 Supported Versions 
For other versions of Windows we provide 
best-effort support in case of issues, provided that the version of Windows is 
still supported by Microsoft.
 Installation 
isginf offers fully managed installation of Windows on desktop and laptop computers. Installations are deployed automatically over the network. 
ITCs can request an installation through our 
installation request form.
 Supported Hardware 
In general we are able to install Windows on all 64 bit platforms as long as drivers for all components are available.
 Software 
A lot of software is already packaged and can be installed on a computer automatically even after installation. 
ITCs can define a standard software set for their group.
 Licensing 
The software licensing for the operating system and all software installed via the package deployment system is handled by 
isginf. 
 Updates 
The operating system as well as all software installed via the package deployment system is automatically updated.
