For devices running Windows 8, you first need to run the free upgrade to Windows 10.

You can use the identical tools and follow the same workflows to manage both operating systems. You can monitor PCs, confirm application compatibility, and streamline Windows 11 deployments with the same tools you use with Windows 10. This ability to support a consistent management solution facilitates Windows 11 upgrades.
