Windows 10: How to automate the first time login questions in Windows 11 using Intune Autopilot

Hi everyone,I do not want to have my end-users have to answer the initial questions like region and privacy settings and keyboard layout during their initial login of a brand new Windows 11 computer. I am using Intune and Autopilot. Is there a way to configure those settings so that I can have them answered behind the scenes and all the user has to do is login using their Microsoft 365 account? Examples of screens to skip are below.Thank you,

Autopilot Profiles: Azure /Intune.

In the Microsoft Partner Center Dashboard I am able to both create and configure Autopilot profiles and (once it’s working) register devices to apply those Autopilot profiles to.



In the Azure Intune Dashboard I am able to do the exact same functions as mentioned above in the Microsoft Partner Center by navigating:

• Open Azure
• Open InTune
• Click Device Enrollment
• Click Windows Enrollment
• In this GUI there are options for Windows Autopilot

The odd thing is that for the same customer I can configure Autopilot in two different places. Additionally, if I create a profile in one location, it does not propagate to the other. I can have two completely different profiles in each place.



How is it determined which is the profile that will be used for Autopilot if I have one in each place? Is one being phased out? Thanks for any information that you can provide.

Also, what would happen if we had a device from a completely different source than Ingram? Like we inherited a client that already had PC’s, and we wanted to onboard them with the Azure/InTune stack? Would we not be able to register
those devices? I don’t think Ingram would interested in taking requests for devices that they didn’t even sell.

Thank you.

Deregistration of computer from Intune/Autopilot system

I recently purchased a used computer from an Ebay retailer. The computer appears to be registered with Intune/Autopilot program and I cannot install Windows on the machine due to a requirement to enter “School” or “Work” credentials, which I do not have. Is there a way to have this machine deregistered from the Intune/Autopilot system? What information is required?
