Windows 10: O/S Image deployment on Dell OEM licensed Windows 10 Pro with VL license

Client has purchased 75 Dell workstations with windows 10 Pro (OEM License) installed. What I would like to do is take one and install needed programs and updates, create Master image and then push that out to the the remaining 74 workstations.

What I'm being told I should do since all these machines have an individual Pro license is to purchase a single Windows 10 Pro VL license and the push that image to the remaining 74 workstations but my concern will be that in doing so with the client be in compliance if an audit was to be performed?


Thank you

VL reimage rights with Windows 10 Pro, on 7 Pro OEM licenses.

We have well over 2000 laptops with Windows 7 Pro OEM Licenses. Because of a separate VL agreement, we are able to use the VL media and KMS to reimage these laptops as needed.

Can we sign a VL Agreement for Windows 10 Pro, get access to the VL Media and KMS, and reimage these laptops to Windows 10 Pro? This would be our upgrade path.

Thank you,

Matt

 

Windows 7 pro to Windows 10 pro VL / Educational Licensing model

I have 50 Lenovo T430 laptops with Windows 7 pro OEM. I am re-purposing these laptops to use in a different area of the school. I wish to upgrade them to Windows 10 pro for up to date security.

Currently, we have a volume licensing contract and can order the Windows 10 Professional licenses via VL. I wish to create a Windows 10 image to deploy. Will the VL edition of Windows 10 pro image successfully, and activate, with the existing Win 7 pro keys?

 

Can an OEM license key for Win 10 Pro be changed to a Campus Volume license key for Win 10 Pro for mass imaging?

I think there is a misunderstanding of how imaging works. Reimaging rights are based on the machine being properly licensed to allow the volume license upgrade to be installed. The machines don't have to be upgraded with a volume license key, if they are
already licensed with the proper premium business sku (in your case Windows 10 Pro OEM). What you should be doing is have your Volume License reference deployment image with the key already embedded and whatever software you want to deploy, then reimage the
machine using something like deployment kit.
