 = Rebooting a node gracefully
 
+ifdef::windows[]
+The Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) minimizes node reboots whenever possible. However, certain operations and updates require a reboot to ensure that changes are applied correctly and securely. To safely reboot your Windows nodes, use the graceful reboot process. For information on gracefully rebooting a standard {product-title} node, see "Rebooting a node gracefully" in the Nodes documentation.

 Before rebooting a node, it is recommended to backup etcd data to avoid any data loss on the node.
