 ### Prerequisites
 * **Disk space**: Datadog suggests at least 2GB for the initial Agent install and an additional 2GB for upgrading the Agent from Fleet Automation. Specifically, the upgrade requires 1.3GB in the `/opt/datadog-packages` directory on Linux, or `C:\ProgramData\Datadog\Installer\packages` on Windows. The extra space ensures that there is enough room to maintain two Agent installs temporarily during the upgrade process in case a rollback is needed.
 
+### Upgrade process
+
+Similar to a manual upgrade, expect a downtime of 5-30 seconds while the Agent restarts. The full upgrade process takes approximately 5 minutes. Around 2 minutes of this time is used for the upgrade process. The rest of the time is spent monitoring the upgrade to ensure stability and determining if a rollback is necessary. If the upgrade fails and a rollback is necessary, the Agent automatically reverts to the previously running Agent version.
+
+The upgrade process primarily adds files to the following directories:
+
+Linux:
+- `/opt/datadog-packages`
+- `/etc/datadog-agent`
+- `/etc/systemd/system`
+
+Windows:
+- `C:\ProgramData\Datadog\Installer\packages`
+- `C:\Program Files\Datadog\Datadog Agent`
+
+The Agent ensures that the appropriate permissions are set for these files. No configuration files are altered during the installation process.

 ### Upgrade precedence
 
 For the most consistent upgrade experience, Datadog recommends managing upgrades from one source at a time. Use either Fleet Automation or a configuration management tool. If you run a configuration management tool on an Agent that has already been upgraded using Fleet Automation, the upgrade reverts the Agent to the [`DD_AGENT_MINOR_VERSION`][9]  specified in your configuration. If no `DD_AGENT_MINOR_VERSION` is set, the Agent is upgraded to the latest available version.

 When a configuration file on the host conflicts with a Fleet Automation configuration, Fleet Automation takes precedence, ensuring a single source of truth. See [Configuration Order Precedence][17].
 
 ### Edit, deploy or roll back configurations
+
 From your list of configurations in the [Configure Agents][16] tab, you can
    - Deploy the unused configuration to your Agents
    - Edit the configuration, save a new version, and redeploy the updated configuration.
    - Rollback the configuration to a previous version and redeploy.

 ### Mirrors and proxies
+
 You can use Remote Agent Management along with a proxy or mirrored repositories.
 
 For instructions on configuring your Agent to use a proxy, see [Agent Proxy Configuration][6]. After you've configured the proxy, restart the Agent to apply the settings.
