Hi. I want upgrade a computer with Windows 10 to Windows 11, keeping the personal files and third-party software the users. For do this. I downloaded the InstallationAssistant for upgrade of W10 to W11. The Windows11InstallationAssistant.exe executable is a GUI program, but also this has a CLI (Command Line Interface). This command line has parameters following:

  • /Push
  • /Install
  • /SetupFile
  • /SkipSelfUpdate
  • /ReUseCatalog
  • /SkipEULA
  • /OobeUi
  • /OobeRS2Ui
  • /EosUi
  • /PostEosUi
  • /TenSUi
  • /SunValley
  • /PreventWUUpgrade
  • /SetOobeTourniquetRunningRegKey
  • /SetPriorityLow
  • /UninstallUponExit
  • /UninstallUponUpgrade
  • /ForceUninstall
  • /MinimizeToTaskBar
  • /ShowProgressInTaskBarIcon
  • /SkipCompatCheck
  • /QuietInstall
  • /NoRestartUI
  • /EnableTelemetry
  • /InstallationFolder
  • /Edition
  • /Language
    I run the follow command:
  • .\Windows11InstallationAssistant.exe /Install /SkipEULA
    This command at run it, show the assistant GUI with the EULA for that the user accept it. But this command doesn't run successfully because the user has that accept the EULA. With the /SkipEULA this shouldn't show it. This would proceed to the installation process.

How to this can solve it? And there are some site for look the parameters description and understand it? Thank you very much

    If you don't want user interaction (aka EULA) then try using the /quietinstall. That flag is designed for installs that are automated and the user doesn't need to provide any input. I haven't confirmed this works but historically MS installers have this parameter for that reason.

    Ok, thank you very much. How to I can run the program in background but without reboot automatically? The command can be?

    • .\Windows11InstallationAssistant.exe /QuietInstall /SkipEULA /NoRestartUI

    I understand that the /SkipEULA flag is not required with the /QuietInstall flag and the /NoRestartUI flag won't restart the computer to the end the process, and when the user do the restart, this will process to migrate to Windows 11.
    Also understand that the name process is Windows10UpgraderApp.

    Please someone would confirm if this is true? And please, more and less, Who much delay the process in end? How to I can look the log files? For look if the process to end sucessfully.
    If the process is not a installation. Compatibility wrong, etc. How to the process end, or this be waitting?
    Exist some documentation official about the Windows11InstallationAssistant command line?
    Thank you very much.

    Where did you come up with the available CLI options for this tool? Are you sure you aren't looking at the options available for the actual setup program of Windows? The installation assistant is for determining if you can upgrade and helping you get the pieces. If you already know the machine is compatible and just want to install Win11 then you should really just use an answer file with the Windows setup program. That is defined here.
