Windows 7 has reached the end of its life, and due to security concerns, everyone is urged to upgrade to Windows 10 immediately.

The problem is that this isn’t easy when you have multiple PCs that need upgrading, such as the case of IT admins in big companies. That is why using software solutions such as the SCCM (System center configuration manager) is advised.

It allows users to manage a large number of Windows-based computers, as it includes remote control properties, patch management, operating system deployment, network protection, and other various services.

In the case at hand, the SCCM can be used to upgrade multiple Windows 7 PCs to WIndows 10 at once, without going through each PC one by one.
