box, type **E:\\MDTProduction**, and then click **Next**.
|
||
4. On the **Share** page, in the **Share name** text box, type **MDTProduction$**, and then click **Next**.
|
||
5. On the **Descriptive Name** page, in the **Deployment share** description text box, type **MDT Production**, and then click **Next**.
|
||
6. On the **Options** page, accept the default settings and click **Next** twice, and then click **Finish**.
|
||
7. Using File Explorer, verify that you can access the **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$** share.
|
||
|
||
## Add Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (full source)
|
||
|
||
In these steps we assume that you have copied the content of a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 ISO to the E:\\Downloads\\Windows 10 Enterprise x64 folder.
|
||
|
||
1. Using the Deployment Workbench, expand the **Deployment Shares** node, and then expand **MDT Production**.
|
||
2. Right-click the **Operating Systems** node, and create a new folder named **Windows 10**.
|
||
3. Expand the **Operating Systems** node, right-click the **Windows 10** folder, and select **Import Operating System**. Use the following settings for the Import Operating System Wizard:
|
||
- Full set of source files
|
||
- Source directory: E:\\Downloads\\Windows 10 Enterprise x64
|
||
- Destination directory name: W10EX64RTM
|
||
4. After you add the operating system, in the **Operating Systems / Windows 10** folder, double-click the added operating system name in the **Operating System** node and change the name to the following: **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Default Image**
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Create a task sequence to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise
|
||
|
||
1. Using the Deployment Workbench, select **Task Sequences** in the **MDT Production** node, and create a folder named **Windows 10**.
|
||
2. Right-click the new **Windows 10** folder and select **New Task Sequence**. Use the following settings for the New Task Sequence Wizard:
|
||
- Task sequence ID: W10-X64-UPG
|
||
- Task sequence name: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Upgrade
|
||
- Template: Standard Client Upgrade Task Sequence
|
||
- Select OS: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM RTM Default Image
|
||
- Specify Product Key: Do not specify a product key at this time
|
||
- Full Name: Contoso
|
||
- Organization: Contoso
|
||
- Internet Explorer home page: about:blank
|
||
- Admin Password: Do not specify an Administrator Password at this time
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Perform the Windows 10 upgrade
|
||
|
||
To initiate the in-place upgrade, perform the following steps on PC0003 (currently running Windows 7 SP1).
|
||
|
||
1. Start the MDT deployment wizard by running the following command: **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\LiteTouch.vbs**
|
||
2. Select the **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Upgrade** task sequence, and then click **Next**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
3. On the **Credentials** tab, specify the **MDT\_BA** account, **P@ssw0rd** password, and **CONTOSO** for the domain. (Some or all of these values can be specified in Bootstrap.ini so they are automatically populated.)
|
||
4. On the **Ready** tab, click **Begin** to start the task sequence.
|
||
When the task sequence begins, it automatically initiates the in-place upgrade process by invoking the Windows setup program (Setup.exe) with the necessary command-line parameters to perform an automated upgrade, which preserves all data, settings, apps, and drivers.
|
||
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
After the task sequence completes, the computer will be fully upgraded to Windows 10.
