What is Set up School PCs?
Applies to:
- Windows 10
The Set up School PCs app helps you configure new Windows 10 PCs for school use. The app, which is available for Windows 10 version 1703 and later, configures and saves school-optimized settings, apps, and policies into a single provisioning package. You can then save the package to a USB drive and distribute it to your school PCs.
If your school uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or Office 365, the Set up School PCs app will create a setup file. This file joins the PC to your Azure Active Directory tenant. The app also helps set up PCs for use with or without Internet connectivity.
