Perform Windows 11 Edition Upgrade using SCCM | ConfigMgr
In this article, we will demonstrate how to perform Windows 11 edition upgrade using SCCM (ConfigMgr). Administrators can create a policy using edition upgrade in Configuration Manager to update the Windows 11 edition.
You can change or upgrade the edition of Windows 11 on multiple devices managed by Configuration Manager by using the policy settings. When you have multiple Windows 11 devices whose editions need to be upgraded, this is very useful and saves you time.
For example, you can use built-in policy settings to in Configuration Manager to upgrade Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Enterprise. ConfigMgr’s feature to upgrade the edition of Windows 11 was first introduced with technical preview 2307. We are confident that this feature will be included in the upcoming current branch release 2309.
Organizations that manage their devices using Configuration Manager use the edition upgrade settings to upgrade their devices running Windows Pro to Enterprise. If the devices are managed by MDM such as Intune, you can still use Intune to upgrade the edition of Windows.
In our earlier article, we showed you how to perform an edition upgrade of Windows 10 using SCCM. You must use the similar steps to change the edition of Windows 11 using Configuration Manager. It should be noted that the edition upgrade policy settings in SCCM cannot be used to downgrade the Windows 11 edition.
