Just a short piece to say: don’t do it!

I just re-imaged a machine after fighting for 3 days to do it. I know you can upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0 with a bit of a windy road, but it is impossible to go straight from 3.4 to 4.2

I recommend (in valid order for my situation):

1. Start over with a fresh 4.2 image
2. Go from 3.4 to 4.0, then 4.0 to 4.2
3. Stay in the 3 range, until you can do the first recommendation

Just my 2 cents.
