Windows 11

The launch of the next big Windows update is the talk of the town in 2021, even from before Microsoft unveiled details about its new features in the month of June. And here we are in October with Microsoft releasing Windows 11 to the public.

Please keep in mind that your device must meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, as listed on this page. Alternatively, you can use the PC Health Check application from Microsoft or a similar third-party application to test the compatibility of your system with Windows 11.

Features of Windows 11

• Brand-new user experience with a revamped user interface


• New design with a simpler and cleaner look


• Centered taskbar with a new color palette


• Enhanced File Explorer with simplified toolbar


• New Windows 11 widgets with AI-powered functionality

User Interface and Design

The new design is simpler and cleaner, with a new color palette, rounded item geometry, and multiple desktops to work with. The taskbar is centered and the button of the main menu is placed in the middle as well, building up a layout that might remind you of the macOS dock.

File Explorer

The new look and feel of the File Explorer ditches the ever-popular ribbon and replaces it with a much more simplified toolbar that includes small icons to help you carry out basic tasks. Additional options are available in the three-dot menu for managing and mapping network drives.

Windows 11 Widgets

Enjoy new widgets powered by AI functionality that can change based on the time of day and your usage habits. Widgets include the news feed, weather forecast, financial market reporting, and more.

Microsoft Store

The new Microsoft Store app provides support for Android apps and allows access to Amazon Appstore apps. Developers can populate the Store marketplace with their apps and games.
