Windows 11 Administration is a hands-on course in looking after Windows 11 version 26H2, from planning, installing and migrating from Windows 10 to networking, disks and file permissions, management with PowerShell 7, security with the firewall and BitLocker, and system recovery. It suits IT staff, help desk teams and system administrators with a basic grounding in Windows and TCP/IP.
Windows 10 reached the end of support in October 2025, so most IT teams now look after Windows 11 machines first and foremost. Windows 11 itself changes quickly, with new features arriving in monthly updates, an annual release such as version 26H2, and older tools being removed, such as PowerShell 2.0 and WMIC. Administrators need to know how to install and migrate machines, configure networking and storage, and secure and recover devices when things go wrong.
This course builds a structured foundation in looking after Windows 11 version 26H2, from the update cycle, hardware checks, installing and upgrading from Windows 10 and post-installation settings to IPv4 and IPv6 networking, disks, volumes, file systems and permissions, management with PowerShell 7, troubleshooting and remote support tools, security with Windows Security, the firewall, BitLocker and newer features such as administrator protection, and recovery with the Windows Recovery Environment and quick machine recovery, finishing with a hands-on troubleshooting workshop. (3 days, 6 hours per day, 18 hours in total, Intermediate level.)
Course Details
This is the 2026 edition of the Windows Administration course. It runs for 3 days, 6 hours per day, 18 hours in total (09:00-16:00), hands-on in each learner's own virtual machines, at Intermediate level. The content moves from Windows 10 to Windows 11 version 26H2, released on 29 September 2026, and explains the status of 24H2, 25H2 and 26H1, which ships only on selected new devices. It adds Windows settings backup, PowerShell 7 and CIM in place of the removed PowerShell 2.0 and WMIC, built-in Sysmon, administrator protection, Smart App Control, point-in-time restore and quick machine recovery. Learners bring their own laptop and a Windows 11 evaluation or licensed ISO. Learners take home the course handbook, PowerShell scripts and device care checklists.

The latest annual release is Windows 11 version 26H2, which machines on 24H2 or 25H2 can install with a small enablement package because they share the same base. Version 26H1 is only for selected new devices, uses a different core and is not offered as an upgrade to existing machines. Most organisations therefore plan around 24H2, 25H2 and 26H2, checking each release's support period on Microsoft's Windows release health page.
BitLocker encrypts an entire drive, protecting data if a device or disk is lost or removed and read elsewhere. It usually works with the TPM, and the recovery key must be stored somewhere safe. EFS (Encrypting File System) encrypts individual files or folders on NTFS and is tied to a user account, so other users of the same machine cannot open them, and its certificate should be backed up. The two can be used together.
Start by entering the Windows Recovery Environment through Advanced startup, or let it open automatically after repeated failed boots, and try Startup Repair. If that fails, boot into Safe Mode to roll back the driver in Device Manager, or use System Restore to return to a restore point from before the problem. Recent Windows 11 releases also offer quick machine recovery, which looks for fixes in the cloud when a device cannot boot. For serious damage, use Reset this PC, which can keep personal files.
It suits IT and help desk staff who support users' machines, administrators moving machines from Windows 10 to Windows 11, and computer technicians. You should have experience of Windows on desktops, a basic understanding of TCP/IP and a laptop that can run a Windows 11 virtual machine. Some use of Command Prompt or PowerShell will help you learn faster.
You will be able to plan, install, upgrade and migrate machines from Windows 10 to Windows 11, configure IPv4, IPv6 and name resolution, manage disks, volumes, file permissions and shared folders, manage machines with PowerShell 7, troubleshoot with Event Viewer, Performance Monitor, Process Monitor and Quick Assist, secure devices with the firewall, BitLocker and EFS, and recover machines with Windows RE. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.
Yes. It can be run in-house for your IT team, with examples adapted to your own work, such as your standard device settings and the way your team handles support calls. You can request a quotation from this page, or contact us on LINE @itgenius or by phone on 02-570-8449.
Many people moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11 after Windows 10 reached the end of support in October 2025, yet they use only a small part of what it offers. Familiar menus are hard to find, arranging several windows feels clumsy, it is unclear whether files…
