## Deployment
Windows 10 S mode is built for [Modern Management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/manage-windows-10-in-your-organization-modern-management) which means using [Windows Auto Pilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-10-autopilot). The best way to start using an S mode device is to embrace Modern Management fully when designing the deployment plan. Windows Auto Pilot allows you to deploy the deivce directly to the employee without having to touch the physical device. Instead of manually deploying a custom image to a machine, Windows Auto Pilot will start with a generic PC that can only be used to join the company domain; Polices are then deployed automatically through Modern Device Management.

Devices will be shipped in S mode, and you can either keep it in S mode or use Windows Autopilot to switch the device out of S mode.
## Keep line of business apps functioning with Desktop Bridge
Worried about your line of business apps not working in S mode? [Desktop Bridge](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-root) enables you to convert your line of buisness apps to a packaged app with UWP manifest. After testing and validating you can distribute the app through the Microsoft Store, making it ideal for Windows 10 in S mode.
## Repackage Win32 apps into the MSIX format
The [MSIX Packaging Tool](https:/docs.microsoft.com/windows/application-management/msix-app-packaging-tool), available from the Microsoft Store, enables you to repackage existing Win32 applications to the MSIX format. You can run your desktop installers through this tool interactively and obtain an MSIX package that you can install on your device and upload to the Microsoft Store. This is another way to get your apps ready to run on Windows 10 in S mode.
