# User Experience with Windows Enrollment

> Walk through the Windows enrollment experience step by step. See what users encounter when enrolling a Windows device in Iru Endpoint via Settings.

<Callout icon="microsoft" color="#B84A7A" iconType="regular">This guide applies to Windows devices</Callout>

This guide walks you through enrolling your Windows device with your organization's device management system. Windows management uses Microsoft's MDM framework combined with the Iru Agent for app management and inventory. If your IT team issued an **Enrollment Portal link** and **Enrollment code**, follow this article. Devices deployed with **Windows Autopilot** complete enrollment during initial Windows setup instead; ask your administrator which path applies.

<Note>
  As of **April 8, 2026**, apps were updated from **Kandji** <img className="inline dark:hidden" src="https://mintcdn.com/iru/20OhJ3wZmF4DKbOd/assets/media/images/kandji-bee-light-icon.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=20OhJ3wZmF4DKbOd&q=85&s=3ac73eb9098c090ac2838a4902a70e35" alt="" style={{ height: '1em', width: 'auto', maxHeight: '1em', verticalAlign: '-0.125em', margin: '0 0.05em' }} width="400" height="284" data-path="assets/media/images/kandji-bee-light-icon.png" /><img className="hidden dark:inline" src="https://mintcdn.com/iru/20OhJ3wZmF4DKbOd/assets/media/images/kandji-bee-dark-icon.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=20OhJ3wZmF4DKbOd&q=85&s=1d4b643c8e1903aabdb072fdf211f2de" alt="" style={{ height: '1em', width: 'auto', maxHeight: '1em', verticalAlign: '-0.125em', margin: '0 0.05em' }} width="400" height="284" data-path="assets/media/images/kandji-bee-dark-icon.png" /> to **Iru** <img src="https://mintcdn.com/iru/8j4H0SpqtcKJ5JUM/assets/media/svgs/Iru-Logomark-OnLight-16-Dashboard.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=8j4H0SpqtcKJ5JUM&q=85&s=befa6ce99e1df18d397deb65aec8edaf" alt="" style={{ display: 'inline', height: '1em', width: 'auto', maxHeight: '1em', verticalAlign: '-0.125em', margin: '0 -0.08em 0 0', padding: 0 }} width="14" height="15" data-path="assets/media/svgs/Iru-Logomark-OnLight-16-Dashboard.svg" /> branding when you enroll your Windows device, including in the **Enrollment Portal**. The **Self Service** app name changed from **Kandji Self Service** to **Iru Self Service**. If a link, screen, or instruction still refers to Kandji, use the updated enrollment link or follow the steps your IT team provides.
</Note>

<Note>
  As of **April 8, 2026**, manual enrollment portal branding has transitioned to Iru. For more information, see [Iru Brand Update](/en/iru/platform-overview/iru-brand-update).
</Note>

## What to Expect

When you enroll your Windows device, it will be connected to your organization's management system through Microsoft's MDM framework. The Iru Agent will be installed to handle application management. This allows your IT team to:

* Deploy, upgrade, and uninstall company applications and software
* Apply security policies and settings
* Configure network access (Wi-Fi, VPN)
* Monitor device compliance and gather application inventory

Your personal data remains private and won't be affected by the enrollment process.

## Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

* **Enrollment Portal link** - provided by your IT team
* **Enrollment code** - provided by your IT team
* **Work or school account** - your organization email and password
* **Local administrator rights** - on the Windows device you're enrolling
* **Microsoft Edge browser** - You'll need Microsoft Edge to enroll your Windows device

<Note>
  You need local administrator rights on the device to complete enrollment. If you don't have these rights, contact your IT team for assistance.
</Note>
