About this task
The process of converting Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, ThinLinux 2.x and ThinOS 8.6 to
Dell Hybrid Client removes the contents and partition structure of the existing drive. The conversion process preserves only the
certificates and settings relevant to register the device to Wyse Management Suite. All other data, certificates and
configuration settings are not preserved. After the conversion to Dell Hybrid Client, it is not possible to convert the device back
to the original state. However, you can restore the original operating system using the Dell Wyse USB Imaging Tool 3.4 or later
from the https://www.dell.com/support. The existing data and settings are not restored.
