Windows 11
Navigate hybrid work and learning with the most advanced Windows OS
Available from Autumn 2021, Windows 11 will be shipped with eligible new devices. The software is also free to download and install on compatible devices. Monthly quality updates will be issued, and yearly feature updates will also be released.
What is Windows 11?
Simply put Windows 11 is the successor to Windows 10 and is built on the same core architecture. It comes with new visual and layout changes with the user experience front and centre. Users will immediately notice big changes to the Start menu, taskbar and Settings controls, and a much-improved Store.
Security is also greatly improved with default hardware-assisted security available via Secure Boot and device encryption which gives users additional protection against cyberattacks.
Stay ahead of the hybrid curve with an operating system primed to revolutionise your desktop security, connectivity and productivity
