Microsoft 365 Laptop Setup with Entra ID and Windows 11 Pro

Set up two new business laptops with Microsoft 365 and upgraded both systems to Windows 11 Pro. Added a new Microsoft 365 user and upgraded two users to Microsoft 365 Premium licensing.

Configured Microsoft Authenticator, email and SMS verification for secure sign-in, and connected both laptops to the organisation’s Microsoft Entra ID environment.

Completed an initial SharePoint setup and identified several items requiring follow-up, including moving files from personal OneDrive accounts into the business OneDrive and SharePoint environment. The customer was also provided with a list of preparation tasks before the next visit, including working with their accountant to determine the preferred business folder structure.

Additional Microsoft account and configuration issues were troubleshooted during deployment, with further updates and follow-up work planned to complete the setup.
