## Application compatibility
Windows 10 upgrades have proven to be highly compatible, and that does not change with Windows Sun Valley. Our compatibility promise for Windows 10 is that upgrades will maintain compatibility with apps written for previously released versions. Windows Sun Valley comes with the same App Assure promise and commitment that you have known with Windows 10. Data from the App Assure program shows that Windows 10 compatibility rates are over 99.7% for our enterprise customers, including line of business apps. This great progress will not be lost. Windows Sun Valley has been subjected to, and is passing the same app compatibility validation requirements, that are in place for Windows 10 feature and quality update releases today.

#### App Assure and Test Base
You might already be using App Assure and Test Base in your Windows 10 environment. Both of these tools will continue to function with Windows Sun Valley. With enrollment in the App Assure service, if you find any problems with an existing application as you migrate to Windows Sun Valley, Microsoft will help you remedy application issues at no cost. Since 2018, App Assure has evaluated almost 800,000 apps, and subscriptions are free for eligible customers with 150+ seats.

If you’ve created your own applications, Test Base for Microsoft is a service that allows independent software vendors and commercial customers to validate their apps across a variety of updates and environments in a Microsoft managed Azure environment. Both services can be of benefit to you as you roll out Windows Sun Valley into your environment.

Windows 10 and Windows Sun Valley are designed to coexist, so that you can use the same familiar tools and process to manage both operating systems. One common management infrastructure that supports common applications across both Windows 10 and Windows Sun Valley helps to simplify the migration process. You can analyze endpoints, determine application compatibility, and manage Windows Sun Valley deployments in the same way that you do with Windows 10.
Organizations will vary in their pace relative to transitioning from Windows 10 to SV, and we expect early corporate adoptions to consist of smaller test environments before rolling out to wider groups begins. We are committed to supporting you through your migration to Windows Sun Valley whether you are a fast adopter, or will make the transition over the coming months or years.
As you prepare for Windows Sun Valley, it’s also a good time to look at the deployment infrastructure of your environment. If you aren’t already taking advantage of cloud-based management tools like Microsoft Endpoint Manager this might be the perfect time. Or, if you are exclusively using an on-premises management tool such as Configuration Manager (Note: Config Mgr is part of MEM, need clarification here), using Cloud management gateway, enabling tenant attach, or enabling co-management with Microsoft Intune are all ways to help keep devices secure and up-to-date. ---insert links for the named solutions
With the new Windows Sun Valley experience, hybrid environments of both operating systems running simultaneously will be the norm. Windows 10 and Windows Sun Valley are designed to co-exist during this time, so that you can use the same familiar tools and process to manage them, as well as continue to give your users the best Microsoft 365 experience. You’ll have one common management infrastructure, and support for common applications across both Windows 10 and Windows Sun Valley to simplify the migration process. You’ll use the IT Pro tools that you are familiar with and have been using in the past to prepare for deployments also work in Windows Sun Valley; you can analyze endpoints, determine application compatibility, and manage deployments in the same way you did with Windows 10.

Additionally, policies related to deployment may need to be updated or re-evaluated respective of update compliance deadlines, device activity policies, and the re-evaluation of older policies. A servicing mindset pointed at keeping current means that, as with Windows 10 devices, you will create a deployment plan in order to build out your servicing strategy.
