Overview:
Like many other Operating Systems around the globe, Windows is one of the most popular OS. And its latest sequel is what we were waiting for. Made to adapt to different consoles. The all-new windows 11 features a better and all new UX, supports android apps, all new store and much more.
What’s new?
- Android apps:
With the new upgrade windows will support amazon store from which we can download all the mobile apps. I think this was the most awaited upgrade windows users wanted. Say no more to emulators with the all-new Windows 11. This will be also helpful for other consoles like mobile phones, Tablets, and touch screens.
- Visual Upgrade:
From straight borders we are going towards rounded corners. Not only this there will be more colorful icons. The start menu has been shifted to the center of the screen. Windows 11 will give us more swipe gestures than windows 10. It will allow windows to work on touch screens more effectively.
- The all-new calculator:
With rounded corners the calculator includes various new modes. The new calculator will include things like programmer mode, graphing mode, and support for over 100 units and currencies.
- Gaming Optimization:
Being the only PC OS windows 11 is designed for the best gaming experience. Auto HDR, a feature first included in Xbox Series X|S consoles, is now coming to Windows. The new Xbox app will allow you Xbox cloud gaming feature which is not there in windows 10.
- The New Microsoft Apps Store:
With the all-new apps store we will see big time apps to appear in the store. Another step to make the platform more touch friendly.
- Other Updates:
We will have an all-new snipping tool, Snap layout and virtual desktop. Hoping to see many other features as new updates arrive
