From the start, Windows To Go was designed to minimize differences between the user experience of working on a laptop and Windows To Go booted from a USB drive. Given that Windows To Go was designed as an enterprise solution, extra consideration was given to the deployment workflows that enterprises already have in place. Additionally, there has been a focus on minimizing the number of differences in deployment between Windows To Go workspaces and laptop PCs.

# Windows 10 compatibility
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
Windows 10 will be compatible with most existing PC hardware; most devices running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 will meet the requirements for Windows 10.
For full system requirements, see [Windows 10 specifications](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625077). Some driver updates may be required for Windows 10.
Existing desktop (Win32) application compatibility is also expected to be strong, with most existing applications working without any changes. Some applications that interface with Windows at a low level, those that use undocumented APIs, or those that do not follow recommended coding practices could experience issues.
Existing Windows Store (WinRT) apps created for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 should also continue to work, because compatibility can be validated against all the apps that have been submitted to the Windows Store.
For web apps and sites, modern HTML5-based sites should also have a high degree of compatibility and excellent performance through the new Microsoft Edge browser, while older web apps and sites can continue to use Internet Explorer 11 and the Enterprise Mode features that were first introduced in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and are still present in Windows 10. For more information about Internet Explorer and Enterprise Mode, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Deployment Guide for IT Pros.](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=734031)
## Recommended application testing process
Historically, organizations have performed extensive, and often exhaustive, testing of the applications they use before deployment of a new Windows version, service pack, or any other significant update. With Windows 10, organizations are encouraged to leverage more optimized testing processes, which reflects the higher levels of compatibility that are expected. At a high level:
- Identify mission-critical applications and websites, those that are absolutely essential to the organization’s operations. Focus testing efforts on this subset of applications, early in the Windows development cycle (for example, with Windows Insider Program builds) to identify potential issues. Report any issues you encounter with the Windows Feedback tool, so that these issues can be addressed prior to the next Windows release.
- For less critical applications, leverage an “internal flighting” or pilot-based approach, by deploying new Windows upgrades to groups of machines, growing gradually in size and potential impact, to verify compatibility with hardware and software. Reactively address issues before you expand the pilot to more machines.

# Windows 10 deployment considerations
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
There are new deployment options in Windows 10 that help you simplify the deployment process and automate migration of existing settings and applications.
For many years, organizations have deployed new versions of Windows using a “wipe and load” deployment process. At a high level, this process captures existing data and settings from the existing device, deploys a new custom-built Windows image to a PC, injects hardware drivers, reinstalls applications, and finally restores the data and settings. With Windows 10, this process is still fully supported, and for some deployment scenarios is still necessary.
Windows 10 also introduces two additional scenarios that organizations should consider:
- **In-place upgrade**, which provides a simple, automated process that leverages the Windows setup process to automatically upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This process automatically migrates existing data, settings, drivers, and applications.
- **Dynamic provisioning**, which enables organizations to configure new Windows 10 devices for organization use without having to deploy a new custom organization image to the device.
Both of these scenarios eliminate the image creation process altogether, which can greatly simplify the deployment process.
So how do you choose? At a high level:

## Migration from previous Windows versions
For existing PCs running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, in-place upgrade is the recommended method for Windows 10 deployment and should be used whenever possible. Although wipe-and-load (OS refresh) deployments are still fully supported (and necessary in some scenarios, as mentioned previously), in-place upgrade is simpler and faster, and enables a faster Windows 10 deployment overall.
Note that the original Windows 8 release is only supported until January 2016. Organizations that do not think they can complete a full Windows 10 migration by that date should deploy Windows 8.1 now and consider Windows 10 after Windows 8 has been removed from the environment.
For existing Windows PCs running Windows Vista, you can perform wipe-and-load (OS refresh) deployments when you use compatible hardware.
Note that to take advantage of the limited-time free upgrade offer for PCs running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, you must leverage an in-place upgrade, either from Windows Update or by using the upgrade media available from the [Windows 10 software download page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625073) to acquire a new Windows 10 license from the Windows Store. For more information, refer to the [Windows 10 FAQ](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625074).
For organizations with Software Assurance for Windows, both in-place upgrade or wipe-and-load can be leveraged (with in-place upgrade being the preferred method, as previously discussed).
For organizations that do not take advantage of the free upgrade offer and are not enrolled in Software Assurance for Windows, Windows 10 upgrade licenses are available for purchase through existing Volume License (VL) agreements.
## Setup of new computers
For new computers acquired with Windows 10 preinstalled, you can leverage dynamic provisioning scenarios to transform the device from its initial state into a fully-configured organization PC. There are two primary dynamic provisioning scenarios you can use:
- **User-driven, from the cloud.** By joining a device into Azure Active Directory and leveraging the automatic mobile device management (MDM) provisioning capabilities at the same time, an end user can initiate the provisioning process themselves just by entering the Azure Active Directory account and password (called their “work or school account” within Windows 10). The MDM service can then transform the device into a fully-configured organization PC. For more information, see [Azure Active Directory integration with MDM](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625075).
- **IT admin-driven, using new tools.** Using the new Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) tool, IT administrators can create provisioning packages that can be applied to a computer to transform it into a fully-configured organization PC. For more information, see [Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625076).
In either of these scenarios, you can make a variety of configuration changes to the PC:
- Transform the edition (SKU) of Windows 10 that is in use.
- Apply configuration and settings to the device (for example, security settings, device restrictions, policies, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, certificates, and so on).
- Install apps, language packs, and updates.
- Enroll the device in a management solution (applicable for IT admin-driven scenarios, configuring the device just enough to allow the management tool to take over configuration and ongoing management).
## Stay up to date
For computers already running Windows 10 on the Semi-Annual Channel, new upgrades will periodically be deployed, approximately two to three times per year. You can deploy these upgrades by using a variety of methods:
- Windows Update or Windows Update for Business, for devices where you want to receive updates directly from the Internet.
- Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), for devices configured to pull updates from internal servers after they are approved (deploying like an update). Note that this will require updates to WSUS, which are only available for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2, not previous versions.
- System Center Configuration Manager task sequences (with Configuration Manager 2012, 2012 R2, and later versions).
- System Center Configuration Manager vNext software update capabilities (deploying like an update).
Note that these upgrades (which are installed differently than monthly updates) will leverage an in-place upgrade process. Unlike updates, which are relatively small, these upgrades will include a full operating system image (around 3 GB for 64-bit operating systems), which requires time (1-2 hours) and disk space (approximately 10 GB) to complete. Ensure that the deployment method you use can support the required network bandwidth and/or disk space requirements.
Over time, this upgrade process will be optimized to reduce the overall time and network bandwidth consumed.

# Features removed or planned for replacement starting with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709)
> Applies to: Windows 10, version 1709
Each release of Windows 10 adds new features and functionality; we also occasionally remove features and functionality, usually because we've added a better option. Read on for details about the features and functionalities that we removed in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709). This list also includes information about features and functionality that we're considering removing in a future release of Windows 10. This list is intended to make you aware of current and future changes and inform your planning. **The list is subject to change and might not include every affected feature or functionality.**
## Features removed from Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
We've removed the following features and functionalities from the installed product image in Windows 10, version 1709. Applications, code, or usage that depend on these features won't function in this release unless you employ an alternate method.
### 3D Builder
No longer installed by default, [3D Builder](https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/3d-builder/9wzdncrfj3t6) is still available for download from the Microsoft Store. You can also consider using Print 3D and Paint 3D in its place.
### APN database (Apndatabase.xml)
Replaced by the Country and Operator Settings Asset (COSA) database. For more information, see the following Hardware Dev Center articles:
- [Planning your COSA/APN database submission](/windows-hardware/drivers/mobilebroadband/planning-your-apn-database-submission)
- [COSA – FAQ](/windows-hardware/drivers/mobilebroadband/cosa---faq)
### Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET)
Removed from the image, and you're blocked from using it. Consider using the [Exploit Protection feature](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/exploit-protection) as a replacement. See the [Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16232 for PC + Build 15228 for Mobile](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/06/28/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-16232-pc-build-15228-mobile/) for details.
### Outlook Express
Removed this non-functional code.
### Reader app
Integrated the Reader functionality into Microsoft Edge.
### Reading list
Integrated the Reading list functionality into Microsoft Edge.
### Resilient File System (ReFS)
We changed the way that ReFS works, based on the edition of Windows 10 you have. We didn't **remove** ReFS, but how you can use ReFS depends on your edition.
If you have Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Pro for Workstations: You can create, read, and write volumes.
If you have any other edition of Windows 10: You can read and write volumes, but you can't create volumes. If you need to create volumes, upgrade to the Enterprise or Pro for Workstations edition.
### Syskey.exe
Removed this security feature. Instead, we recommend using [BitLocker](/device-security/bitlocker/bitlocker-overview). For more information, see [4025993 Syskey.exe utility is no longer supported in Windows 10 RS3 and Windows Server 2016 RS3](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4025993/syskey-exe-utility-is-no-longer-supported-in-windows-10-rs3-and-window).
### TCP Offload Engine
Removed this code. The TCP Offload Engine functionality is now available in the Stack TCP Engine. For more information, see [Why Are We Deprecating Network Performance Features (KB4014193)?](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2017/06/13/why-are-we-deprecating-network-performance-features-kb4014193/)
### TPM Owner Password Management
Removed this code.
## Features being considered for replacement starting after Windows Fall Creators Update
We are considering removing the following features and functionalities from the installed product image, starting with releases after Windows 10, version 1709. Eventually, we might completely remove them and replace them with other features or functionality (or, in some instances, make them available from different sources). These features and functionalities are *still available* in this release, but **you should begin planning now to either use alternate methods or to replace any applications, code, or usage that depend on these features.**
If you have feedback to share about the proposed replacement of any of these features, you can use the [Feedback Hub app](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4021566/windows-10-send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-feedback-hub-app).
### IIS 6 Management Compatibility
We're considering replacing the following specific DISM features:
- IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility (Web-Metabase)
- IIS 6 Management Console (Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console)
- IIS 6 Scripting Tools (Web-Lgcy-Scripting)
- IIS 6 WMI Compatibility (Web-WMI)
Instead of IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility (which acts as an emulation layer between IIS 6-based metabase scripts and the file-based configuration used by IIS 7 or newer versions) you should start migrating management scripts to target IIS file-based configuration directly, by using tools such as the Microsoft.Web.Administration namespace.
You should also start migration from IIS 6.0 or earlier versions, and move to the [latest version of IIS](/iis/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-10/new-features-introduced-in-iis-10).
### IIS Digest Authentication
We're considering removing the IIS Digest Authentication method. Instead, you should start using other authentication methods, such as [Client Certificate Mapping](/iis/manage/configuring-security/configuring-one-to-one-client-certificate-mappings) or [Windows Authentication](/iis/configuration/system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication/).
### Microsoft Paint
We're considering removing MS Paint from the basic installed product image - that means it won't be installed by default. **You'll still be able to get the app separately from the [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/store/b/home) for free.** Alternately, you can get [Paint 3D](https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/paint-3d/9nblggh5fv99) and [3D Builder](https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/3d-builder/9wzdncrfj3t6) from the Microsoft Store today; both of these offer the same functionality as Microsoft Paint, plus additional features.
### RSA/AES Encryption for IIS
We're considering removing RSA/AES encryption because the superior [Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/bb931354(v=vs.85).aspx) method is already available.
### Sync your settings
We're considering making changes to the back-end storage that will affect the sync process: [Enterprise State Roaming](/azure/active-directory/active-directory-windows-enterprise-state-roaming-overview) and all other users will use a single cloud storage system. Both the "Sync your settings" options and the Enterprise State Roaming feature will continue to work.

## High-level requirements
For initial Windows 10 deployments, as well as subsequent Windows 10 upgrades, ensure that sufficient disk space is available for distribution of the Windows 10 installation files (about 3 GB for Windows 10 x64 images, slightly smaller for x86). Also, be sure to take into account the network impact of moving these large images to each PC; you may need to leverage local server storage.
For persistent VDI environments, carefully consider the I/O impact from upgrading large numbers of PCs in a short period of time. Ensure that upgrades are performed in smaller numbers, or during off-peak time periods. (For pooled VDI environments, a better approach is to replace the base image with a new version.)
## Deployment tools
A new version of the Assessment and Deployment Toolkit (ADK) has been released to support Windows 10. This new version, available for download [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740), is required for Windows 10; you should not use earlier versions of the ADK to deploy Windows 10. It also supports the deployment of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
The latest version of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit (ADK) is available for download [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install).
Significant enhancements in the ADK for Windows 10 include new runtime provisioning capabilities, which leverage the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (Windows ICD), as well as updated versions of existing deployment tools (DISM, USMT, Windows PE, and more).
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013 Update 1, available for download [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625079), has also been updated to support Windows 10 and the new ADK; older versions do not support Windows 10. New in this release is task sequence support for Windows 10 in-place upgrades.
The latest version of the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is available for download [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/mdt/release-notes).
For System Center Configuration Manager, Windows 10 support is offered with various releases:
| Release | Windows 10 management? | Windows 10 deployment? |
|---------------------------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| System Center Configuration Manager 2007 | Yes, with a hotfix | No |
| System Center Configuration Manager 2012 | Yes, with SP2 and CU1 | Yes, with SP2, CU1, and the ADK for Windows 10 |
| System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 | Yes, with SP1 and CU1 | Yes, with SP1, CU1, and the ADK for Windows 10 |
> [!NOTE]
> Configuration Manager 2012 supports Windows 10 version 1507 (build 10.0.10240) and 1511 (build 10.0.10586) for the lifecycle of these builds. Future releases of Windows 10 CB/CBB are not supported With Configuration Manager 2012, and will require Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current branch for supported management.
 
For Configuration Manager, Windows 10 version specific support is offered with [various releases](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/configs/support-for-windows-10).
For more details about Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager support for Windows 10, see [Prepare for Zero Touch Installation of Windows 10 with Configuration Manager](../deploy-windows-cm/prepare-for-zero-touch-installation-of-windows-10-with-configuration-manager.md).
## Management tools
In addition to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Windows 10 also leverages other tools for management. For Windows Server and Active Directory, existing supported versions are fully supported for Windows 10. New Group Policy templates will be needed to configure new settings available in Windows 10; these templates are available in the Windows 10 media images, and are available as a separate download [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625081). See [Group Policy settings reference](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625082) for a list of the new and modified policy settings. If you are using a central policy store, follow the steps outlined [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625083) to update the ADMX files stored in that central store.
No new Active Directory schema updates or specific functional levels are currently required for core Windows 10 product functionality, although subsequent upgrades could require these to support new features.

Because Windows 10 updates are cumulative in nature, each month’s new update will supersede the previous month's. Consider leveraging “express installation” packages to reduce the size of the payload that needs to be sent to each PC each month; see [Express installation files](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625086) for more information. (Note that this will increase the amount of disk storage needed by WSUS, and impacts all operating systems being managed with WSUS.)
## Activation
Windows 10 volume license editions of Windows 10 will continue to support all existing activation methods (KMS, MAK, and AD-based activation). An update will be required for existing KMS servers:

Also see: [Windows Server 2016 Volume Activation Tips](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2016/10/19/windows-server-2016-volume-activation-tips/)
Additionally, new product keys will be needed for all types of volume license activation (KMS, MAK, and AD-based Activation); these keys are available on the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) for customers with rights to the Windows 10 operating system. To find the needed keys:
- Sign into the [Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=625088) at with a Microsoft account that has appropriate rights.
- For KMS keys, click **Licenses** and then select **Relationship Summary**. Click the appropriate active license ID, and then select **Product Keys** near the right side of the page. For KMS running on Windows Server, find the **Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10** product key; for KMS running on client operating systems, find the **Windows 10** product key.
- For MAK keys, click **Downloads and Keys**, and then filter the list by using **Windows 10** as a product. Click the **Key** link next to an appropriate list entry (for example, **Windows 10 Enterprise** or **Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB**) to view the available MAK keys. (You can also find keys for KMS running on Windows 10 in this list. These keys will not work on Windows servers running KMS.)
Note that Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB installations use different MAK keys. But you can use the same KMS server or Active Directory-based activation environment for both; the KMS keys obtained from the Volume Licensing Service Center will work with both.
Note that Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC installations use different MAK keys. But you can use the same KMS server or Active Directory-based activation environment for both; the KMS keys obtained from the Volume Licensing Service Center will work with both.
