Description

WinMagic understands that creating individual ISO and injecting SecureDoc Kernel drivers for each
Windows 10 upgrade takes a lot of time and resources. A simplified approach was developed to perform such tasks, that will follow a simpler path and eliminates the creation of a custom Windows 10 ISO and the necessary SecureDoc Kernel drivers.

Requirements:

1. This upgrade requires one of the following encryption deployments:

• Systems encrypted with SecureDoc Software Encryption or
• Microsoft BitLocker.

Note: OPAL\Self Encrypted Drives are not affected by this issue.

1. To apply this upgrade successfully, the device(s) must be running the following:

• SecureDoc Windows client package with at least version 7.1 SR4.
• Either Windows 7 or 8.x or 10, with the intent of upgrading to a Windows 10 where setup.exe file version is 10.0.14393.0 or higher.

Pre-Boot recommendation:

Since, as part of the Windows 10 update process, the device will reboot several times; it is recommended that the device should be part of a group that has the AutoBoot feature enabled. This also implies that at the time of the upgrade the device should be network connected to the corporate network in order to be able to communicate with the SES at pre-boot.

Steps to follow

1. Insert or mount the DVD/USB/ISO media containing the intended Windows 10 setup content.
2. Ignore and close the auto Windows 10 setup pop-up screen.
3. Navigate to %root drive%\Program Files\WinMagic\SecureDoc-NT and launch the application file SDWin10Update.

1. If UAC is active, acknowledge the next prompt.

1. Acknowledge the next prompts.
   

1. Ensure to select the Windows 10 version corresponding to the current OS edition.

1. Acknowledge the next screen.

1. If the like-to-like Windows 10 version was selected acknowledge the new screen.

IMPORTANT: It’s critical that during the OS update the “Keep personal files and apps” functionality is performed during the update.

1. Allow the system to complete the update.

1. The system will automatically reboot several times during the update process. SecureDoc pre-boot authentication should be performed automatically if the Pre-Boot recommendation was followed.

1. Windows 10 setup will resume the installation.

1. Once the Windows 10 update is finalized, the user will have to complete the typical Windows 10 “user experience” configuration before loading for the first time Windows 10.
