Is there any other drives / Array / logical drive for data?
I mean, is the OS and Data are on different drives?
If yes, you can reinstall

Hi Thanks for your reply. Yes data and OS are on different drives. But i wantedto keep all installed softwares (antivurs, backup soft, monitoring app, etc ...) on the OS drive, so need more kind of Os update. 

I know i can reinstall using intelligent provisionning, but is ther ea way to launch install and then update the actual system ?
