Here are a few of the standout new features in Windows 11:<\/p>\n
Windows 11 features a clean design with rounded corners, pastel shades and a centered Start menu and Taskbar.<\/p>\n
Android apps will be coming to Windows 11 via the Amazon Appstore, which will be accessible from within the updated Microsoft Store. There were a couple of ways to access Android apps on Windows 10, especially if you had a Samsung Galaxy phone, but this will make it native. (Note that Android apps will not be available upon the initial release of Windows 11.)<\/p>\n
While they\u2019ve been around for a while (remember desktop gadgets on Windows Vista?), including in a recent Windows 10 update, you can now access widgets directly from the Taskbar and personalize them to see whatever you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
Teams is getting a face-lift and is pinned on the Windows 11 Taskbar, making it easier to access (and a bit more like Apple\u2019s FaceTime). You\u2019ll be able to access Teams from Windows, Mac, Android or iOS.<\/p>\n
Windows 11 will get certain features found in Xbox consoles, like Auto HDR and DirectStorage, to improve gaming on your Windows PC.<\/p>\n
Windows 11 will let you set up virtual desktops in a way that\u2019s more similar to MacOS, toggling between multiple desktops for personal, work, school or gaming use. You can also change your wallpaper on each virtual desktop.<\/p>\n
The new OS includes features called Snap Groups and Snap Layouts \u2014 collections of the apps you\u2019re using at once that sit in the Taskbar, and can come up or be minimized at the same time for easier task switching. They also let you plug and unplug from a monitor more easily without losing where your open windows are located.<\/p>\n
You can download Windows 11 at Microsoft\u2019s official website here:<\/p>\n

If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install Windows 11 on your device and might want to consider purchasing a new PC. If you are unsure whether your PC meets these requirements, if your device is already running Windows 10, you can use the\u00a0PC Health Check app<\/a>\u00a0to assess compatibility. Note that this app does not check for graphics card or display, as most compatible devices will meet those requirements listed below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSystem requirements<\/h2>\n
Your device must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, to upgrade. Free updates are available through Windows Update in Settings>Update and Security. Please activate Windows 10 Pro with this key to proceed further with Windows 11 Update.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
