How Did I Upgrade ConfigMgr SCCM CB 1602 to 1606
This is a 1-minute video that tells you how to start the SCCM CB 1610 upgrade process once the updates are available in the CM CB console. I have already covered the end-to-end SCCM CB upgrade process in a video here (even though that is about the CM 1606 upgrade, the process is similar).
Start the Upgrade Process from the Console

Otherwise, there could be more chances of failures during the SCCM CB console upgrade.
