Upgrading IOS on 3650 from 03.03.04SE to Denali or Everest

[Ro-Lak]

Hi All,

Am hoping to upgrade our 3650 switches to a more current and up to date version (looks like nobody has bothered to do this yet), reading about the different options am hoping to go for Everest. But am reading some of these version are very buggy. 

Deferred Release - to Denali - 16.3.7 (MD) - any issues - cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.03.07.SPA.bin

Deferred Release - Everest-16.6.4a MD - any issues CAT3850/3650 UNIVERSAL cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.04a.SPA.bin

Are you able to share your experiences on either version, or any recommended version

Kind Regards

is the still 5star version.
