- [Narrator] Windows 10
is the latest operating system from Microsoft.
However, client licenses are not included
with a Microsoft 365 Business subscription.
If you're currently using Windows 7 Professional
or Windows 8.1 Pro, then you are entitled
to a free upgrade to Windows 10 Business
as part of your Microsoft 365 Business Subscription.
When purchasing Microsoft 365 Business
you're granted a Windows 10 license
if you have a qualifying product.
You can take your existing Windows 7 Professional,
Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro machines,
then as part of the Microsoft 365 Business subscription,
they're allocated the enhanced
Windows 10 Business capabilities
such as Windows Autopilot, and EMS functionality.
Windows 10 is offered in several editions,
with Windows 10 Pro marketed primarily
at the small and mid-size businesses.
You cannot use the home edition with Microsoft 365 Business
as it lacks features such as BitLocker Drive Encryption,
Group Policy, Remote Desktop, and Client Hyper-V.
You'll need to purchase a new license
or upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
Windows 10 supports desktop PCs,
tablets, and mobile devices.
And modern work practices include your users
working from home, in the office, or on the move.
With Windows 10, it's fully integrated
into Microsoft's cloud services
that are included with Microsoft 365 Business.
The threat to your users and corporate data
is greater than ever before.
And therefore security is one of the key reasons
for modernizing IT.
Security is integral to Windows 10,
and many security features
are built into the operating system,
these include Windows Defender Antivirus,
which provides protection against malware and viruses,
Windows Defender Firewall,
which protects your operating system perimeter,
BitLocker Drive Encryption,
which allows you to encrypt your fixed and removable drives,
and Windows Hello, which allows you to use biometrics
such as face recognition and fingerprints
instead of passwords.
You also have Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11,
which allows your users to browse the internet securely.
You also have Windows SmartScreen,
which protects against fishing attacks,
and Windows Information Protection,
which helps reduce data leakage.
And finally, you have Advanced Threat Protection,
which detects, guards, and responds to advanced threats
which targets your users.
To stop malware from starting processes and infecting PCs,
Windows 10 includes User Account Control,
which forces applications to run at the user level
and not as an administrator, therefore,
they cannot install malicious content onto your devices.
AppLocker provides application control policies,
which allow you to control
which apps can run on your devices.
You can manage Windows 10 settings on all of your devices
using either Microsoft Intune,
which is a mobile device management solution from Microsoft,
or Group Policy, the modern approach to device management
is to treat all devices as if they were mobile devices,
and that includes your Windows 10 PCs.
Microsoft Intune allows you to do this
by enrolling your devices into management.
You'll then configure security and compliance policies
from the Microsoft 365 Business admin portal.
This is the preferred method of managing Windows 10
with Microsoft 365 Business.
Windows Autopilot is a modern way
to deploy Windows 10 to devices.
A new device is registered
with the Windows Autopilot service.
And then when a user first signs into the device
with the Azure Active Directory credentials,
the device will automatically be configured
to your corporate requirements
without ever needing to be touched by IT.
Windows 10 is a fully enabled cloud operating system.
This includes working with Office 365,
OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint Online.
As an example, the OneDrive for Business app
is built into Windows 10.
So once you sign into your PC,
you can access you OneDrive for Business files
directly via file explorer.
This allows you to synchronize files
and drag and drop files from your device
directly to OneDrive for Business within file explorer.
