Converting Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise from trial to full-blown - Windows Autopilot

Question

Hi, recently purchased Lenovo workstations had Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise pre-installed with trial version so installation of it from scratch during Windows Autopilot is redundant. What we need is to "convert" trial version to full-blown version during Windows Autopilot and maybe to change update channel to current channel (if that is "hard", we can set up update channel using GPO or MECM). Since I would like to do everything doable during Windows Autopilot, conversion from trial is more than welcomed.

@Bojan Zivkovic Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Based on my understanding, we can install Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise and change update channel to current channel via intune. We can refer to the following article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add-office365#deployment-details

It is suggested to try to configure autopilot enrollment and deploy Microsoft 365 Apps to the autopilot device group. When we reset the device, it will install Microsoft 365 Apps during autopilot enrollment.

Hope the above information will help.

Ok, sorry. I completely overlooked the fact apps pre-installed would be removed during reset phase.
