Tip of the Day: Creators Update Media on VLSC and Other Valuable Information

Today’s Tip…

Windows 10, version 1703 will be available for download from the Volume Licensing Service Center (for Volume License customers) on May 1st.

Here’s another great article with a lot of information. Here are a few things that I found particularly valuable:

  • Windows Configuration Designer (f.k.a. Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)) is now available in the Windows Store as an app
    • Making it easier to create provisioning packages for specific scenarios: desktop, mobile, kiosk, etc.…
    • Now has the option to remove pre-installed software in both desktop and kiosk wizards
    • Now possible to create provisioning packages to bulk enroll devices in Azure Active Directory, with the option o then enroll those devices in a mobile device management (MDM) solution
  • MBR2GPTEXE – command line tool to convert a disk from a Master Boot Record (MBR) to a GUID Partition Table (GPT)
    • Why is this cool? Think about automating the conversion from BIOS to UEFI.
  • Cool additions for RegEdit: an address bar, keyboard shortcuts, and abbreviations!

There are sections that answer:

  • How, and when, can I obtain Windows 10, version 1703?
  • What if I haven’t deployed Windows 10 in my organization?
  • Where can I provide feedback on Windows 10?

But that’s only a small portion of the information provided in this article. Check it out!
