Looking back at deployment of Windows 11 at Microsoft

Windows 11, built on the same foundation as Windows 10, came to us at a time when Microsoft needed to manage a distributed workforce. Historically speaking, it’s not easy to roll out a new operating system across an enterprise as large and complex as ours, but the similarities to Windows 10 meant Windows 11 could leverage existing deployment capabilities, scenarios, and tools. Utilizing these familiar tools and processes allowed us to deploy to 90 percent of eligible devices in five weeks, making the Windows 11 deployment the easiest and least disruptive release experienced to date.

“In nearly every way, Windows 11 Enterprise deploys just like any other Windows 10 feature update,” says Nathalie D’Hers, corporate vice president of Microsoft Digital Employee Experience, the organization that powers, protects, and transforms the company. “When you look at the data, our time to deploy, and the number of support contacts, Windows 11 is the most successful Windows deployment in our history.”
