Windows 11 is “the next generation of Windows,” Microsoft’s new operating system that will be released in fall 2021. The new system received a radically redesigned user interface and new features that are now being tested by Insiders using preview builds of Windows 11. Many changes are already known.
Feature:
Windows 11 is a series of PC operating systems produced by Microsoft as part of its Windows NT operating system family. It is the successor to Windows 10 and was released into production on July 15, 2015, and commercially on July 29, 2015. Windows 10 receives ongoing new versions that are available to users at no additional cost. Devices in enterprise environments may receive these updates more slowly, or take advantage of Long-Term Support milestones that receive only critical updates like security patches during their ten-year extended support lifespan.
One of the most notable features of Windows 11 is support for Universal apps, an extension of the Metro-like apps first introduced in Windows 10. Universal apps can be designed to run with nearly identical code across multiple Microsoft product families—including PCs, tablets , smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub, and Mixed Reality.
The Windows UI has been redesigned to allow transitions between a mouse-focused interface and a touchscreen-optimized interface based on available input devices—especially on 2-in-1 PCs, both interfaces include an updated Start menu that combines elements of the traditional Windows 7 Start menu with the tiles of Windows 8. Windows 10 also introduced the Microsoft Edge web browser, a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, support for fingerprint and facial recognition login, new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12.
