Out-of-Box Experience For Windows 10

When setting up a new computer out of the box, you must run through the Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE).

There are various ways to run through the OOBE depending on your organisation's network. The Private Universe Helpdesk will advise of which method to follow. You can skip to the correct method by using the navigation pane on the right 👉.
