I contacted Dell Sales to purchase ThinOS TALs and WMS Pro and they said don’t sell ThinOS seperately. They gave me a link to new Optiplex 3000 thin clients with ThinOS preinstalled.
What am I missing? I found several Wyse 5470s for sale with Windows 10ENT installed but I need ThinOS. So I don’t want to purchase them till I know how to get migrate them from Win10ENT to ThinOS.
