From the description it just sounds like you'd be the one to help the client(s) after they're moved to a new operating system with any issues that might arise. In the event that their existing equipment won't work with Windows 7, you need to wipe and then inventory/manage the obsolete hardware. You basically are the one who deals with the aftermath of the OS deployment/installation.

Thanks Davo. Thats seems very straight forward. I have no experience with OS deployment which I was worrying if that experience was needed. I know how to reinstall operating systems one by one but I doubt that even counts lol
