12. Why Upgrade
the OS?
 No need to maintain image library
 Preserve applications, drivers, user data and
settings
 Reduce upfront testing and deployment prep
 Compared to refresh, upgrade offers…
 Faster deployment – 30 to 60 minutes, on average, to
upgrade
 Smaller deployment - file size is just the default OS media,
no applications
 More robust – “bulletproof” rollback on failure to functional
down-level system
 Supplements existing deployment scenarios
 Refresh, replace, and bare metal

13. Why Upgrade
the OS?
