Windows 11 Introduced: Sharing What’s Changed

The American corporation Microsoft has presented a completely new version of its Windows 11 operating system.

Windows 10 users will be able to upgrade to the new version for free

Windows 11 was the product of a merger between Windows 10 and Windows 10X, which had been developed for years for foldable devices, but recently it was revealed that its development was stopped. Many features of the new system have been carried over from Windows 10X.

Of course, the main change in Windows 11 was the updated system interface. The Start menu is now in the middle of the taskbar, much like macOS. The “Start” itself has also been redesigned – the tiled interface has disappeared from it, now when you open there you can find frequently used applications and programs, a list and search by programs. The widget panel has also changed, which has become more informative and customizable. The widgets themselves, like all elements of the system, began to have rounded edges.

Microsoft promises that Windows 11 is much faster than its predecessor. In addition, the system itself now takes up 40% less memory space, which will definitely please users of computers with SSD and HDD disks of small capacity. But the most important thing is that Windows 11 updates will now come in the background and install without user intervention, that is, you no longer have to restart your PC to install the arrived system update.

Windows 11 will only run on PCs that have at least 4GB of RAM, a 64-bit processor, and a DirectX 12-capable graphics card. 

Windows 11 will be available to all Windows 10 users as a free upgrade in early 2022. And at the end of June, members of the Windows Insider program will be able to try it.

The fact that Microsoft is delaying the release of Windows 11 for six months shows that the system is still raw and not ready to go to the masses.
