An optimal Windows 11 readiness plan addresses how you'll communicate with, train, and support employees so they can be productive on day one. Our Windows 11 onboarding kit offers templates that you can easily customize with your company's logo, name, and relevant resources. It also includes guidance to help you map out your overall upgrade plans and create meaningful training materials.

We know, however, that not everyone is excited about change. That's why we've created a short, simple video on what it's like that first day using Windows 11.

This video was developed in direct response to your feedback about the types of concerns your end users and, let's be honest, leadership teams have about moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11. While there are SO many features we could cover, we wanted to keep this video focused on the basics: navigation, collaboration, multitasking, and the overall experience.

I hope this video provides you with a helpful tool in your Windows 11 adoption toolbox. We also share more video-based Windows 11 tips on our Windows community YouTube channel. If there is a particular feature or settings you'd like us to explore in a future video, please drop a comment below. We'd love to hear from you!

    I see Microsoft moderated away my last comment that was more thought out after watching the video. I'm not watching it again, but will note that ss an admin of a couple thousand employees, we will not be deploying Windows 11 until we stop receiving security patches to Windows 10. You've removed important functionality that is commonly used (two row taskbar, desktop toolbars, more clicks in Start Menu, etc.). These little things add up to considerable productivity losses.

    Hello ThomasTrombley , this kit is not accessible. My admin email does not work and does not have a permission https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103661&msockid=3d949011a1b767f7365f82e8a0a366e8

    Could probably skip over the fact that taskbar is in the center now instead of the left and focus on things that aren't immediately apparent or easy to understand. Is anyone watching this and thinking like "ohh that's where the taskbar went, had no idea. Thank you narrator."

     

    Eg. how to access the second context layer menu, the difference between Control Panel and Control Panel
