Upgrading your users to a new operating system may seem like one job too far for overstretched IT teams.

About Windows 11
Windows 11 offers new productivity features and functionality to enable users to work safely and securely on the go.
🏃♂️ Here’s some of the key changes over Windows 10:
- Universal search: Taskbar search function to find what users need from files, photos, contacts, emails, and the web.
- Accessibility: Move to new ways of working with voice recognition1, live captions, and on-screen text read aloud by a narrator in a natural, human voice.
- Easy setup and personalisation for users to tailor their workspaces.
- Snap assist to organise screens in an easy manner
- Desktop groups to silo work and business
- Optimised working: Microsoft Phone Link is now available for iPhone® devices and Android™ to view notifications, read messages, and dial calls from your PC
Keeping devices and data more secure
🔐 For IT, it’s also easier to keep users and data safe with new performance and security features
From start up, Windows 11 is on guard. It works in combination with your hardware and was designed with multiple layers of protection to help keep your apps, information, and privacy secure.
Devices are also protected with SmartApp Control, meaning Windows 11 will only run reputable apps that won’t compromise your data. In addition to giving your users control over their data and defending against malware, Microsoft Edge can also scan the web to check if your passwords have been compromised.
