Know Your Network
Before making any changes, you need to know exactly what you’re working with. That’s where auditing your current setup comes in. We'll show you how to do this step-by-step, so you’re not walking in blind.
Keep Everyone in the Loop
Upgrades can affect lots of departments, not just IT. This course shows you how to communicate with different teams in your organization, so everyone knows what's going on—and when. No last-minute surprises!
Support Team, Ready?
Once the upgrade begins, your IT helpdesk might get more support tickets than usual. We’ll cover how to prepare your support staff so they’re ready to handle the extra workload.
What to Do With Old Equipment
Got old laptops or desktops lying around? You’ll learn how to dispose of them safely and securely. This is super important for protecting your company’s data.
Real-Life Lessons
We’ll also share real-world examples of things that can go wrong—like unexpected hardware issues or software that suddenly stops working. Learning from these can save you a ton of trouble.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Every organization is different. While we’ll guide you through the basics, the actual process might vary depending on your internal rules and systems. And yes, we’ll talk about those exceptions—like older software (hello, manufacturing and healthcare tools) that might not play nice with Windows 11.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is designed for technical staff who are involved in planning and carrying out network upgrades—especially those preparing to move to Windows 11.
Whether you're new to upgrades or just need a refresher, we’ve got you covered.
