MGH Institute and MGB policy is that windows devices run Windows 11 Professional. If you are on the “Home” edition of Windows, you will need to upgrade to the Pro version. The Windows Pro version is used to leverage Microsoft’s encryption software Bitlocker which isn’t available on “Home” edition.
To check your version of Windows, start by opening the settings app on your device by searching for it in the search bar along the bottom of the screen.
Choose “System”
Choose “About”
Look in the “Windows Specifications” section for information about your version of windows.
If you are on the Window 11 “Home” you will need to upgrade your device to Windows “Pro” to use your device within the IHP/MGB network.
Microsoft charges a one-time payment of $99 plus tax for the upgrade. This is not a subscription. You will only need to pay once. Please upgrade your device before you continue.
