HP Corporate-Ready Whitepaper

I. HP Windows 10 factory images

HP offers Windows 10 preinstalled on the systems shipped from the factory on HP commercial desktop

and mobile computers. The Windows 10 preinstallation image shipped from the factory has received

thousands of hours of testing to assure high quality and reliability for our customers.

HP has provided the HP Premier image for many years, and this is the standard image shipped on the

systems. HP has added the HP Corporate-Ready image to support customers wanting a “clean” image.

This image is readily suited to new Modern Provisioning technologies. Differences between the two

image types are provided in the following sections.

HP Premier image

The HP Premier image shipped from the factory includes the Windows OS, device drivers,

Microsoft 365

Apps for enterprise 64-Bit trial,

required HP documentation, hardware-enabling

software, and several HP applications. The HP value-added applications provide security,

manageability, and collaboration features.

HP Corporate-Ready image

The HP Corporate-Ready option was initially launched in 2016 for customers who want a minimal

Windows 10 image from the factory. The Corporate-Ready image consists of the Windows OS, device

drivers, Microsoft 365

Apps for enterprise 64-Bit trial

required HP documentation, and a minimal set

of HP hardware- enabling apps. It is a subset of the regular HP Premier Image, removing most of the

HP value-added software. The HP Premier and Corporate-Ready images have the same high quality

and reliability because they have identical Windows 10 OS and device drivers.

The HP Corporate-Ready offering was previously known as HP Enterprise-Ready. To avoid confusion

with Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Edition operating system, HP refers to the offering as HP

Corporate-Ready on new products. HP cannot sell Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Edition on client

systems.

Customers can order the Corporate-Ready option from their HP account representative or on select

platforms offered on hp.com.

HP Corporate-Ready Whitepaper Modern Windows Image Provisioning The PC industry has developed a more modern image provisioning approach. The Windows 10 image preinstalled in the factory is retained. The line-of-business applications, policies, and settings are installed after the system reaches the end-user by a modern provisioning solution, for example Microsoft Autopilot. The HP Corporate-Ready image is a great choice for customers using modern image provisioning.
