Explanation

Assigning a Windows 10 license to a user in Azure AD or Intune does not automatically trigger or enable an in-place upgrade on a device running Windows 8.1. License assignment governs entitlement, not the upgrade process itself. An in-place upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 requires physically running the Windows 10 setup.exe from within the booted Windows 8.1 OS. Simply instructing a user to sign in after license assignment does not invoke the upgrade mechanism.
