Use Microsoft Upgrade Analytics to Evaluate Windows 10 Readiness

This week Microsoft is quietly launching a new service that will help provide telemetry data analysis for companies considering a migration to or actively trialing Windows 10 in their organizations.

Upgrade Analytics, the official name of this new service from Microsoft, provides a tool that will pull in telemetry data from testing Windows 10 on hardware and while using Line of Business apps.

That data will then provide concrete information to help these enterprises make their decisions about a full move to Windows 10.

Upgrade Analytics will use this data to provide the following to users:

  • Up-to date application and driver inventory, including usage data

  • Information about known application and driver issues as well as guidance on how to mitigate them

  • A way to track whether an application or driver is ready Windows 10 in your organization

  • Per-Computer readiness information which you use to target computers for Windows 10 deployments

A public preview of Upgrade Analytics will launch on 22 July and you can visit the new Microsoft Upgrade Analytics site to get more information once it launches.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
