Windows 11 Readiness

Latest Version: 3.0.0.1
|
Updated on March 20, 2024

Description

Windows 11 is here, replacing Windows 10 as Microsoft's primary OS. However, it comes with stricter hardware requirements than its predecessor, and won't upgrade to older devices.

Unfortunately, most IT teams have a limited, hardware-centric understanding of their device landscape, preventing accurate foresight about the impact of a Windows 11 migration on budget, DEX, and IT productivity.

The Windows 11 Readiness Library pack enables IT teams to uniquely understand their device landscape readiness for a Windows 11 migration at the device, application, and employee experience level by combining both Microsoft and Nexthink DEX intelligence to looks beyond simple hardware requirements. Transformation teams can also leverage employee's DEX scores and their use of business-critical applications to determine the most appropriate candidates for their pilot group.

Install this Library Pack to:

  • Perform hardware requirement checks across the entire device landscape.
  • Identify devices to keep, upgrade, or replace.
  • Ensure business-critical applications are not negatively affected by Windows 11.
  • Choose pilot group based on DEX Score and application usage.
  • Ensure employee experience is high enough to migrate

Support, transformation, and EUC teams can use this pack to build a painless and cost-effective Windows migration strategy to improve employees' main OS experience.
