      I went ahead and rebooted the system as that was the only option but not i get to the grub menu.

        You could have use right key+Alt to get to another console to see the error logs. Anyway, I would restore the previous version by inserting the ISO again and rollback to 8.2

          @olivierlambert I can use the 8.3 ISO to reload 8.2 ?

            Yes, that's the whole point, during the first menus, you should be asked about Upgrade or restore previous version.

                  2 times the charm 😆

                  I have no idea why it failed initially, but at least you tested the magic rollback 😎 As you can see, it's really a GREAT feature 😆
