Summary

Completed

A sizeable percentage of Woodgrove's Windows 10 devices were out of support or nearing the end of support. As a result, some devices that were used for critical business functions were not up to date. To resolve this, you were asked to present a plan to help your organization to stay current with the latest Windows updates from Microsoft.

Without a servicing process, your organization's environment could continue to lag behind, experience performance loss, and be at a greater risk of obtaining viruses and malware. Your servicing process helps your organization improve its productivity and keep its environment up to date with the latest security features.
