Hi All,

Did anyone test the in-place upgrade from Win 10 to Win 11 in presensec of McAfee Drive Encryption? as I already tested, and when I double checked, I found out.log value with zero.

Also I found articale for BradSexton and already included link to how to bypass but this link is not working.

Hi,

Please advise and appreciate your support

It sounds like you have a pretty niche configuration. If McAfee drive encryption is interfering with Windows in place upgrade, you may need to decrypt & remove first, or get advice from McAfee.
I donā€™t have McAfee drive encryption to mess with, Iā€™m afraid.

Hi Jason,

Kindly, I found this script:
(setup.exe /auto upgrade /quiet /ReflectDrivers ā€œ%programfiles%\McAfee\Endpoint Encryption\OSUpgradeā€)

In this script, the same steps as in the In Place folder: this script is put inside, and double-click manual on this script to run the upgrade.
so my question here is: how can put (/ReflectDrivers ā€œ%programfiles%\McAfee\Endpoint Encryption\OSUpgradeā€)

In the script that was generated by BigFix, what I am thinking is, should I put it in the advanced option and see the result?

Iā€™ve never attempted it, but if you want to try I look forward to hearing your results.

If youā€™re using the ā€˜OS Deployment and Bare Metal Imagingā€™ offering, I think you could do that with the ā€˜Additional Optionsā€™ field below:

Hi Jason,

I successfully tested the upgrade on two laptops. Itā€™s strange that it worked even though Secure Boot was not enabled. The upgrade went smoothly with the below command inserted in Additional Options:

/ReflectDrivers ā€œC:\Program Files\McAfee\Endpoint Encryption\OSUpgradeā€

I appreciate your assistance.
