Windows 11 – What’s New & Why It Matters to You We’re pleased to announce that starting this summer term, all devices will be upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This is part of our continued commitment to improving your IT experience and security. This upgrade brings a host of enhancements designed to make your day-to-day work more intuitive and efficient. This upgrade also includes enhancements that will significantly improve your experience when working offsite or from home. We have designed Windows 11 to keep the experience as similar as possible to Windows 10. We hope this will make the transition smooth and minimise disruption.
A SMOOTHER, SMARTER USER EXPERIENCE Redesigned Start Menu
While the applications folder remains on the desktop, a new start menu - which has a cleaner, more intuitive layout focused on what you use most - will make it easier to find apps and files.
New Tabbed File Explorer
Work more efficiently with multiple tabs in a single window — just like a web browser.
Microsoft Edge – Our Recommended Browser

Generate and save strong passwords for external websites without the need to remember them. • Microsoft edge has additional customisation options: ▶ Customise startup tabs to suit you ▶ Organise your tabs vertically ▶ Split screen browsing 1
