Learn How to Perform Rapid Windows 10 Upgrade with SCCM ConfigMgr Configuration Manager

It’s a very common question what are the unique business values of Windows 10? The costs of device management, password resets, security breaches, and corporate data leaks are high.

Windows 10 will address these costs and risks directly with things like Enterprise Data Protection, Microsoft Passport, and Hardware-based isolation. Windows 10 also reduces the efforts and money spent on high deployment, end-user support, and hardware costs.
