Microsoft Windows 11 Operating Systems

With a new look and feel and easier ways to search and stay organised, Windows 11 has been built to work for you and with you.

A NEW ERA FOR THE PC

Windows is a driving force for innovation. It’s an enduring platform for each one of us to create. And its home for over a billion people to do their jobs, live their dreams and connect with the people they love. Windows 11 brings you closer to what you love and has been designed from the ground up with you at it’s center. Featuring a fresh new modern redesign from the new start menu through to the task bar, every sound, font and icon has been meticulously placed to give you fast access to the content and applications you love. Built to bring you closer to the people you love, empower your productivity, take your gaming experience to all new heights and conquer the challenges of the digital transformation that we’ve seen in recent times. A new era for the PC beings today and it’s called Microsoft Windows 11.

MAXIMISE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY

These days we are multitasking more than ever on our PCs and Windows 11 is filled with easy-to-use tools that can help you optimise your screen space and maximise your productivity. Introducing Snap layouts and groups which offer a powerful way to multitask and optimise your screen real-estate in a way that is visually clean. With new three-column layouts for larger screens, it has never been easier to have all the content you need at your fingertips perfectly arranged.

CHAT WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS

Chat from Microsoft Teams is a new experience that helps bring you closer to the people you care about. With a simple click you can use a personal account to chat, voice or video call with your friends, family and other contacts regardless of the device or platform they’re on – Windows, Mac, Android or iOS. Microsoft Teams isn’t just for people with smart devices; your friends and family can join the conversation via SMS text messaging. Plus, you can open the full Microsoft Teams experience directly from Chat to bring your plans to life with event scheduling, quick polls, file sharing and more

BUILT FOR GAMING

Windows 11 was made for gaming, with innovative new features that can take your PC gaming experience to the next level. If your PC has an HDR capable display, Auto HDR will automatically upgrade over 1000 DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games to high dynamic range, rendering a much wider range of colors and brightness. We also believe that player choice is important, so Windows 11 includes the ability to turn Auto HDR on or off on a per-game basis.

Home vs Pro

In a nutshell, the main difference between Home and Pro is protection. Both versions are very secure, but Pro offers even more protection thanks to its ability to utilise BitLocker device encryption.

Get Windows 11 for free on your current device

Many Windows 10 Pcs will be capable of running Windows 11. And good news, the upgrade is totally free. To see if your device meets the requirements to run Windows 11, download Microsoft’s PC Health Check App from here.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is new minimum requirement for the Windows operating system. Essentially, TPM increases the security of the device, (more information here).

There are two ways to achieve this requirement, either by enabling ‘firmware TPM’ in your motherboards BIOS or by purchasing TPM 2.0 module (also called ‘hardware TPM’ if your motherboard has a TPM header). 8th generation and newer Intel processors, along with AMD Ryzen 2000 series and above all feature firmware TPM allowing them to be compatible with Windows 11, when firmware TPM has been enabled in the BIOS. Older processors can be made compatible with Windows 11 only if the motherboard features a TPM 2.0 header and a suitable TPM module is purchased.
