Searching for the Windows 10 software compatibility utility

Question

Sign in to vote
I work in the Healthcare/Education space and have an initiative to upgrade our remaining (9000+) machines from Windows 7 Enterprise to Windows 10 LSTC. My biggest concern at this time is software compatibility. We have research machines with no known application owners and several departments with a plethora of software titles.

We utilize SCCM 1403 and I am looking for insight as to a tool/utility I use to to run a compatibility scan for KNOWN issues with Windows 10.

I ran the command below in hopes it would run a scan but I got no output. So the search continues.

In our case the Upgrade Readiness Deployment Script may be a better solution. Still evaluating

Ok, due to limited condition, we cannot test for you, if you feel the Upgrade Readiness Deployment Script runs a better role, just do it
