Over the past decade, our Microsoft Digital Employee Experience team, the organization that powers, protects, and transforms employee experiences, has worked closely with teams such as the Windows product group to improve how it runs Microsoft’s updates, upgrades, and deployments.

What made the deployment of Windows 11 a success?

The rollout of Windows 11 at Microsoft was our most streamlined to date, frictionlessly delivering employees the latest operating system in record time. However, with established practices and evolved solutions in hand, historical obstacles became just that-a thing of the past. Introducing a new operating system, especially across a distributed workforce, naturally led to questions about device downtime and app compatibility. Our priority in rolling out Windows 11 internally was to provide employees uninterrupted access to a safe and productive workspace while giving them a chance to try out the new operating system.
