A company plans to migrate to Microsoft 365. Corporate devices run Windows 7 or Windows 10. You must upgrade all devices to use Office 365 ProPlus and minimize costs. You need to standardize…

Windows Autopilot enables zero-touch, automated device provisioning and configuration through the cloud, standardizing deployments without requiring on-premises infrastructure, which minimizes costs and ensures consistency across corporate devices.

Configuration Manager (SCCM) is an on-premises solution that requires significant infrastructure investment and licensing costs, contradicting the goal of minimizing costs when a cloud-based alternative like Intune already provides equivalent policy deployment capabilities.

Office 365 ProPlus requires Windows 10 as Windows 7 reached end of support in January 2020 and is no longer supported for Microsoft 365 Apps; upgrading all devices to Windows 10 is a prerequisite for running Office 365 ProPlus and receiving security updates.

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) solution that allows policy deployment across all Windows 10 devices without requiring on-premises servers like SCCM, minimizing infrastructure costs while standardizing configurations.

Having users manually download and install Office 365 ProPlus via a Windows Installer package introduces inconsistency, is not a standardized deployment method, and eliminates administrative control over versioning and configuration, conflicting with the requirement to standardize deployments.
