This article will show you how to refresh a Windows 7 SP1 client with Windows 10 using Configuration Manager and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). A computer refresh isn't the same as an in-place upgrade. A computer refresh involves storing user data and settings from the old installation, wiping the hard drives, installing a new OS, and then restoring the user data at the end of the installation. Also see the MDT refresh procedure: [Refresh a Windows 7 computer with Windows 10](../deploy-windows-mdt/refresh-a-windows-7-computer-with-windows-10.md).

As you deploy Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC), you might need to sign catalog files or WDAC policies internally. To do this signing, you'll either need a publicly issued code signing certificate or an internal CA. If you've purchased a code-signing certificate, you can skip this article, and instead follow other articles listed in the [Windows Defender Application Control Deployment Guide](wdac-deployment-guide.md).
