Upgrade to Windows 11 - get better security and performance

On October 5, Windows 11 will be launched. The new operating system is tempting with a new look and features that make workdays more efficient. Not least, this is the most secure Windows ever. 

The new Windows has all the power and security of Windows 10, with a user-friendly design, centered taskbar, and a new start menu. A new Snap layout, integration of Teams, updated Microsoft Store, and Widgets are also in place. Whether you want to get things done or stay connected with your colleagues, Windows 11 can be tailored to your needs. 

Strong focus on security

With Windows 11, you can also feel completely secure that your security is being maintained. Windows 11 is a Zero Trust-ready operating system with robust built-in security, hardware-based isolation, encryption, and protection against malware. This makes Windows 11 the most secure Windows operating system ever. 

Streamlined user interface and Teams integration

The biggest visual change with Windows 11 is the new user interface. The design is more minimalist, with rounded corners and frosted design elements. The start menu has also been moved to the center of the bottom part of the screen. 

In the new update, Teams is integrated into the operating system, which means the program requires less processing power, and the PC will feel faster. 

Merge windows with the new Snap layout

The new snap arrangement, Snap layouts, can make you more productive in your workday. With the new feature, you can quickly dock windows wherever you want on the screen, not just side by side - which is particularly useful with the new ultrawide or large screens in workplaces. By placing multiple windows in columns and sections, you will get a better overview of the content in a way that suits the applications. Another useful functionality is snap groups, which allows you to return to a previous window arrangement from the taskbar. For example, a previous setup where the windows have their fixed place. 

Run Android apps directly on your computer

The Microsoft Store has also received a redesign and is better suited to each individual user. Here you can easily find the apps you need. In Windows 11, it will also be possible to run Android apps directly on your computer, so you can keep your phone in your pocket.

Things to consider

With a new system, there will always be growing pains. Therefore, it is important that the system is thoroughly tested according to the company’s needs, both in stability and compatibility with programs.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Procano is proactive and has already run a test group on the system for several weeks.

We recommend that you have a conversation with us about our experiences and the way forward before upgrading the system.
