Best Solution for Upgrading Windows 7 (Of all different versions) to Windows 10 Education. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately we don't have a server were we can remotely connect to do have an image pushed down so I think we are just gunna have to go to each device and install Windows 10 manually that way. <br />
<br />
But I wanted to reach out to you all and see if there was a better solution. Work smarter not harder! <br />
<br />
Our goals are to: Upgrade Windows 7 (Of all different versions) to Windows 10 Education. With no data loss. We do have a way for users to back up their documents but that doesn't stop them from saving stuff to the desktop. <br />
<br />
We would also like a custom image where the license key is already in the image. (Not sure how to do that. We do have a volume licensing agreement so one key can be used on X amount of devices)<br />
<br />
And lastly is there a way to have certain programs pre-installed already like Microsoft Office 2016 in the image or no? <br />
<br />
Thanks so much for taking the time to read all this.

Best solution for Upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 Education approx 300 devices

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
