Dell ThinOS 10.x Migration Guide

Convert Dell Hybrid Client to ThinOS 10.x

Convert Dell Hybrid Client devices to ThinOS 10.x, deploy the DHC conversion package using WMS. This process helps you reimage supported devices, apply the necessary policies, and deploy ThinOS through a scheduled job, making the transition smooth and retaining existing licenses when applicable.

    After the conversion is scheduled, the ThinOS 10.x image is downloaded and installed on the Dell Hybrid Client device. Upon completion, the device restarts automatically.

    NOTE:After conversion, ThinOS is restored to its factory default state. The ThinOS 10.x device is automatically registered to WMS under the same group.

    NOTE:If a valid Dell Hybrid Client (DHC) activation license is still active, ThinOS 10.x continues to search for it. If no DHC license is found, the device uses the available ThinOS 10.x Subscription license.

    NOTE:If no DHC or ThinOS 10.x Subscription license is available, the device continues to work for 30 days. After 30 days, no configurations can be pushed from WMS.

    A Notification Update window is displayed on the devices.
12. Click Update Now to upgrade the build immediately, or wait 5 minutes for the automatic update.
    Once the update completes, the device reboots to the desktop screen.
