Why This Workshop Matters
- Have you recently migrated to Windows 11 but still feel more comfortable with Windows 10?
- Are you struggling to find your way around the Windows 11 settings tutorial for blind users?
- Do you want a step-by-step NVDA screen reader tutorial for Windows 11 to help you use the new features more confidently?
- Are you aware that Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025?
Microsoft launched Windows 11 in 2021 as its next-generation operating system. It’s built on the same foundation as Windows 10, making the transition smoother for users — but it also introduces a new Start Menu, redesigned File Explorer, improved Settings interface, and the removal of live tiles. These changes make the system faster, more secure, and more accessible — if you know how to configure it.
That’s exactly where our workshop comes in.
