HP’s guide to AI transformation

Business and IT leaders have a unique opportunity to shape the future of work with AI technology by automating tasks, optimising processes, and delivering personalised recommendations. HP’s Copilot+ PC will empower organisations to harness AI’s full potential.

However, there are a number of things organisations need to check before deploying Copilot+ PC to get the most out of this game-changing technology. Read the checklist below.

Have you deployed Windows 11 [1]?

• Copilot+ PC [2] operates on the latest Windows 11 release, so if you have not made the transition, now is the ideal time to do so. If you need assistance with your deployment, HP Professional Services is available to support your project.

Are you using Modern Management?

• Using tools like Autopilot, Entra, and Intune will help you accelerate the deployment  of Copilot+ PC’s. Simply procure devices that are ready for deployment in your business environment. When ordering HP devices, check the boxes for “Corporate Ready Image” and “Autopilot registration” to streamline deployment directly from the factory.

Update device configuration and Windows Security settings

• Make sure your device configuration and Windows Security settings are updated to align with Windows 24H2 and Copilot+ features, following your organisation’s policy. To simplify evaluation and deployment, consider creating a Copilot Autopilot profile.

Application compatibility

• One of the guiding principles is to ensure third-party security applications and any applications containing device drivers are supported by the ISV for the targeted Windows Operating System and new Windows PC device.
• The historical challenges with application compatibility of Windows on ARM have been addressed by Microsoft and Qualcomm.
• To optimise employee experiences, select applications and their versions that offer native compatibility with Copilot+ PC.

Software distribution

• Ensure your selected software distribution method deploys the optimal version for your specific Copilot+ PC3device. For example, deploying applications compiled for ARM will provide a better experience for the Snapdragon Elite X Pro devices.
• To simplify IT tasks associated with software distribution, many independent software vendors package a variety of versions in a single distribution. Microsoft automatically distributes the optimal software version for those applications accessible via Intune Enterprise App Management or the Microsoft Store.

Update support processes and knowledgebase

• Copilot+ PC’s introduce exciting new features. Engage your support team to update existing processes or create new ones your organisation may require.
