Install Windows 11 : The same methods you use to install Windows 10 can also be
used to install Windows 11. For example, you can deploy Windows to your devices
using Windows Autopilot, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), Configuration
Manager, and more. Windows 11 will be delivered as an upgrade to eligible
devices running Windows 10.

Windows Autopilot : If you're purchasing new devices, you can use Windows
Autopilot to set up and pre-configure the devices. When users get the device, they
sign in with their organization account (
user@contoso.com
). In the background,
Autopilot gets them ready for use, and deploys any apps or policies you set. You
can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, repurpose, and recover devices. Autopilot
offers zero touch deployment for admins.
If you have a global or remote workforce, then Autopilot might be the right option
to install the OS, and get it ready for use. For more information, see
Overview of
Windows Autopilot

Microsoft Intune is a mobile application management (MAM) and mobile device
management (MDM) provider. It helps manage devices, and manage apps on
devices in your organization. You configure policies, and then deploy these policies
to users and groups. You can create and deploy policies that install apps, configure
device features, enforce PIN requirements, block compromised devices, and more.
If you use Group Policy to manage your Windows 10 devices, then you can also
use Group Policy to manage Windows 11 devices. In Intune, there are
administrative templates
and the
settings catalog
that include many of the same
policies.
Group Policy analytics
analyze your on-premises group policy objects.
