The Window 10 operating system introduces a new way to build, deploy, and service Windows: Windows as a service. Microsoft has reimagined each part of the process, to simplify the lives of IT pros and maintain a consistent Windows 10 experience for its customers. These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development. Also, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers. And leveling out the resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"building\"><strong>Building<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years. This traditional deployment schedule imposed a training burden on users because the feature revisions were often significant. That schedule also meant waiting long periods without new features. This is &#8211; a scenario that doesn\u2019t work in today\u2019s rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges. Windows as a service will deliver smaller feature updates two times per year. This is around March and September, to help address these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deploying\"><strong>Deploying<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Deploying Windows 10 is simpler than with previous versions of Windows. Also, When migrating from earlier versions of Windows, an easy in-place upgrade process can be used to automatically preserve all apps, settings, and data. And once running Windows 10, deployment of Windows 10 feature updates will be equally simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"servicing\"><strong>Servicing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types. Such as major revisions (e.g., the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. With Windows 10, there are two release types. These are feature updates that add new functionality twice per year, and quality updates that provide security and reliability fixes at least once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Window 10, organizations will need to change the way they approach deploying updates. Servicing channels are the first way to separate users into deployment groups for feature and quality updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"servicing-channels\"><strong>Servicing channels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Window 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing channels. Also, It allow customers to designate how frequently their individual devices are updated. For example, an organization may have test devices that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible. And then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/microsoft-365-fundamentals-ms-900-free-practice-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/MS-900-Prctice-test.png\" alt=\"MS-900 practice test and Windows as a service - an Overview\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/tutorial\/exam-ms-900-microsoft-365-fundamentals\/\">Go back to home page <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Reference Documentation &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/deployment\/update\/waas-overview#servicing-channels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overview of Windows as a service<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tutorial will give an overview of windows as a service.
