Microsoft analyzes system, application, and driver telemetry data to help you determine when computers are upgrade-ready, allowing you to simplify and accelerate Windows upgrades in your organization. The diagram below illustrates how Upgrade Analytics components work together in a typical installation.
After you enable Windows telemetry on user computers and install the compatibility update KB
user computers send computer, application and driver telemetry data to a secure Microsoft data center through the Microsoft Data Management Service
After you configure Upgrade Analytics, telemetry data is analyzed by the Upgrade Analytics Service
and pushed to your OMS workspace
You can then use the Upgrade Analytics solution (5) to plan and manage Windows upgrades.
