2. Windows 10 Deployment

3. Deployment choices Autopilot Upgrade in place Traditional
Transform new devices into work-ready from the cloud
No imaging required; lower effort and lower cost
Upgrade in place
Existing Windows 7 and 8.1 devices upgraded to Windows 10
Let Windows do all the work, automatically migrating apps, data, and settings
We now have more ways than ever to get a Windows 10 PC ready for use.
Autopilot allows an OEM windows 10 pro device to be pre-enrolled with Microsoft 365 business to allow self service deployments.
Upgrading in place maintains existing apps, data and settings.
Traditional wipe and reload approaches can be used if necessary, but would usually only be recommended if no other choice was available.

Image-based wipe-and-reload approach for moving from Windows 7 and 8.1 to Windows 10
Higher effort and cost, but necessary in some scenarios

Automatically deploy policies, profiles, and apps
AutoPilot works as part of Microsoft 365 to automatically make a device work-ready upon the first boot.
The End user only needs to provide their work credentials during the PC’s out of box experience.
This is a user driven experience, without the device necessarily having to go through the hands of IT.
After the user provides their credentials, the required policies, profiles and apps can be deployed from the cloud.

5. Upgrade choices
Manual in-place upgrades can be performed using ISO or creating installation media
More automated upgrades can be performed with tools such as the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit or your preferred deployment tool
Upgrading in place from Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro means that document and settings can be retained
Depending on the number of PCs that need to be upgraded, you could either do manual upgrades using the downloadable ISOs or you could use additional tools to help you with more devices.
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit is available as a free download, and it allows you to not only automate the update process, but you can add task sequences to automate other tasks that may need to be performed.
Upgrading in place means that users will have a better initial experience with the device configuration, because their documents, apps and settings will be maintained.

6. Wipe And Reload Deployments
Not the preferred option due to loss of installed applications and settings
Would need to be incorporated into some deployments if moving from 32 bit Windows installation to 64 installation
Not required for BIOS to UEFI conversions, this can be accomplished with MBR2GPT tool and can be part of an MDT upgrade
While wipe and reload was the preferred OS upgrade approach prior to Windows 10, changes to the upgrade process means that there are fewer scenarios where you should consider this option.
One of the key scenarios where wipe and reload would be required is when moving from a 32 bit to 64 bit installation.
Previously, switching from BIOS to UEFI, which is required to enable additional hardware security features that Windows 10 can leverage, also required a wipe and reload.
Microsoft has released an OEM agnostic tool that will perform the disk changes that are required, but you will still need to change this in the firmware of the device as well.

7. Windows Analytics Upgrade Readiness
For smaller environments, relying on the per device reports that can be generated for compatibility assessment may be a useful option, but once the device numbers start increasing this approach doesn’t scale very well.
A recommendation is to look at Windows Analytics Upgrade Readiness, which is covered in much more detail in the assessing your existing environment video, but a brief description will be provide.

Microsoft recommended upgrade workflow
Windows Analytics is a cloud based service available free of charge to Windows 10 Pro users to leverage upgrade readiness.
It helps to identiy apps, drivers and hardware inside the organization that could be problematic, and allows you to choose which machines should be upgraded first.

Report: devices readiness to deploy
We can get reports on machines that won’t upgrade, those that are ready to upgrade, and those that are still being reviewed.

Optimal order for testing apps and drivers
Guidance is also provided around determining what the focus apps and drivers should be for testing purposes, so that you can unblock large numbers of devices faster, using the large amount of telemetry data that powers this solution.

12. Thank you.
You’ve seen that there are several approaches that can be taken for deploying Windows 10
The size and complexity of the environment may require additional steps to be taken to gather the information frequired for a smooth migration.
