Win7 to Win10 1803/1809 in-place upgrade Task Sequence breaks with no apparent error code

Hi,

 

We’re migrating from Win7SP1 to Win10 Ent. 1803/1809 in our corporate environment. Strange thing noticed is migration TS always breaks on Latitude E7470 after ‘Upgrade Operating System’ task. Other models (E7440, E7450, E6440, O7010, O9020, T7910, etc.) don't have such issue at large. Almost 50 nos. of E7470 is tried and all of them got the same issue. Currently migration on this particular model is on hold. Didn’t see anyone mentioning the same issue anywhere.

 

TS screenshot as well as last few lines from smsts.log is copied below. As you can see there is no error reported by the task. But a reboot is initiated somehow, which breaks Task Sequence and then it doesn’t go further. In general, what are the reasons why such error occur?!

      ITOpsReborn Old school method didn't help either. All trials seems to have been exhausted to find the root cause. Following are already tried;

      • Used latest OSD enterprise driver package from Dell
      • Used the method you suggested to create driver package
      • Did update software & drivers to latest prior to in-place upgrade together with both of above points

      It must be one of the drivers. Only solution left is to create a post upgrade task sequence for this particular model.

      ITOpsRebornYup, I thought of that. One of the driver is forcing this unplanned restart. I'll give this old school method a try and let you know the result.

       

      Thanks.
