Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing great. I'm currently working as the endpoint manager at my company, and I'm looking to update our PCs from Windows 11 24H2 to the new 25H2 version. I downloaded the 25H2 through MECM and set it up on a server, then deployed it to two PCs for testing. However, those PCs aren't showing up in the software center. I could really use some guidance on what to do next. Thanks in advance!

Upgrading with SCCM can be a bit tricky, but don’t worry, I've got your back! First off, I recommend checking out this detailed video from PatchMyPC. It’s about an hour long, but full of useful information to help you manage the deployment process effectively. Manual packaging and deploying the enablement package is usually more hassle than it's worth. Let SCCM handle it for you, and it'll decide if the package is relevant to the client when deploying.
What exactly did you download for the upgrade? I wouldn't suggest randomly picking MSU files from various sites, but if you're looking for something reliable, you could use the Enablement Package from Pureinfotech. It’s a small file (about 150kb) that packs a punch and usually works well. Consider wrapping it up as a Package and using PSAppDeploy to push it out easily.
Haha, got it! I downloaded the necessary files from the article I mentioned earlier. I went through the SCCM console to get the feature updates. Maybe I need to double-check what I selected.
Don’t forget to check the content distribution status occasionally, along with your boundary groups and deployment collections. It might also help to trigger a client policy refresh to ensure everything is up to date.
Thanks for the reminder! I did try that, but unfortunately, it still didn't work.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into the video. I previously followed an article on upgrading, and I thought that was clear, but maybe the video will help more.
