- Deploy to all devices in the organization.
- Work through any final unusual issues that weren't detected in your Limited ring.
## Ring deployment planning
Previously, we have provided methods for analyzing your deployments, but these have been standalone tools to assess, manage and execute deployments. In other words, you would generate an analysis, make a deployment strategy, and then move to your console for implementation, repeating these steps for each deployment. We've combined many of these tasks, and more, into a single interface with Desktop Analytics.
[Desktop Analytics](/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/overview) is a cloud-based service and a key tool in [Configuration Manager](/mem/configmgr/core/understand/microsoft-endpoint-manager-faq). Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Desktop Analytics is a powerful tool to give you insights and intelligence to
make informed decisions about the readiness of your Windows devices.
In Windows client deployments, we have seen compatibility issues on < 0.5% of apps when using Desktop Analytics. Using Desktop Analytics with Configuration Manager can help you assess app compatibility with the latest
feature update. You can create groups that represent the broadest number of hardware and software configurations on the smallest set of devices across your organization. In addition, Desktop Analytics can provide you with a device and software inventory and identify issues, giving you data that equate to actionable decisions.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Desktop Analytics does not support preview (Windows Insider) builds; use Configuration Manager to deploy to your Preview ring. As noted previously, the Preview ring is a small group of devices represents your ecosystem very well in terms of app, driver, and hardware diversity.
### Deployment plan options
There are two ways to implement a ring deployment plan, depending on how you manage your devices:
- If you're using Configuration Manager: Desktop Analytics provides end-to-end deployment plan integration so that you can also kick off phased deployments within a ring. Learn more about [deployment plans in Desktop Analytics](/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/about-deployment-plans).
- If you're using Microsoft Intune, see [Create deployment plans directly in Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/planning-guide).
For more about Desktop Analytics, see these articles:

@ -63,15 +63,3 @@ There is more than one way to choose devices for app validation:
- **Existing pilot devices**: You might already have a list of devices that you regularly use for testing updates as part of release cycles.
- **Manual selection**: Some internal groups like operations will have expertise to help choose devices manually based on specifications, usage, or records of past support problems.
- **Data-driven analysis**: With appropriate tools, you can use diagnostic data from devices to inform your choices.
### Desktop Analytics
Desktop Analytics can make all of the tasks discussed in this article significantly easier:
- Creating and maintaining an application and device inventory
- Assign owners to applications for testing
- Automatically apply your app classifications (critical, important, not important)
- Automatically identify application compatibility risks and provide recommendations for reducing those risks

### Address unhealthy devices
In the course of surveying your device population, either with Desktop Analytics or by some other means, you might find devices that have systemic problems that could interfere with update installation. Now is the time to fix those problems.

- **Low disk space:** Quality updates require a minimum of 2 GB to successfully install. Feature updates require between 8 GB and 15 GB depending upon the configuration. On Windows 10, version 1903 and later (and Windows 11) you can proactively use the "reserved storage" feature (for wipe and loads, rebuilds, and new builds) to avoid running out of disk space. If you find a group of devices that don't have enough disk space, you can often resolve the problem by cleaning up log files and asking users to clean up data if necessary. A good place to start is to delete the following files:

- **Application and driver updates:** Out-of-date app or driver software can prevent devices from updating successfully. Desktop Analytics will help you identify drivers and applications that need attention. You can also check for known issues in order to take any appropriate action. Deploy any updates from the vendor(s) for any problematic application or driver versions to resolve issues.

- **Corruption:** In rare circumstances, a device that has repeated installation errors might be corrupted in a way that prevents the system from applying a new update. You might have to repair the Component-Based Store from another source.

### Application compatibility
Application compatibility testing has historically been a burden when approaching a Windows deployment or upgrade. Application compatibility from the perspective of desktop applications, websites, and apps built on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) has improved tremendously over older versions of Windows.
For the most important business-critical applications, organizations should still perform testing on a regular basis to validate compatibility with new builds. For remaining applications, consider validating them as part of a pilot deployment process to reduce the time spent on compatibility testing. Desktop Analytics is a cloud-based service that integrates with Configuration Manager. The service provides insight and intelligence for you to make more informed decisions about the update readiness of your Windows endpoints, including assessment of your existing applications. For more, see [Ready for modern desktop retirement FAQ](/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/ready-for-windows).
