# Windows Autopilot and Surface devices # Windows Autopilot and Surface devices
Windows Autopilot is a cloud-based deployment technology in Windows 10. You can use Windows Autopilot to remotely deploy and configure devices in a zero-touch process right out of the box. Windows Autopilot-registered devices are identified over the Internet at first startup through a unique device signature that's called a *hardware hash*. Device are automatically enrolled and configured by using modern management solutions such as Azure Active Directory (AAD) and mobile device management. Windows Autopilot is a cloud-based deployment technology in Windows 10. You can use Windows Autopilot to remotely deploy and configure devices in a zero-touch process right out of the box.
With Surface, you can choose to register your devices at the time of purchase from a Surface partner that's enabled for Windows Autopilot. New devices can be shipped directly to your end-users. The devices will be automatically enrolled and configured when they are unboxed and turned on for the first time. This process eliminates the need to reimage devices as part of deployment, which which allows you to implement new, agile methods for device management and distribution.

For the best experience, enroll your Surface devices with the assistance of a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider. That method allows you to manage UEFI firmware settings on Surface devices directly from Intune, eliminating the need to physically touch devices for certificate management. For more information, see [Intune management of Surface UEFI settings](surface-manage-dfci-guide.md).
