Overview
Mercor seeks professionals who already run Windows 11 Professional as their day-to-day desktop and can start work now. The role focuses on the operating system itself: Settings, File Explorer, window management, and the built-in system tools that power users, IT administrators, and desktop support teams rely on. You supply your own hardware and software; Mercor does not hand over licenses, virtual machines, or devices. Your screen setup must also capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, whether through one high-resolution monitor or two displays that combine into a single spanning image.
What You'll Do6
- Run Windows 11 Professional as your primary desktop system for each assignment.
- Work inside Settings, File Explorer, and window management to complete application tasks.
- Use built-in system tools that require deep Windows 11 Pro knowledge.
- Capture screenshots larger than 2.5 megapixels from your own display setup.
- Provide a single spanning image when you use two monitors side by side.
- Keep your own Windows 11 Pro license, hardware, and virtual machine setup ready without company support.
Requirements7
- Run Windows 11 Professional as your main desktop OS today.
- Own the hardware and software you use. Mercor provides no licenses, virtual machines, or devices.
- Capture screenshots with more than 2.5 megapixels.
- Use a single monitor that meets or exceeds a listed resolution, such as 2560x1440 QHD, 3840x2160 4K, or a MacBook Pro 14-inch or 16-inch built-in display.
- Or use two displays side by side captured as one spanning image.
- For dual monitors, two screens at 1920x1080 or higher qualify. A single 1080p screen alone does not meet the screenshot bar.
- Show hands-on experience as a power user, IT administrator, or desktop support professional.
Who Should Apply
Windows 11 Pro power users, IT administrators, and desktop support professionals fit this contract best if they already use that OS as their primary desktop and have a monitor setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels. Candidates who work on Windows 10, Windows 11 Home, or macOS as their main system will struggle unless they switch to Windows 11 Professional before applying. A single 1080p display also rules people out under the dual-monitor option, and a pair that includes one lower-resolution screen fails the spanning image test. Applicants often lose points when they rely on a virtual machine, expect Mercor to supply a license, or cannot name their exact screen resolution. The role suits independent professionals who own qualifying equipment and know Windows 11 Pro system tools well.
Salary Insight
The posting lists an hourly rate of $60.00 to $70.00. That range matches senior desktop support and Windows administration contract work, and it aligns with professionals who bring deep OS knowledge plus a qualifying high-resolution or dual-monitor setup.
