Hello v-janeyg-msft ,

 

One more question please, do I need to run the upgrade software only from one machine and that should upgrade the whole environmnet. Or I need to run on every machine. Thank you!

If you are running PBI RS on multiple machines (scale-out deployment), you must run upgrade process on every machine where is PBIRS installed.


I'm not sure about recommended order (I think it's not documented), but my practise is upgrade only one server alone in to last step (without restart), and after parallely upgrade all others servers. As last step is restart all servers.
