Ultimately, when your Upgrade Deadline is reached, the update will run the next time your device powers up while it is connected to a Michigan Medicine network or via VPN.

The mode of your computer will determine which upgrade instructions you need to follow. Use this article to find your Classic-CoreImage device's mode. Intune-CoreImage devices behave like Standard mode Classic-CoreImage devices.

Scenario D: Upgrade After Deadline

Step 1: Receive the "Downloading and installing software" notification.

• You will receive this notification once the deadline has passed.
• Clicking on "Click to view progress" will automatically open to Software Center to show the upgrade status.

Step 2: Receive computer restart notification.

• You can continue to select Snooze until the final notification (Step 3). 

Step 3: Receive final notification and start upgrade.

• The notification informs you that you'll be signed out and your computer will restart at the time noted.

• Snooze is no longer an option and will be greyed out.
• Clicking on Restart will start the process now or you can wait until the countdown on the screen completes.
  
  • Make sure to save any documents you have open before the machine shuts down.

Step 4: Receive notification for restart. 

• The notification informs you that you'll be signed out of Windows and your computer will shut down.
• Click on Close and make sure to save any work before the machine shuts down.
• The first part of the Windows 11 upgrade will take a long and variable amount of time in the background, possibly up to two hours.  During this "online" portion of the upgrade, you can continue to use the device.  However, a reboot is needed to complete the upgrade.  Once the device reboots, it goes into the "offline" portion of the upgrade which may take as little as 20 minutes or possibly longer than 80 minutes, depending on the age and performance of the device.

Step 5: Confirm that your upgrade was successful.
