Don't overlook the importance of user readiness to deliver an effective, enterprise-wide
deployment of Windows 11. Windows 11 has a familiar design, but your users will see
several enhancements to the overall user interface. They'll also need to adapt to
changes in menus and settings pages. Therefore, consider the following tasks to prepare
users and your IT support staff Windows 11:
Create a communications schedule to ensure that you provide the right message
at the right time to the right groups of users, based on when they'll see the
changes.
Draft concise emails that inform users of what changes they can expect to see.
Offer tips on how to use or customize their experience. Include information about
support and help desk options.
Update help desk manuals with screenshots of the new user interface, the out-of-
box experience for new devices, and the upgrade experience for existing devices.
