Windows 11: The Total Aide for Amateurs
Windows 11 is now officially available for download worldwide. The new operating system now comes with a drastically new and fresh interface. In addition, Microsoft has released it as a free upgrade, which means users do not need to pay to upgrade.
Windows 11 offers three different UI variations, depending on the OS edition and version they are running or upgrading to; however, the old versions of Windows are still available too. We will take you through the features included in these editions below. There have been many ups and downs with this upgrade over previous releases of Windows but overall there’s no denying that it is an improvement of sorts, with more power than before.
Windows 11
Windows 11 starts by introducing a redesigned Start menu, known as Taskbar, making it easier for anyone who doesn’t use one of its alternatives to manage their browser usage (such as Chrome) or apps. It also brings with it improved access to your apps, including Microsoft Store, Maps, Outlook, Sharepoint, etc. Another major feature is Quicktime, allowing you to open games without having to worry about any glitches related to audio and video format. You’ll find those in every app you open on a device or a PC, which has some sort of play button in place of the usual media controls.
As far as productivity goes, it’s similar to Windows 10 and other Windows predecessors like Vista but with better accessibility, support and privacy options and greater control over your data. If you’ve ever used any third-party applications to edit PDF documents and spreadsheets, then you’re going to love all the benefits from what is being introduced here. Some of the newer integrations include OneDrive for Business, Office 365, Teams, Exchange Online Backup, Skype Web Clients and Google Drive for easy file sharing.
On top of Windows 11 improving the user experience further, there’s nothing more annoying than seeing clutter of windows windows for something you didn’t choose to open at first. This isn’t a problem with Windows 11 but rather the fact that all applications have their own home screen now. They are organized in such a way that everything you need to see is right there when you visit them and easily accessed. That means no more frantically swiping down to try and find what you need. All notifications have been moved into notification center where you can actually hear them. A lot of the customization can be done through settings menus, and if your preferences change, it feels even more comfortable. It’s not perfect yet and still needs work, but I think we’ll get there eventually.
Microsoft wants Windows 11 to become part of their ecosystem by working closely with OEMs and manufacturers so that people can continue using Windows 10 after upgrading. With Windows 11 you can expect faster boot times, fewer crashes, and smoother performance and multitasking. Whether you are an average user trying out the latest updates or planning a switch to Windows 11, you will never regret the decision you made here. Just don’t forget to set backup options for important files for extra safety.
The next version of the operating system is coming soon, and will probably be called Windows 12. So, if you want to upgrade to the stable release and avoid any possible issues or bugs, you should consider signing up for service updates soon. Also, while Windows 10 is still an ideal choice, it’s time to move onto Windows 11 and reap all the perks of its predecessor while keeping your system safe. Hopefully there won’t be glitches but if this happens then you shouldn’t worry because you know how to deal with them and keep your systems secure. Stay tuned!
