Top 6 Features of Windows 11

There are many interesting things and changes that are going to happen in the new release of Windows. Starting from Windows history Windows XP was great, then windows Vista was not great, but then Windows 7 was great. Windows 8 with the tiles not great Windows  10 great and now windows 11; this is Microsofts’ best chance to break that cycle, so we got a windows 11 reveal the newest next version of windows coming this holiday season. This is built to work well with touch screen devices because, shortly, there will be more touch screen devices.

List of new changes

  1. Design
  2. Start Menu
  3. Suggestions
  4. Microsoft Teams
  5. Multitasking
  6. Android Apps

 

 

  • Design

So, first of all, the whole aesthetic and look is refreshed and changed pretty dramatically, so we got this new design that can be described as very glassy like because there's a lot of shininess and transparency and glassy, translucent elements things happening through here like flat Window XP and then glassy Windows Vista, but of course now it's much brighter and lighter.

  • Start Menu

There is a new start menu in Windows 11, which is centered now by default to keep with the theme that Windows 11 should be the center of your ecosystem, but you can always move it back over to the left if you want, like the previous version, but yeah it has a glassy look.

                                           

  • Suggestions

It also now has suggestions for apps and documents that you recently opened and then shows similar apps and documents like on android you could swipe over to see a google discover page or Bixby page on Samsung or in iOS how you could swipe over to see a bunch of widgets with information or even on the Mac you could do this now on windows 11. You can swipe over like windows 8 start menu and desktop swiping and search swiping. There will be a series of widgets with certain information customized for certain apps so you can see things like weather, news, and social posts, and this can also be on full screen if you wanted to read that stories of news.

 

 

                                           

  • Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is built into Windows natively now. Microsoft owns Skype, and they bought Skype for 8.5 billion dollars to make Skype their default communicating app, but they may want to promote Microsoft Teams, where you can make video calls like other apps such as Zoom.

  • Multitasking

 

 

Now you hover over the maximize button, and you get all these new multi-window presets for people who work with multiple windows open all the time, and also Joanna Stern has written an awesome article over on the Wall Street Journal which you should read, in that she mentions on the off chance that you've at any point had an outside show with the external display on windows PC in the past it is irritating when you have a lot of stuff pleasantly spread out on that screen. Afterward, you unplug it, and all things showed up disappear, not any longer now they will remember their area on that screen, and when you unplug the screen, they'll all minimize, and when you plug that screen back in, they'll all return to where they were.

                                     

  • Android Apps

The biggest, most headline-worthy new feature from Windows 11 is that android apps can now run natively in Windows 11. There will be the availability of a bunch of apps now that we use on Android in our daily routine, and we also wish to use them on the desktop or the laptop for an enhanced experience and full screen. Whatever device runs Windows will be able to run the most popular and useful apps of Android, and this will be made possible through a collaboration between Microsoft and Amazon so that will be done by an indirect method of loading up 3rd party Amazon app store into the Microsoft Windows app store because Microsoft app store can not run the apps directly and this is all going to be rerun through Intel bridge technology from Joanna's Article she wrote that you'd search an app in Windows app store and then while downloading and installing the app you have to log in Amazon App store and then that app will be installed.

 

 

There are also a couple of other more interesting new system requirements, so there's a compatibility tool coming soon that people can use now to check if the PC they currently have will work with windows 11.
