Do you already know the new Windows 11?

 What's new in Windows 11

Six years after Windows 10 was introduced, Microsoft finally released Windows 11 on June 24, 2021. And it comes full of new features! According to the company's CEO, Satya Nadella, this will be one of the biggest updates of the decade.

This latest version of the operating system features a modern look and targets the gaming audience. We saved the best for last: if you have Windows 10, the upgrade to 11 will be free!

"At a time when the PC plays a central role in our lives, Windows 11 was designed to bring you closer to the things you love most," says Microsoft, referring to the months we spent at home teleworking, online classes, and social gatherings through video calls. It was with inspiration from this philosophy that Windows 11 was created. Read to the end to discover the biggest new features of the new software:

More modern look

The design was simplified to enhance users' productivity and creativity. Investment was made in a minimalist, modern, and transparent look. The menu buttons and taskbar icons are now centered, "to put the user at the center of the experience." The background also has a more appealing and current design.

Microsoft Store

One of the biggest innovations of Windows 11 is the ability to install mobile (Android) applications on the computer. This will allow content creators to edit and publish videos on social networks like Tik Tok and Instagram directly on the PC.

Gamers have not been forgotten! Mobile games can also be installed and transferred to Windows, as is the case with PUBG Mobile, one of the most well-known games in the world, having been installed more than 800 million times.

Microsoft shows a vision for the future, focusing on improving the user experience for younger generations.

More productivity

Microsoft focused on productivity with the new Windows, thus ensuring a very complete and practical work tool.

The software will allow you to use multiple windows at the same time and configure their arrangement on the screen. In the future, Windows will remember how the layout was and will reproduce it so you don't have to do it every time you turn on the computer.

Another new feature is the deep integration of Microsoft Teams in Windows 11. The group telework platform will be complemented with a new 100% customizable widget panel where you can set the most important items for quick viewing, such as weather, news, group chats, social networks, among others. This innovation could mean the death of Skype, which until now was the default in Windows.

Gaming

“If you are a gamer, Windows 11 is for you”, it can be read on Microsoft's website, in the features of the new software. As we said at the beginning, gaming was one of the major focuses of the new update - introduction of the Auto HDR system (ensuring better image quality), increased game speed, among many others.

Moreover, the Xbox Game Pass service will be available on Windows 11, providing the possibility to integrate Xbox games on the PC!

To give you a clearer idea of the design and new tools of the update, we leave you the introduction video of Windows 11, published by Microsoft!
