Started planning your Windows 11 migration yet?

The end is nigh for Windows 10. Well, the OS will be around for a while, but Microsoft will end support on 14 October 2025. While that might seem like a long way off, migrating to Windows 11 requires more effort than you might think. To reap all the benefits of Windows 11, you need to plan the transition and update your systems in good time.

 

Migrate to Windows 11.

Good planning is essential and our guide lays out a roadmap for your business’s migration. We include all the necessary steps, timings, set migration goals, inventory your technology and review what’s missing. Leveraging use cases and practical demonstrations, we bring technology and people together and then plan provisioning, implementation and the safe disposal of old equipment. Depending on your individual needs, we can offer support in specific steps or be on-hand every step of the way from planning to completion.

 

Explore the possibilities of Windows 11.

Making the move to Windows 11 gives you and your business access to advanced security and powerful, integrated management tools. Integration with Azure, Microsoft 365, and Teams makes it easier to support hybrid work environments while new features such as Snap Assist, universal search and desktop groups make your employees more productive. Windows 11 is backed by the power of AI making Microsoft Windows smarter, easier to use and more secure than ever.

Secure-by-default.

In Windows 11, you get the highest possible level of security as standard. Hardware security such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are included out-of-the-box and devices boot and remain secure because features running in the background keep an eye on them. Secure-by-default increases IT reliability, helps your business work securely, and means your management department remains compliant with security regulations. 

 

Faster, more productive and more personal.

The Windows 11 user interface has undergone a makeover and touch, pen and voice control work better than ever. Snap Assist makes it easier to switch between windows while desktop groups allows your employees to design their desktops to suit their tastes. Start typing in the universal search bar and Windows displays results within your files, contacts, e-mails and from the internet. 

 

Easier to manage.

Windows 11 makes managing your IT environment easier. From one central environment, you can automatically roll out updates and check that they have actually been provisioned to users. Apps and settings can deployed remotely and new devices adapt to whoever logs in. Plus, you can keep an eye on all devices, users and security statuses from the cloud.  

 

Packed with advanced AI.

Fully integrated AI adds a whole new level of functionality and optimises all Windows 11 features. From personalisation and accessibility to security and performance, AI makes Windows 11 safer, better and smarter than ever.
