guys, are you sure is it able to run an In Place Upgrade from PXE? I guess the answer is NO. This procedure may be right if you run the setup.exe from network share directly from OS rather than PXE.

Exactly, the crux here is starting from PXE

It's starting from Windows PE (WinPE), not PXE. Doesn't that change the answer to Yes?

YES You can do it booting the computer from WinPE O.S. and from the command prompt running the windows exe file on the shared resourse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itNNACsk5nY

It's No - the only way to do an in-place upgrade from 8.1 to 10 is by running setup.exe from the booted 8.1 client. You cannot do it in a preboot environment (even if you are selecting setup.exe from a network share).

Answer is correct silly to run setup.exe from WinPE and Microsoft doesn't support running it even from a network share (which technically would work when you run it from the Windows 8.1 Windows environment). This question was also in MD-100

daye and cbjorn8931 is right. Can't do it from PE or PXE. Run the setup.exe from the OS. Answer is No.

Correct! You can’t run in-place upgrade through PXE or PE environment. Windows PE is used for system restore and troubleshooting the pc for boot errors and etc. There are no options for in place upgrade.
