Most of our Windows version upgrades are: a newly-imaged machine is shipped from HQ (often including custom software for the user’s job), we copy the user’s data over, then wipe the old machine and ship it to HQ. There’s always a healthy number that require us to reimage locally, but getting most of them ready to use makes that a lot easier.2967168http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2019-06-11T02:04:13+00:002019-06-11T02:04:13+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
