Windows 11 updates
Microsoft Windows 11 is available as a self-install upgrade through Software Center for compatible devices starting June 2, 2023.
All Windows 11 devices, including those that run the self-install upgrade, will also have their Microsoft Office suite upgraded to Microsoft Office 365. Microsoft Office 365 has been widely used on MiWorkspace devices and is suitable for nearly all Office 2016 use cases. If you have a business requirement to use Office 2016, your device will need to remain on Windows 10.
