Microsoft Windows 11 is now available for download |
Microsoft has released Windows 11 worldwide as a free update for Windows
10 users. Panos Panay, Windows Product Manager, said the latest version
is designed to give users a clean, fresh and clean design.
Banai promises that the new operating system will not be very different from what people are used to. He added that even the least technical users can easily upgrade.
He said that experienced users tested it extensively with the Windows Insider Beta and were confident there was no problem, adding that the upgrade is now ready.
The system includes major changes in design as well as changes in the way it operates. By default, the Start menu is in the middle of the screen and the icon is in the system tray.
When you click on it, the Start button opens a list of frequently used applications. Its appearance mimics in some ways the list of smartphone apps. Microsoft has abandoned the Windows 10 start menu boxes.
Banay said the team learned how to completely get rid of the Start menu from Windows 8, which annoys many users. System interface development includes computer usage monitoring
When Windows 10 came out, Microsoft announced that it was the final version of the system. But this has clearly changed. “We are now in a new era of personal computers,” Banai said.
The entire operating system design focuses on rounded corners and simplifies most menu and folder screens. There are new and improved ways to arrange windows and combine them into a grid.
Windows 11 marks a new era for PC
Widgets were the best-selling selling point for Windows Vista in 2007 and they're making a comeback. But instead of floating around the screen, it's in the left sidebar and is linked to Microsoft services as well.
There are more profound changes to the user interface and design. System integration with Microsoft Teams and Xbox plays an important role in promoting the company.
The Microsoft Store - the Windows version of the App Store - has been completely redesigned to enable you to sell third-party apps yourself without having to invest a lot of money.
One of the new features is that Windows 11 runs Android smartphone apps through the Amazon App Store.
Early users reported that the search function included in the new version is noticeably faster on most devices. However, Microsoft-owned services are preferred when providing web results.
For gamers, the company promises that the new graphics card direct storage technology will allow access to the storage drive without the need for a CPU, which will reduce game load time.
As a result, not all computers will see all the potential benefits of an upgrade, and some devices may not be upgraded. The minimum requirements include a security chip called a TPM that is installed on modern devices.
If your device does not meet these requirements, the company said, you may not be able to install Windows 11 and may need to purchase a new PC.
But Windows 10 users don't need to change if their PC is still working. Windows 10 will continue to be supported and receive security updates until October 2025.
