Windows 10: When a machine is reimaged from Windows 7 to 10 ATP is still seeing the machine as Windows 7

Good morning,


We've had a issue this morning where a machine that has been reimaged into Windows 10 from Windows 7. The machine was onboarded onto the ATP portal as a Windows 7 device but upon reimage doesn't appear to have been offboarded and onboarded again as a Windows 10 machine.

The machine was rebuilt after an alert on ATP but ATP is still generating alert's against the Windows 7 onboarding of the device.


Does ATP not recognise the Device on the network has changed OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10? We only seem to be having this issue with the one machine, other reimaged machines have updated fine. Does the ATP alert still being active at the time of the reimage cause issues with the off/onboarding process?


We've not had this issue in the past and can't seem to find much infomation on this so any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Alex

Can't write to shares on a Windows 10 machine from a Windows 7 machine

I still get "You need permission to perform this action" from the Windows 7 machines if I try to write to a Windows 10 share after I made the above changes on the Windows 10 machine.

 

windows 7 8 or 10

We can kick Windows 8.1 to the curb right away. Windows 10, in tablet mode, is effectively identical...not that I would recommend using tablet mode.

The only advantage Windows 8.1 has over Windows 10 is Windows Media Center. Windows 10 doesn't have it and likely will never support it. Microsoft wants you to buy an Xbox One and use that, instead of your computer, for media, and then stream it to your Windows 10 machine from the Xbox One. Windows Media Center on 7 seems to not be getting updates anymore (worked off of Vista guide info which shut down). Windows Media Center on 8.1 costs $10 to upgrade on Pro or $100 to upgrade on Home.

The Windows 7 upgrade (should still work for about 10 months yet) requires:
1) Install Windows 7.
2) Activate Windows 7.
3) Upgrade to Windows 10.
4) Activate Windows 10.
At this point, you could either stay with Windows 10 or downgrade to Windows 7 by doing a clean install.

Personally, I would go with Windows 10. It has some bugs but it is pretty good overall.

 

Windows 10 Vs Windows 7 ultimate.

Ehhh, I don't want to vote because I'm mixed. I've had some rather frustrating experiences with Windows 10 due to how updates are rolled out but, when it works I think it's better than Windows 7. When I put Windows back on any of my machines, it will most likely be Windows 10. If 7 is working for you and you don't have a need to go to 10, then I would wait unless you really want DX12 or something.
