What's New in Microsoft Windows 11

Microsoft has developed an esthetically modern user interface while holding the security of the computer system as a central priority in the everyday functionality of the newest version of Windows. 

In October 2025, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10. It is a good idea to transition to Windows 11 prior to that date.  Windows 11 has a higher hardware requirement than Windows 10 which may require you to purchase newer hardware.  To see the requirements visit this website from Microsoft.  You can consult with SCS Computing Facilities if needed about an upgrade to Windows 11 by submitting a ticket here.
