SEP 14 RU1 MP1 incompatible with Windows 10 Professional upgrade from 1703 to 1709

I am trying to upgrade our Windows 10 1703 Professional computers with SEP 14 RU1 MP1 (14.0.3892.1101) to 1709 and getting a report that Symantec Endpoint Protection isn’t compatible and must be uninstalled before upgrading (see attached screenshot). Uninstalling SEP on hundreds of computers isn’t acceptable and I need a resolution from Symantec so we can upgrade our Windows 10 computer to 1709 while leaving SEP installed.
