Searching for Autodesk Bulk Update of Inventor files

I have a large amount of Autodesk Inventor files (dwg,ipt,iam) which was build in Inventor 2018 version. Is there any automated tool to update all the file into Inventor 2022 with bulk mode.
can you share any power shell code or any Bulk update tool? I want to update the reference file location of those file.
Thanks.

Task Scheduler -> File Migration.

I didn't clear about the solutions.
As per my understanding, you suggest me to create a task scheduler job about File migration in windows?
But I have Inventor File which version is updated when I open it Inventor application & saved it. How to do it with windows? because when I open it with Inventor app, there are lots of unresolved link is showed which need to skip.

Hi!

So, the problem is not the migration, but the links broken.

Links are missing, probably because you're not activating the correct project file, or are missing the Content Center parts, right?

Check if you have a project file for that work, and if not, create one in the main folder and activate it.
If there's a problem with Content Center parts, you have to find a way to recreate the content center. (we can solve this, if it's the case).

When opening and save each file parts, it will migrate, but only the file opened. If you use the Task Scheduler, it will migrate all the files linked.
I suggest to create project files to help Inventor understand where are all the parts of the model and use the project file to migrate all project elements at once.
