One of the most significant advances in the Windows 11 ecosystem is the introduction of Windows 11 SE.

Windows 11 SE is a new cloud-first edition of Windows. It offers the performance and reliability of Windows 11 with simplified design and modern management tools that are used for low-cost devices in educational settings.

Windows 11 SE is also the first version of Windows purposely built for education. The target audience for these devices is K-8 students, based on the optimizations built into the operating system. As part of the development process, Microsoft consulted teachers, administrators, and IT staff to understand their top priorities for teaching younger students.
