Key notes
If you’re an admin in an organization, chances are you needed to install Windows 11 on the organization’s PCs.
You can, of course,use a lot of tools to sync the devices of your organization. But is there a solution to deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers at once?
In a Reddit thread, a user is asking the same thing, and the answers are varied, but definitely yes. You can deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers at once.
The thing is, which solution would be the best in this case? There are quite a lot of ways you can do that. However, every solution takes a certain time to complete, and what if you need to do it quickly? Follow our guide, and we’ll tell you what are your options when thinking about deploying Windows 11 to multiple computers at once.
Here’s how to deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers at once
Before we start, you should know that these solutions will take time, depending on what apps you have available, how much time, how many USB drives, and so on.
Deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers with Microsoft Intune
The most obvious way to deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers at once is through Microsoft Intune. The app should make it very easy for you to update your entire organization’s PCs at once, in an automated way.
That means you won’t really have to check every system, the updating will happen automatically after the restart, and you won’t need to worry.
However, there are prerequisites that you need to be aware of before trying Microsoft Intune.
First, your organization must have one of the following subscriptions for deploying feature updates in Intune:
Second, the devices in Intune should be running a supported version of Windows 10. They also must be enrolled in Intune MDM and be Hybrid AD joined or Azure AD joined.
Third, and most important of all, the device should meet the Windows 11 minimum requirements to upgrade to Windows 11 in Intune.
If your organization already uses Microsoft Intune, then you’re in luck. You will be able de deploy Windows 11 very easily.
Deploy Windows 11 to multiple computers with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
You can also try to deploy Windows 11 with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, which is afree tool that you can download from Microsoft.
You can also try the classic way of using multiple USB tools at once, but you will have to move a lot between computers, and it will take a lot of time.
If you’re dealing with 50 computers at once, as in the Reddit thread, the best solution is by far Microsoft Intune. Your organization should already run on it if it has Windows PCs already. MDT can be useful, but it can become very tiring, as the process is not entirely automated.
You can also check the Reddit thread for more unconventional solutions. You can use all sorts of third-party apps to clone images quickly. But if they’re not connected to a shared network, it will be very time-consuming to deploy Windows 11 on all of them.
