I've upgraded to Windows 11 while using Office 2019, and I'm happy to share my experience. Generally, Office 2019 is compatible with Windows 11, and I haven't faced any significant issues. Microsoft designed Windows 11 with compatibility in mind, keeping systems stable and minimizing any disruptions in typical productivity software.
In terms of performance, I noticed that both the operating system and Office applications run smoothly. The user interface changes in Windows 11 don't seem to affect the functionality of Office 2019, which felt consistent with running it on Windows 10.
One thing to be mindful of is checking for any available updates for Office 2019 after upgrading. Sometimes, Microsoft releases updates to ensure maximum compatibility and performance with newer operating systems. You can easily do this through the Office app itself or by using the Windows Update feature.
When doing the upgrade, I recommend backing up your data just to be on the safe side. Even though the process is straightforward, having a backup ensures your files and settings are preserved in case anything unexpected occurs.
If you're concerned about specific features or add-ins you use within Office 2019, it might be helpful to check if there are any known issues listed on Microsoft's support page or community forums.
Have you considered trying out Windows 11’s new features, like virtual desktops or Snap Layouts? They could enhance your productivity alongside using Office 2019. Let me know if you’re curious about any of these features, and I’d be happy to share more about them!
