Back in June of last year, Microsoft introduced Windows AutoPilot, a toolkit to be added in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update that allows the deployment of computers without the intervention of IT admins. The device ID is uploaded to the OEM along with configuration options such as Azure AD account, Intune, and other settings that are automatically configured.
Lenovo commences early trials of Windows AutoPilot for users
During the Ignite 2017 conference in September last year, Microsoft announced that HP and Lenovo would be the first computer manufacturers to support AutoPilot in January 2018. However, January has passed without any updates. Earlier this week, Lenovo shared new information on its blog, stating that Lenovo has begun testing Windows AutoPilot for users early on.
Declaring themselves as the first third-party OEM to support the service, Lenovo mentioned that AutoPilot is being tested with selected early users and will be available to all users in the coming months.
Naturally, the first OEM to announce support for Windows AutoPilot is the first-party OEM, namely Microsoft. Windows AutoPilot is currently available on the latest Surface devices, including the Surface Book 2, Surface Laptop, and Surface Studio.
There is currently no information on when HP will begin supporting AutoPilot. Mytour will update you with the latest information when an announcement is made. As of now, Windows 10 remains the latest version and has undergone several updates.
Recently, Google disabled domain-fronting, eliminating the ability to bypass government firewalls through a Google App Engine update to minimize the risk of user tracking and attacks.
