Overview of Windows Autopilot

Windows Autopilot is a collection of technologies used to set up and pre-configure new devices, getting them ready for productive use. You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, re-purpose and recover devices. This solution enables an IT department to achieve the above with little to no infrastructure to manage, with a process that’s easy and simple.
  • Windows Autopilot is designed to simplify all parts of the life-cycle of Windows devices, for both IT and end users, from initial deployment through the eventual end of life.
