Microsoft outlines steps to prepare for Dynamics GP 2026 upgrade

Microsoft plans to release a major Microsoft Dynamics GP update in October 2026, and businesses should start preparing now, according to Angela Eckman, writing on the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog.

She noted that the update is expected to include previous service packs and hot fixes, as well as product enhancements, security improvements, and other changes. When the update is released, Microsoft will provide a complete list of the changes, along with compatibility information, downloads, and instructions for installing the update.

Eckman stressed that companies should perform a test upgrade before updating their production systems. During testing, they should make sure their databases upgrade correctly and check the applications and tools they rely on, including customizations, modified forms and reports, third-party products, integrations, web services, web client, and reporting tools.
