Windows Autopilot

Unbox. Log In. Take Off.

Windows Autopilot lets you quickly and easily set up your Windows devices in minutes with just a few simple clicks.

Windows Autopilot is a collection of technologies used to set up and pre-configure new devices, getting them ready for productive use.

Windows Autopilot can be used to deploy Windows PCs or HoloLens 2 devices

You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, repurpose, and recover devices. This solution enables an IT department to achieve the above with little to no infrastructure to manage, with a process that's easy and simple.

Windows Autopilot simplifies the Windows device lifecycle, for both IT and end users, from initial deployment to end of life. Using cloud-based services, Windows Autopilot:

• Reduces the time IT spends on deploying, managing, and retiring devices.

• Reduces the infrastructure required to maintain the devices.

• Maximizes ease of use for all types of end users.

Process Overview

When initially deploying new Windows devices, Windows Autopilot uses the OEM-optimized version of Windows 10.

This version is preinstalled on the device, so you don't have to maintain custom images and drivers for every device model.

Instead of re-imaging the device, your existing Windows 10 installation can be transformed into a “business-ready” state that can:

• Apply settings and policies

• Install apps

• Change the edition of Windows 10 being used (for example, from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise) to support advanced features.

Once deployed, you can manage Windows 10 devices with:

• • Microsoft Intune

  • Windows Update for Business

  • Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager

  • Other similar tools

Windows Autopilot enables you to:

• • Automatically join devices to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or Active Directory (via Hybrid Azure AD Join).

  • Auto-enroll devices into MDM services, such as Microsoft Intune (Requires an Azure AD Premium subscription for configuration).

  • Restrict the Administrator account creation.

  • Create and auto-assign devices to configuration groups based on a device's profile.

  • Customize OOBE content specific to the organization.
