You can now upgrade your computer to Windows 11 – Microsoft’s latest Operating System (OS). Windows 11 will help improve your computer’s performance, security and will provide you with access to new features.
A pop-up message will appear on your computer (pictured below) requesting that you upgrade your computer to Windows.
This upgrade will help improve your computer’s performance and security and will provide access to new features.
When the pop-up message appears, please select Run. This will install the necessary files on your computer to start the upgrade without impacting on your computer’s performance.
Once the files have been installed, a further pop-up message will prompt you to restart your computer for the upgrade to Windows 11 to begin.
Please note: the upgrade may take up to one hour to complete, so please start it at a time which will not impact on your day-to-day duties.
You can delay the start of the upgrade for up 21 days from the first prompt. After this time, the upgrade will happen automatically.
How do I upgrade to Windows 11 manually?
To do this, please select the ‘App Installer’ icon on your computer’s desktop screen (icon pictured below).
To start the upgrade, select the ‘Upgrade to Windows 11’ option (pictured below) and click ‘Update’.
What if the upgrade is not available on your computer?
If the Windows 11 upgrade is not available on your computer, a member of the NHS Informatics Merseyside team will contact you directly.
