Moving from Windows Autopilot to Windows Autopilot device preparation

By: Maggie Dakeva, Senior Product Manager - Microsoft Intune Organizations have spent years refining Windows Autopilot deployments.

What changed

Profiles, Enrollment Status Page settings, group tags, dynamic groups, application assignments, and support processes all work together to deliver a familiar provisioning experience. Windows Autopilot device preparation is a re-architecture of Windows Autopilot designed around the customer asks we hear most often: simpler configuration, faster and more reliable setup, clearer progress for users, and near real-time deployment reporting for administrators.

Why it matters

Device-management changes can affect policy processing, reporting, app delivery or support workflows across managed endpoints.

Known limitations

  • Availability, prerequisites and rollout scope remain authoritative in the linked Microsoft documentation.

Now check

  • Map the announced change to affected Intune workloads and supported platforms
  • Pilot the exact profile, app or device action named by Microsoft
  • Review policy, app, enrollment and support reports before rollout
