IMPORTANT:
- Resolidification of a system must be performed after you upgrade any TACC version to TACC 8.2.1 Update 3 or TACC 8.0.2 Update 1 and later. Resolidification must be performed after the upgrade is completed.
- Resolidification of a system with TACC installed must be performed after any version upgrade of the Windows operating system. Before upgrading the operating system, place the system in Update mode. After the upgrade completes, place the system back in Enabled mode.
NOTE: With TACC 8.4.0 and later, the client no longer needs to be in UPDATE mode prior to performing a Windows OS upgrade. For more details, see TACC 8.4.0 Release Notes.
- If you upgrade the operating system to Windows 10 before you upgrade TACC to 7.x or later, it prevents the Windows 10 driver from loading at startup. The Windows 7 driver is loaded instead.
