Microsoft today announced the new System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview (1607) that includes some new features. With this update, you can upgrade PC clients running Windows 10 Professional edition to Windows 10 Enterprise edition with just a product key; no reimaging required.
- Customizable branding for end-user dialogs: End-user dialogs that are opened from Software Center or taskbar notifications now show the same organization name, color, and icon branding as Software Center. The administrator workflow for specifying branding settings remains unchanged.

- Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) connector: Sync data such as collections from ConfigMgr to OMS.
- Windows 10 Edition Upgrade: Upgrade PC clients running Windows 10 Professional edition to Windows 10 Enterprise edition with just a product key; no reimaging required.
