Upgrade to a better experience across your institution
Windows 11 delivers new productivity, security, and AI readiness for students, faculty, and staff. It provides powerful tools to learn, teach, collaborate, and create, not only enhancing instruction but also ensuring accessibility for diverse learning needs.
Windows 11 in brief
Powerful for users. Offers new features and functionality designed for highly personalized, productive, accessible, and secure education experiences.
- Simple, powerful UX to improve productivity and satisfaction.
- Customizable desktop, workflow automation, and snap layout for a personalized workday.
- Smarter collaboration with Microsoft Teams and accessibility features like live audio captioning, built-in screen reader, voice typing, and more.
Consistent for IT. Based on the same foundation as Windows 10, supports the same IT management tools.
AI enhancements for all. Microsoft Copilot delivers future-focused capabilities including AI-powered security, multitasking, search, lesson planning, content creation, and videoconferencing improvements.
End-to-end security for the institution.
- Zero Trust-ready OS to protect data and access, anywhere.

Built-in security — and more of it than ever
Powerful, pre-enabled protection
Windows 11 is the most secure Windows yet, backed by layers of powerful default protection that can drop security incidents a reported 58%.4
Built-in security.
Ensures protections are ready without having to configure devices. Microsoft has increased the security baseline by requiring a security chip (TPM 2) and ensuring protections are built in and turned on by default to protect from malware and sophisticated attacks.
Pre-enabled virtualization-based security (VBS) and hypervisor-enforced code integrity (HVCI).
Safeguards the operating system and information stored in memory. Powerful hardware-based security built in and enabled by default led to a reported 3.1x reduction in firmware attacks.
Innovative security on Lenovo devices running Windows 11.
Protect against tomorrow’s threats with Zero Trust-ready OS and AI endpoint protection by SentinelOne, hardware isolation, encryption, malware protection, and integrated hardware and OS safeguards.
IT productivity from the get-go
With Windows 11, you can deploy remote PCs through the cloud in compliance with institutional policies. Expanded support for group policy administrative templates in mobile device management solutions like Microsoft Endpoint Manager enables you to easily apply the same security policies to on-premises and remote devices.*
Cloud-managed security updates offer additional control. Approve, schedule, and monitor any Windows Update content through the cloud, including security updates, drivers, and firmware.
Windows 11 also allows for better performance consistency — critical for IT — across device configurations with new minimum system requirements.
Hand-in-hand optimizations
All the Windows 11 benefits are amplified by Lenovo device technology — performance innovations that elevate Windows 11 user-focused features.
AI-enhanced. Gets things done more effectively and efficiently with the help of AI-powered search, content generation, and security advancements from Copilot.
Smart Standby. A unique Lenovo enhancement that allows users to manage and configure low-power states to maximize battery life.
Always On/Always Connected. Optimizes productivity and collaboration by empowering full wireless performance connectivity in any mode — even with the lid closed.
5G and Wi-Fi 6 antenna designs. Newly engineered to provide epic connectivity, with Wi-Fi 7 available on some devices.
Intelligent cooling. Adjusted through the Windows power slider bar and works in auto mode by default.
Optimized audio. Dolby Voice for clearer sound in noisy environments and a heightened collaboration experience on Microsoft Teams.
Six steps to a smart migration
- Enlist an expert. As a trusted Microsoft partner with certified global expertise, Lenovo can help deploy, configure, and support the latest solutions so you can unlock all the benefits of Windows 11.
- Learn the system requirements. Review the basic and features specific requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC.
- Inventory your compatibility. Determine which devices in your network meet the minimum system requirements. Institutions will be able to move eligible PCs directly to Windows 11 using Windows Update for Business.
- Validate your applications. App compatibility isa core design tenet of Windows 11. For peace of mind, use Test Base for Microsoft 365 to test your applications in preview. If any compatibility issues arise, Microsoft App Assure will remediate them.
- Develop a rollout schedule. Keep the Windows 10 support deadline top of mind so you don’t risk running an unsupported OS. Start getting ready for Windows 11 as soon as you can and plan to complete your migration well before October 14, 2025. Lenovo Asset Recovery Services can help you realize potential value from your old technology assets, meet your institutional and environmental responsibilities, and comply with your internal security protocols.
