that system look at
the detailed
information to check
Ram, the type of
processor, and how
much disc space
you have.

system
Make sure only Windows
7 systems are selected
Look for systems with
disk space of at least
150 GB

custom reports such as one to
determine if any of your systems
already have a previous version of
Office installed on them as they will
need to be removed before the
Windows Migration.
7. How to remove previous
versions of Office and Install
Office 2010

software distribution module in the
process called managed
installations

automated set of instructions to
install or remove software without
user or administrator interaction.
