Windows 11 Pro for secure, capable business PCs
Equip a compatible PC with professional security, remote-access, virtualisation and management capabilities—delivered digitally for the device quantity selected above.
Move beyond the everyday Windows PC
Windows 11 Pro combines the modern Windows experience with features that address real business requirements: protecting data on mobile hardware, securely reaching an office PC, testing isolated environments and applying consistent settings across a growing team.
BitLocker management
Manage encryption for eligible internal and removable drives and maintain a documented recovery-key process.
Remote Desktop host
Connect to the Pro PC from another device when Remote Desktop and the surrounding network are securely configured.
Hyper-V and Sandbox
Create virtual machines and temporary isolated environments on compatible hardware for development, evaluation and testing.
Group Policy
Apply repeatable user, security, network and device settings with granular administrative control.
Domain and Entra join
Connect eligible devices to organisational identities, resources and management services.
Focused productivity
Use Snap Layouts, multiple desktops, tabbed File Explorer and multi-display workflows to organise demanding work.
Protect the device, identity and data in layers
TPM 2.0, UEFI and Secure Boot capability establish a modern hardware baseline. Windows Hello can reduce everyday reliance on reusable passwords. BitLocker, Windows Security, SmartScreen and Windows Defender Firewall add controls across data, applications and networks.
No operating system replaces disciplined administration. Keep Windows and drivers current, use least-privilege access, store BitLocker recovery information separately and maintain tested backups.
One platform for developers, consultants and administrators
Windows 11 Pro is well suited to professionals who need local virtualisation, isolated testing, secure remote access or organisational identity integration without moving immediately to an Enterprise-only licensing programme.
- Developers: run Hyper-V, Windows Sandbox, Windows Terminal and WSL-compatible workflows where supported.
- Remote professionals: host Remote Desktop sessions through an appropriately secured network design.
- IT administrators: use Group Policy, provisioning and business update controls to standardise endpoints.
- Power users: combine encryption, multiple desktops and advanced management tools on one professional PC.
