What is MS Autopilot?

Microsoft Autopilot is a collection of technologies used to set up and pre-configure new Windows 10 or Windows 11 devices, preparing them for productive use. It allows IT departments to customize the out-of-box experience (OOBE) for end-users, automatically enroll devices into mobile device management (MDM) solutions like Microsoft Intune, and pre-install applications. This simplifies device deployment, reduces the need for imaging, and improves the end-user experience. It is commonly used to streamline the process of onboarding new employees by ensuring their devices are configured with the necessary settings, applications, and security policies before they even log in for the first time.
