Windows 10’s time is almost up — and that presents IT teams with a key decision: reimage or do in-place upgrades to Windows 11? The right choice can save you hours (or days); the wrong one can derail your entire migration.

In this session, we’ll compare both approaches side by side, help you find the best fit for your setup, and show how SmartDeploy makes either method smooth, flexible, and frustration-free.

Whether you’re upgrading a dozen laptops or hundreds of desktops, you’ll leave with practical strategies for a smoother migration.

P.S. No matter which path you choose, SmartDeploy makes it easier. Try it free and see how much simpler migration can be.
