New Features of Windows 11

Microsoft's New Big Windows 11 Update is on the way.

Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 is launching on October 5 2021 as a free upgrade, with eligible devices being notified from them on.

Requirements :

  • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with at least two cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or SoC
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Storage: 64GB
  • System Firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable
  • TPM: Trusted Platform Module 2.0
  • Graphics Card: DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
  • Display: 720p, 8-bit per color channel, at least 9-inch diagonal
  • Internet Connection and Microsoft Account: Windows 11 Home requires an active internet connection and a Microsoft Account to complete initial, first-use setup of the operating system, or when switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S-mode.

Features :

  • A New interface : Clean design with rounded corners, pastel shades and a centered Start menu and Taskbar.

  • Integrated Android apps : Android apps will be coming to Windows 11

  • Widgets : Windows Widgets are back in Windows 11, accessible via the dock, with Microsoft touting AI-powered dynamic features that enable widgets, as with the Start menu, to change depending on the apps you're using and the time of day.

  • Microsoft Teams integration : Teams will be integrated directly into the Windows 11 Taskbar, making it easier to access.

  • Xbox tech for better gaming : Windows 11 will get certain features found in Xbox consoles, like Auto HDR and DirectStorage, to improve gaming on your Windows PC.

  • Better virtual desktop support : Windows 11 will let you set up virtual desktops in a way that's more similar to MacOS, toggling between multiple desktops for personal, work, school or gaming use.

  • Easier transition from monitor to laptop, and better multitasking : The new OS includes features called Snap Groups and Snap Layouts -- collections of the apps you're using at once that sit in the Taskbar, and can come up or be minimized at the same time for easier task switching.

This operating system is really great. I think that it is really worth buying this system, especially since it is at a really great price in this online store: royalcdkeys.com/products/windows-1...
