 ## FAQ 
 
 ### What is the impact of an HCX upgrade? 
 
 Apply service updates during a maintenance window where no new HCX operations and migration are queued up. The upgrade window accounts for a brief disruption to the Network Extension service, while the appliances are redeployed with the updated code.  
-For individual HCX component upgrade impact, see [Planning for HCX Updates](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/hcx/vmware-hcx/4-9/vmware-hcx-user-guide-4-9/updating-vmware-hcx/planning-for-hcx-updates.html). 
+For individual HCX component upgrade impact, see [Planning for HCX Updates](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/hcx/vmware-hcx/4-10/vmware-hcx-user-guide-4-10/updating-vmware-hcx/planning-for-hcx-updates.html). 
 
 ### Do I need to upgrade the service mesh appliances? 
 
 The HCX Service Mesh can be upgraded once all paired HCX Manager systems are updated, and all services are returned to a fully converged state. Check HCX release notes for upgrade requirements. Starting with HCX 4.4.0, HCX appliances installed the VMware Photon Operating System. When upgrading to HCX 4.4.x or later from an HCX version prior to 4.4.0 version, you must upgrade all Service Mesh appliances. 
 
 ### How do I roll back HCX upgrade using a snapshot? 
 
-See [Rolling Back an Upgrade Using Snapshots](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/hcx/vmware-hcx/4-9/vmware-hcx-user-guide-4-9/updating-vmware-hcx/hcx-service-update-procedures/rolling-back-an-upgrade-using-snapshots.html) to roll back the upgrade.
