Help shape our Windows 11 update experience

Do you rely on specialist or business-critical software for teaching, research, or operational activities?

IT Services is looking for volunteers to join the Windows 11 Early Adopter Programme. Participants receive Windows 11 updates seven days ahead of the standard rollout, helping IT Services identify and resolve any issues before updates are released more widely. 

Taking part is simple: use your device as normal and report any unexpected problems you encounter after an update. 

Your participation will help IT Services to: 

  • Improve the reliability and security of Windows 11. 
  • Identify issues affecting specialist applications at an early stage. 
  • Increase confidence in the update process across Schools and Professional Services. 

This programme is intended for users of specialist or business-critical applications owned or purchased by Schools or Professional Services. Applications available through the Software Centre are not included, as they follow a separate testing and assurance process. 

If you would like to support this initiative, please complete the online form to express your interest.
