Selecting the appropriate servicing channel
New versions of Windows are usually released every couple of years. The introduction of these new versions to an organization then becomes a project, either by using a wipe-and-load process to install the latest version of the OS on, existing machines or by transitioning, as part of the hardware replacement cycle, to the newer version of the OS.
Either way, it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy to complete specific tasks. A new configuration has been introduced to Windows 10. This new model, called Windows as a service, allows organizations to reconsider how they implement and update Windows. Updating Windows is no longer a project that occurs every couple of years, but is in fact, now a continuous cycle.
In this section, you will get to know Windows as a service, how you can select the appropriate servicing channel for your organization, and how you can distribute the updates with deployment rings.
