Windows 11: New, release date, all about Microsoft’s new OS

Windows 11 opens a new era for Microsoft. If this iteration has been presented as the continuity of Windows 10, it still brings its share of major new products. The most visible is obviously its design, which starts from scratch. In this file, we will take stock of everything there is to know about the bone.

Windows 11: Microsoft finally removes this painful behavior that affects all users

Windows 11 is available. This is the new version which, as its name suggests, succeeds Windows 10 (released in 2015).

The operating system gives pride of place to a new design, with its icons of the centered taskbar, its windows with rounded edges, its new widget system, etc. But these are not the only changes that Microsoft brings to Windows 11. One of the biggest novelties also lies in its native management of Android games and applications, which opens the doors to an even richer, even more powerful ecosystem. Beta-tters registered in the Insider program can already enjoy Android 13. The others will have to be satisfied with Android 12, whose performance does not have to be ashamed of those of Tiramisu.

That’s not all, because technological innovations within Windows 11, there are in every corner, as we will see here.

We have listed and analyzed All the new features of this edition of the bone. And we have tried to answer the various questions that such a change implies: what are the major contributions of Windows ? Windows 10 will he disappear ? The new OS is free as its predecessor for those who already have a license from the old version ? On the way for the most complete overview as possible regarding Windows 11.

What are the new features of Windows 11 ?

Windows 11 was not revolutionary when it was released, the OS having been thought from the start as in the continuity of Windows 10. However, the Update Windows 11 Moment 2 of February 2023 offers direct access to Bing directly from the taskbar. The search engine is now taking advantage of Chatgpt, the artificial intelligence developed by Openai. Microsoft wants this chatbot to become your co -pilot on a daily basis: he can answer your questions, do research or even generate content, directly from the office. Here is the list of other interesting news.

Windows 11 – We compare the official version with Windows 10

In this folder, we have drawn up the list of new products that appear in this new version of Windows. It is recalled that it is possible to test all the new features of Windows 11 in preview by joining the Insider program. The latter offers four different channels for posting Windows updates. The most experienced Windows users, those who want to take preview of advanced features, but also in development so more unstable for the system, will fit into the brand new Canary Canary for Windows 11. Advanced users will be able to test Windows on the DEV channel, while others may have a taste of future bone updates through beta channels, or release preview. From now on, be aware that Microsoft even allows users to give priority to their PC to receive updates first, practical to test new features in advance.

1. Windows 11 can start Android applications

It is one of the most important new features in Windows 11: The operating system is now able to launch applications and games from the Android world. For this, Windows 11 needs a little boost from Linux, but the opening on the google bone dedicated to smartphones and tablets should considerably increase the Windows software library, while establishing a bridge between two ecosystems.

Android applications for Windows 11 are accessible from the Microsoft Store, while going through theAmazon AppStore. Google announces that its play store will be entitled to a PC version from 2022. It is also possible to install APK files, and therefore to get rid of the Android store of Amazon.

Second good news: the compatibility of Android applications with Windows 11 does not depend on the CPU. Whether you have an Intel, AMD or ARM processor, you can launch Android games and apps on Microsoft’s OS. We have nevertheless concocted a small tutorial if your PC ever meets the necessary conditions.

Via the July 2022 update, Microsoft has further improved Android support, notably adding an advanced network support which allows applications to access local devices for ARM equipment. In addition, IPv6 and VPN connectivity are also part. Then, in August, the Android games received a very special care by integrating better medium for the keyboard.

Since December 2022, Windows 11 now supports Android 13 in Preview, thanks to an update of the Windows subsystem for Android (WSA). According to Microsoft, one of the big improvements in the Android 13 update allows Windows 11 inOpen applications up to 50 % faster than before. There is also an improvement in the entry of the mouse click and the stability of the clipboard, and improvement of the applications of applications.

Note also that several indices suggest that Windows 10 would also be able to launch Android applications in a next update. Likewise, Xbox (One and Series X/S) could also do it. For the moment, none of this is confirmed, therefore prudence.

2. A new menu start to the agenda

If Microsoft did not fully revamp Windows 11 compared to Windows 10, as was the case with Windows 8 in 2012, Significant changes have still been brought to the bone. We can see it upon arrival on the desk, which was revamped. Here, Microsoft has kept the same principle as always. No alternative tiles or home, we have pure juice windows, but more beautiful.

The first major modification of the OS concerns the start menu. As shown in the capture below, All the icons of the taskbar are now located in the center, and not on the left of the screen. This is also the case with Windows icon, that allows you to call the Start menu. And when we click on it, we immediately notice that The “Fleet” menu above the Windows icon, While under Windows 10, the menu was attached to it. Note that in the options, it is possible to glue all the icons to the left, as before.

THE start menu To him too changed his disposition. His shortcuts are presented in two very distinct categories:

• The first category, located at the top of the start menu, consists of shortcuts which identify “pinned” applications. It’s up to you to pin them or delete them, as you usually do with the icons of the taskbar. This action was already on Windows 10, but these icons were located in the right frame of the start menu, as revealed by the above capture.
• The second section, located on the lower part of the start menu, concerns newly installed applications, updates, and recently viewed files. These icons are in a framework entitled “Our recommendations”.

Pinned icons (as part of the top, therefore) can be deleted or moved from a right right click. As for the shortcuts appearing in the “our recommendations” list (as part of the bottom, therefore), it is possible to erase them, to open their directory in the file explorer, to launch them using the browser, etc. In reality, this operation does not drastically change Windows 10, but it is more fluid, more natural.

It should be noted that for the moment, it is not possible to personalize the arrangement of these pinned software. However, it will be possible to do so in a next update. Thus, you can put your software pinned on four lines instead of three, or only two. Of course, recommended software will have more or less space accordingly.

In addition, the start menu now incorporates a search bar, as shown in the screenshot above. Enough to launch a local or online request as quickly as possible. This function allows you to find the research field as we knew it under Windows 10 and which was accessible from the taskbar. And lately, Microsoft has added a new “Connection options” tab in the Windows 11 Start menu, which offer more choice for the user concerning Windows 11 connection.

3. The taskbar is also a facelift

Just as it was possible to customize in all directions the Taskbar of Windows 10, it is possible to Totally customizing that of Windows 11. But rather than resorting to menus and submenus as shown in the capture below, Microsoft has decided to make the cascade menus disappear and group everything in a single option. When you click on the function Taskbar settings, We then open the parameter application. Consequently, it is possible to fully customize the taskbar via the parameters.

That said, let’s go back to the other news in the taskbar. The field of research has also disappeared, To make room for an icon (a magnifying glass). Nevertheless, Microsoft now offers several alternative options to replace the latter. There, we have access as under Windows 10 to a window allowing you to search locally or on the web, to consult the top of applications, to launch a specific request in folders, music, photos, videos, etc. Note that the company continues to try more or less conclusive experiences with this new “search” menu. If the Tuesday patch of April 2023 is an indicator of the management that the OS takes, it is more and more likely that this tool will become a real advertising insert aimed at promoting Microsoft’s services and applications. Note, however, that Nothing is engraved in marble, And that the Redmond firm is well aware of the annoyance of this kind of forced “product placement”.

While she is trying to impose, not so subtly that, Edge as a default browser, the company recently rear machine. While before it was the house browser that opened when you click on a link to open a PDF, now it is the browser of your choice that will display the file in question.

Another interesting novelty: the function News and fields of interest, integrated into the Windows 10 build 21h1, is now in the form of a Widget. Therefore, Windows 10 no longer constantly displayed the temperature on the icon in question. On the other hand, rather than displayed in a small setting located to the right of the screen, the interests, the sporting results, the price of the stock market and the weather is now arising In a window to the left of the screen.

This occupies half of the screen and turns out to be much more visible (and readable) than the somewhat ridiculous frame, located at the bottom right of Windows 10. Finally, the fact that Microsoft titled this “Widgets” section augurs for other small modules which can come to add to it. A reorganization of this section is underway, and users registered on the Preview channel of the insider program of Microsoft can find that the advanced widgets are distributed on three columns, which makes them much more readable and exploitable on a large screen . As always, the information displayed will adapt to your habits and centers of interest. It is even possible to add parental control if you are an administrator. For example, a widget can tell you who has used the PC, where and how long. Microsoft has also given developers the possibility of requesting new permission from users: that of pinning their application at the taskbar.

The menu hidden to the right of the taskbar has also been revised, with a more rounded design. Its use remains the same as on Windows 10. However, it should soon lose the ability to be changed directly via the window. A choice of Microsoft to optimize this taskbar, especially in tablet mode. It will always be possible to modify this hidden menu via the settings.

In a next update, Microsoft will slightly modify the taskbar. Thus, it will no longer have icons limit. When it arrives at saturation, it will display a floating menu (in the form of three small points) which will host the new pinned applications. A novelty welcome for those who like to pile up the icons. Regarding icons, always, Microsoft gives us the possibility of displaying the names of the applications next to the logo in the taskbar, and in the same order of ideas, if you have two instances of the same open application, Windows He will separate their tabs as if they were two different programs rather than pile them up. This very practical feature was present in Windows 10 and therefore returns here.

Animated widgets will also appear in the lower left corner.

Finally, this taskbar adapts to the touch format. Arès having abandoned them with Windows 10, Microsoft again tries to seduce tablets users with suitable navigation. On a tactile slate, the taskbar juggles between two appearances. When you use it, you will see large icons adapted to the touchscreen and with a simpler design. Otherwise, it will be limited to the bare minimum, displaying only important information such as battery or connection. This will allow more space on the screen. An interesting innovation, but synonymous with headache for Microsoft. Indeed, each modification must adapt as well to the touchdown as to the mouse and the slightest change creates conflicts. This is why drag and drop is still not present on this bar.

For the moment, this suitable taskbar is not yet available for everyone. Microsoft has indeed had difficulties with it, to the point of removing it from the beta to rework it. It is again deployed for insiders and should arrive for ordinary people with the big fall of autumn 2022.

4. The Microsoft Store offers a big facelift

Formerly called Windows Store, the Microsoft Store is paid for a little facelift. The platform, which allows you to download applications and update them, also offers a “gaming” part and another dedicated to “entertainment” (films, series, etc.)). The graphic overhaul of the blind allows you to find your way more easily between each category, consult and download an application faster than before. The Microsoft Store also welcomes Win32 applications, Downloadable in format .ex or .MSI. There are therefore very popular software, such as VLC, Winzip, Zoom, Acrobat Reader, etc.

However, it should be noted that everything is not yet perfect on this new version. Indeed, many users have spotted bugs and things that are missing. For example, it is impossible to see the version number of an application. A forgetfulness on the part of Microsoft which will soon be corrected via an update. Other oments and interface concerns will also be resolved in the future.

Note also that Microsoft has made several changes to Microsoft Store in August 2022 via a new bone preview of the OS. First of all, it is possible to see screenshots in the search results in the blind, while it is no longer necessary to pass via the Xbox application to install a game on Windows 11.

5. Windows and icons change their look

When you launch Windows 11 for the first time, you can’t help but notice some major changes in the interface. All windows now have rounded edges. And it does not matter that these are the windows of the explorer, those of the parameters, the news widget and centers of interest, or the many applications that you may have to install: the rounded edges are.

THE icons of Windows take advantage of a little youthful. We had already been able to have an overview through a preversion of Windows 10, it is now acted for Windows 11. The file explorer thus benefits from new icons.

L’File explorer Enjoy a makeover in the finalized version of Windows 11. The explorer ribbon, although still present, has been simplified and knows how to be more discreet. However, he always offers the same interactions as before. These are just clearer.

This file explorer will continue to improve over time. Indeed, A new version was included with the big update of October 2022. It has an improved left banner to better navigate, but also tabs, as on an internet browser. Furthermore, this version has the advantage of being much less greedy in resources. Indeed, the first returns evoke only 1 MB of RAM for each open tab. It is much less than before where the CPU had to independently calculate each open window. This iteration is also much more practical to use than the previous one.

But this is not the only improvement in the file explorer. Microsoft has been working for a little while in better management of the application and its various components. Who has never railed against the explorer who is unexpectedly blocked, and which therefore blocks other elements of the bone, such as the taskbar or the notification center ? Microsoft has found the solution to this thorny problem: thus, by separating certain processes, the explorer should offer better stability and more stability to Windows 11.

Microsoft even prepares a complete overhaul of the file explorer for the end of 2023. The update will focus on improving the visual aspect and a Best integration of OneDrive and Microsoft 365. The new file explorer will for example have a redesigned toolbar, combined with an address and search bar, and the action buttons will change their place. As its name suggests, the “Add Photos of the phone” function will allow you to transfer photos of your smartphone directly to the operating system gallery by scanning a QR code. Another significant improvement in the file explorer.

6. Windows can now be positioned more easily

So far, when we wanted Readcate all Windows desktop windows, It was necessary to click using the right button on the taskbar, and select one of the following options: Cascade, display stacked windows, display the windows side by side or display the desktop. This era is now over since, as mentioned above, the taskbar has only one option dedicated to its own settings.

But then, where the window manager and its display possibilities under Windows 11 have gone ? Microsoft has decided to place them directly in applications and explorer windows, and it’s pretty smart. By leaving the small cursor to the icon that allows you to open a window on the whole screen, A new menu of icons appears. Thanks to him, we can now place a window on the left, right, rather down, rather down, in a “frame” of 4 windows … In short, more possibilities are offered to you about the arrangement of windows. A small detail that changes life, even if the good old method of sticking a window in a corner always works.

Note that this feature will soon evolve. Indeed, new animations and improvements are planned in a next update that insiders can already try. On the menu of new products, a miniature of the application that you are pinning or even greater fluidity in the way of placing the windows.

7. The Settings menu is a beauty

The Settings menu is still present on Windows 11, but knows some changes compared to its previous version. Overall, we have access to the same things and the organization is identical, with two or three details. However, navigation was reviewed. We now have a menu in the form of lists, so exit the icons on a white background:

The settings also allow you to personalize your Windows experience. This is already the case in the 10, but the options are more numerous here. Thus, different predefined themes can be chosen. Each of them offers its colors, its effects, its small particularities. Of course, everything can be customized to envy. A huge job was also done On transparency effects in order to make the bone as readable as possible.

The Dark Mode was also completely revised. The contrasts and the different gray levels have been redesigned by 0 Compared to Windows 10 which made the minimum union in this segment. It is no longer simply a visual gadget added to the classic interface, since the bone has been developed around, which gives a much more harmonious result. The detail has been pushed extremely far, since even the sound design is softer if you go into dark mode. It is also for Microsoft a way of making people benefit from the visually impaired.

Always in personalization, Windows mode in the front page will soon be deployed by default on the OS. This feature, which already exists on the locking screen, will allow you to change regular and automatically wallpaper. These will be images selected by Microsoft that will be highlighted and those who wish to have details on the place of the photo. Windows on the front page should arrive in the course of the year for everyone, around October, according to estimates.

At the outlet of Windows 11, it was long and tedious to change the default browser, since it had to be done for all formats. A strategy that aimed to discourage my least informed users, and therefore forced them to use Edge. Since then, things have changed, since it is now possible to change the default browser in one click.

In addition, Microsoft continues to complete the Windows 11 settings by testing a tab called “Sustainability”(“ Sustainability ”), which aims to advise the user on the means to increase the lifespan of his PC. It will thus be possible to configure energy saving parameters, as well as learn more about the ways of recycling your computer. Still in an eco -responsible approach, Windows will also detect the periods when PC is powered by renewable energies to install its next updates.

It is also now possible to manage your different accounts in the settings. For the moment, only the management of your Office subscription is available, but the Game Pass will arrive in the October update. It will therefore no longer be necessary to go through the site to pay, unsubscribe or change offers.

Microsoft also seeks to simplify things. Currently, the Redmond firm seeks to replace its famous Media Creation Tool by integrating it directly into the Settings menu. In doing so, the resolution of bugs will be much more simply for less experienced users.

Finally, and it’s important to emphasize it, the good old Configuration panel is still there. However, Microsoft intends to get rid of it. Indeed, several options have already found their way to the parameters, and the list grows over the updates. The Build 22509, in particular, has sunk the nail by migrating network parameters to the new application.

8. The context menu becomes much clearer

When you click using the right button On an element of the desktop or explorer (a file, a folder, a disk unit, etc.), a Contextual menu appears. It’s not new, it has existed for over 25 years under Windows. On the other hand, this famous menu has so far had the annoying tendency to increase according to the installed applications and the possibilities of the operating system.

Windows 11 makes the right click menu much clearer and more reliable. Only a small amount of options is now displayed by default. To consult the list of all possible functions on an element of the file explorer or the desktop, it is necessary to click on display more options. Admittedly, this novelty implies additional handling to reach the desired function.

On the other hand, it offers a less “clutter” contextual menu when a large number of applications are installed on the PC, applications which can add as many right -click options as they wish. The menu gains in efficiency, clarity, but also in stability. Finally, note that the context menu also gains shortcut buttons (they are located at the top). These buttons allow, depending on the case, to cut-paste an element, to rename it, to delete it, etc. It is still not in its final version, since the last update has for example reduced its dimensions.

Not everything is perfect. This menu is more delicious in resources and some users complain that he is tinking. Microsoft works on the subject and promises a more stable version in a new build for the moment intended for developers. It will also be possible to display the “old” contextual menu by making update + right click. This will allow the user to have more options directly without necessarily clicking on the appropriate icon.

9. Skype disappears in favor of a new “cat” application based on Microsoft Teams

It’s a little surprise: Skype is not installed by default. Windows 11 has replaced Skype with Microsoft Teams. Microsoft established the following observation: Following the Pandemic of COVID-19 and the multiple confinements which followed, The use of Microsoft Teams has made a prodigious leap around the world.

The application has more than 145 million active users per day. Enough to make Skype jealousy pale, which struggled last year to bring together 40 million daily users. On this subject, Microsoft ensures that the integration of teams into Windows 11 will not pose a legal problem, in particular with competition. Note that Microsoft puts a lot on Teams in the future, that it intends to impose in the long term in the business world. The firm also pampers its users in this direction and even uses this platform to test things. For example, it is on this that the Clipippy mascot made its comeback via a sticker pack.

A new application called “Cat”And launched in May 2021 entered Windows 11. Placed in the taskbar, it allows you to quickly access your contact list, respond or send messages or launch a search in the discussions. But it is behind a light version of Microsoft Teams that is hidden behind this new application. In short, the “Chat from Microsoft Teams” application which is delivered with Windows 11 wants to be lighter and above all larger public.

For now, Skype should not disappear Completement, since it is always possible to install it via the Microsoft Store or in the form of application X86. There will also remain the prerogative of Windows 10, the time it remains to live in this bone. It is however a change of size for the software that Microsoft acquired ten years ago and that the company always pushed on the front of the stage, not hesitating to abandon MSN, its old system of messaging.

Note also that the Internet Explorer has been deleted from Windows 11. This is a historical step in the history of the browser, since it is the first time that it will not have an operating system of Microsoft since its launch in 1997. Microsoft Edge therefore becomes in passing the official default browser of Windows.

10. Windows 11 also bet on gaming

For Microsoft, the Xbox Series X does not represent the new generation of console, since it is only an access terminal to an ecosystem. With Windows 11, the convergence between the PC and console game is reinforced. The Xbox application is installed on all Windows 11 terminals and users can access XCloud subject to a GamePass Ultimate subscription. Cross-play and cross save are there, which means you can play with your friends regardless of their platform. Furthermore, Windows 11 brings two major new features.

The first, already present on console, is the HDR car. If you have a compatible game and screen, Windows 11 automatically put it in HDR, which was not the case on Windows 10. In addition, Microsoft tests an application inspired by Xbox to configure HDR settings directly within the operating system.

Finally, Windows 11 brings Direct Storage, which allows the SSD to communicate directly with the GPU. This results in very short, even non -existent loading times on certain games. Added to this are increased performance in Fewful mode for players who prefer to do without full screen.

However, everything does not seem so pink. Indeed, our colleagues from PC gaming noticed that the games were less efficient up to 25% on Windows 11 PCs. Here is the VBS, or virtualization -based security, problematic. This functionality must therefore be deactivated in the settings. Note that only PCs with Windows 11 installed by default seem to know this problem, since those coming from Windows 10 have no problem. There is no doubt that Microsoft will correct these errors very quickly.

Note also that Qualcomm has deployed its new WiFi Dual Station technology on Windows 11. The principle is simple: combine the two bands 2.4 and 5 GHz to drastically reduce latency rates and the various problems of connection in play in particular. A feature that will be very useful for players accustomed to playing in wifi and not in Ethernet connection. Besides, if you too want to benefit from a better speed on your PC, but you don’t really know how to do it, do not hesitate to consult our tutorial “Windows 11: how to improve your Internet debit with The 5 GHz frequency ”, which will give you the procedure to follow, step by step.

11. Windows 11 is faster than Windows 10

Windows 11 is more efficient than Windows 10. For example, Microsoft said that the watch outing will be 25% faster than on Windows 10. The bone knows how to prioritize the elements to awaken and communicates better with the equipment. Even more, it takes up less space on the SSD and native applications are not activated if you do not use them. They are therefore not updated in the background and therefore contribute to a better performance of the system. What is more Microsoft has promised that 2022 will be devoted to improving performance as a whole.

Professional users should also very much appreciate Windows 11, since Microsoft has corrected a bug that affected the start of certain PCs. It could happen that the operating system be blocked on the start -up screen for at least 40 minutes, But thanks to the new optional builder 22000.651, Windows 11 PCs start faster than ever.

Finally, the last novelty concerning the speed of Windows 11: thanks to a new compression algorithm, Microsoft has improved data transfer speed on a local network via the SMB protocol. Clearly, when you transfer voluminous files between two house PCs, or between a PC and a NAS, the operation is significantly faster under Windows 11 than in Windows 10.

12. It is now necessary to have a Microsoft account

Microsoft pushed the use of an account on Windows 10, but it was always possible to have a local account. Now, for owners of Windows 11 Family, a such an account is compulsory to install it.

A way for Microsoft to control who uses its OS and to offer different services like OneDrive. Please note, the need to have an account can sometimes lead to a little strange bugs, such as the one that prevents connection with a newly created account.

13. Microsoft applications are entitled to a facelift

Microsoft software has also seen their design evolve with Windows 11, even if how to use it will not change. The best known of them is paint. We have the same icons, except that these were modernized in order to respect the design codes of Windows 11, namely the accent on roundness and transparency. The software is also compatible with the dark theme. OneNote also undergoes a big change, since the Windows 10 versions (via the Microsoft Store) and Office have simply merged for more clarity.

Microsoft Office also has the right to a new version. Those subscribers to Office 365 benefit from new products, including a new design more in tune with Windows 11. For those who want to buy the software suite at once, Office 2021 is available from October 5 at a price of 149 euros for individuals and 249 euros for professionals. Note that it is possible to install it on Windows 10, but also on MacOS.

Some native applications have already had a facelift in a recent update: the screenshot, calculating, mail and calendar tool. Their use does not change in relation to their predecessors, however, these new new versions bring a revised and corrected design, clearer and above all adapted with the dark mode of the system of operating system.

The Photos Application also knows a lifting. Its operation remains identical to what we currently know, but the menus are rearranged. It is easier to modify an image and it is possible to display several at the same time. Furthermore, the information concerning the viewed cliché, such as its date of creation or its size, is more visible.

Mythical software also experiences a big facelift: the notepad. Present since the very first Windows, this word processing tool keeps its philosophy: it is simple, fast, refined. However, the headband has been slightly adjusted to be easier to use. Likewise, a parameter menu appears. Finally, the Windows 11 notepad offers a size feature: tabs, like any browser !

Another timeless application to be entitled to a facelift: the task manager. You start to know the song. The utility adopts the rounded contours of the Fluent Design while the whole is much more refined. Another novelty, via a new Windows 11 buildings broadcast in 2022, the task manager takes on colors. Indeed, it adapts directly to the mitigation color chosen by the user and even incorporates a search bar.

But the big novelty of this version is the inclusion of a dark mode. Thus, it is possible to display an exhilarated page with a white text. Much more restful for the eyes and especially in line with Windows 11.

Microsoft has also unveiled a new version of its voice recording application. The new application has a new marking function, which allows you to mark specific horodatages. he is also possible to import audio files and modify the audio input To use a microphone than the default.

Finally, M4A, MP3, WMA, Flac and WAV formats are all supported, with three audio quality parameters of your choice.

In April 2023, Microsoft also joined a rather appreciable new innovation concerning the screenshot tool. From now on, pressure on the IMP -screen key on your keyboard will automatically launch the screenshot tool. A minor change that greatly facilitates life.

Note also that it will be possible to use 3D emojis on Skype and Microsoft Teams. Being part of Microsoft’s flagship promises when presenting the bone, these new generation emojis are still waiting. As confirmed by a veteran designer of the American giant in an official blog post, the Redmond firm still is working on the development of 3D emojis.

Note that all of these default applications weigh 1.6 GB on your hard drive or SSD. If you have no use, we explain to you as uninstalling them in this article.

Several distributions of the OS are offered, and updates will also be done from the blind, such as a real application. Discover our tutorial now to download it.

16. The terminal replaces the command prompt

It is now time for the terminal to become the default application for the command lines. For years, this role has been played by the command prompt, which has since become somewhat obsolete. A next update, current 2022, will definitively impose the terminal as its real replacement. Until then, it is possible to make the configuration by yourself.

17. The file explorer has tabs and a new welcome

First identified by the members of the Insiders program, Microsoft has finally confirmed that the file explorer will finally offer navigation by tabs. No need to get lost among the dozens of open windows: only one will be enough once the functionality has been deployed. In addition, the home page will change somewhat, leaving the user’s possibility to configure his favorites himself. Microsoft has started to deploy the functionality with the build 25136 which has been available for insiders since June 2022. In October, she arrives with all insiders, from the Tuesday patch in July 2023, all Windows 11 users can finally use tabs in the explorer of files. Icing on the cake, Microsoft offers new keyboard shortcuts to navigate the application faster.

18. Microsoft is preparing a CCleaner -style cleaning tool

This Friday, October 21, 2022, we learned that Microsoft is currently working on a new application for Windows 11 to clean and optimize your PC performance. Baptized PC Manager, The public beta version of this tool was spotted on the Microsoft Chinese website.

Just like a certain ccleaner, PC Manager offers many features to maintain your PC In good condition: a storage management function to manage or delete unused applications, the possibility of fully cleaning the OS or to search for large files on your discs, A Boost button to erase temporary files and release memory … There are many options. Unfortunately, The app does not work properly on all PCs, And we don’t know yet when the final version of PC Manager will be deployed by Microsoft.

19. The screenshot tool can now record videos

Until now, the screenshot tool has been a Windows 11 functionality which allows users to capture, modify and quickly save a screenshot. From now on, it will allow Windows 11 users to save their screen on video, and this natively. Functionality will allow users to record not only the entire screen, but also to choose to save a special section, Like macOS options with Quicktime. In addition, since the July 2023 update, the application Screenshot is accessible by pressing the print key.Screen.

20. Microsoft Copilot will help you in all your tasks

Microsoft announced during its annual build that Windows 11 would be the first PC platform to integrate central artificial intelligence assistance called Windows Copilot. This new revolutionary functionality will offer a multitude of possibilities, ranging from the management of the parameters and applications of the OS to the help of planning activities such as a fishing part. Copilot promises to simplify the daily use of Windows, thus avoiding users to have to navigate in the menus and complex parameters of the. Windows Copilot preversion is now available within the Insider program.

23. If a feature is missing … you will undoubtedly find it in Power Toys

Although Windows 11 designers keep improving bone through frequent updates, they are far from having thought of everything. It is in this context that the tool Power Toys join the game. This sequence of utilities is a real Swiss productivity knife on Windows 11. Number of small very useful features that are lacking in the Microsoft operating system are available in this program no more than 250 MB. You want to change the dimensions of an image on the fly ? Power Toys has a solution for that, image resize. Watch a photo without opening a publishing program ? No problem, the preview function borrowed from Mac is there to help you in a keyboard shortcut. In all, it is no less than 21 tools that the community provides you with to you are Always more productive and efficient with your PC.

The future of Windows 11

Of course, Microsoft intends to offer long -term follow -up to Windows 11. The Redmond firm has already planned to release a major build per year. We also already have some information on the 23:2 hour version of Windows 11, or code name Sun Valley 3. Although its launch is scheduled for October 2023, insiders have already been able to have an overview of this future bone version.

Be careful however, there are no major new features since this early version is content to correct many bugs, concerning Notamment The file explorer or the impossibility of extinguishing the PC via the Start menu. Anyway, everything indicates that Microsoft seeks to eliminate all bugs from this 23:2 version before broadcasting its innovations linked to Sun Valley 3.

The short rumor according to which the Windows office 11 11:2 p.m. could change its face. There is a question of an interface that would take into account the display depth, with elements that would move according to the movement of your mouse. All this information is obviously to be taken with tweezers, because Such a change would not be trivial and would upset habits installed for decades.

What is the minimum configuration to install Windows 11 on its PC ?

Some small changes should be reported in terms of the compatibility of Windows 11 compared to the previous version of the OS. If, as a member of Twitter has proven, it is technically possible to run Windows 11 with 196 MEGAOCTETS of RAM, Microsoft says that it is imperative to have 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of disc space and especially a 64 -bit architecture processor. Fortunately, 32 -bit applications are always supported. Here is the configuration necessary to claim Windows 11:

• 1 GHz 64-bit Dual-Core processor
• 4 GB of RAM
• 64 GB of storage space
• 9 inch screen
• Image definition 1366 x 768 pixels
• UEFI, Secure Boot and TPM 2 compatibility.0
• Support of DirectX 12

Note that Microsoft added many Intel, AMD processors, but also Qualcomm to the list of compatible systems on the occasion of the update 3, which will arrive for all users in July 2023. If you always have a doubt, a small utility is available to test the compatibility of Windows 11 with any PC. This is PC Health Check. Please note, however: despite a recent purchase, your machine may appear to be incompatible. Above all, remember to activate the TPM option in the BIOS or UEFI settings of your configuration. Everything should go back to normal once this option is activated.

The need to have a TPM chip makes many users cringe. In theory, many old PCs For example are already excluded from the Windows 11 program. Microsoft explained this choice in a blog note. This involves strengthening the security of user data with a hardware barrier. A decision that still puts aside no less than 4 out of 10 users.

However, there is a tip that allows you to bypass Microsoft’s requirements: thanks to a small utility, you can not only Download the most recent version of Windows 11, But also to ensure that the new operating system can be installed on a PC without TPM 2.0 and equipped with an old processor. This tip therefore makes it possible to set up Windows 11 on a PC yet not compatible. According to our first tests, it is always possible to then enjoy the updates of Windows 11, even if nothing guarantees that this will always be the case in the months that will follow.

However, it should be noted that bypassing the rules, you may not benefit from certain security updates. In addition, a watermark will be constantly displayed on your desk, reminding you that your machine is not compatible. It is impossible to remove it.

Thanks to this configuration, you might think that Windows 11 is much faster than Windows 10. For the moment, it is not. Indeed, we made our own comparison benchmark, of which Windows unfortunately loses loser. Note all the same that we used an AMD processor, currently subject to a performance problem on the latest version of the OS. The scores obtained are therefore led to change in the near future. To discover all of the results, it’s here.

Note in this regard that these performance problems with AMD processors have worsened with the first update of Windows 11. Indeed, the latency of the L3 cache has unfortunately increased with the Tuesday patch. Already at 17 ns, it went to 31 ns on a Ryzen 7,2700x at eight hearts. After having confirmed the arrival of two corrections, AMD held back and deployed an update this October 22 to solve all the problems of the AMD processors. No more l3 cache management bug in theory.

List of materials compatible with Windows 11

Following Microsoft’s announcement concerning the minimum configuration required to take advantage of Windows 11, some component manufacturers have decided to take the lead by revealing the list of their compatible products with the latest Microsoft OS. This is particularly the case of Biostar, a specialized brand notably recognized for its motherboards.

And precisely, the company revealed this Thursday, July 1, 2021 the full list of its compatible motherboards. Not surprisingly, all of the listed models are equipped with a TDM 2 chip.0 and Secure Boot. Good surprise, however, since we find all of the AMD Ryzen motherboards in the 300 and 500 series. On the Intel side, on the other hand, the panel is much more limited.

AMD

• A520 Series
• B550 Series
• X570 Series
• B450 Series
• X470 Series
• X370 Series
• B350 Series
• A320 Series

Intel

• Z590 Series
• B560 Series
• B460 Series
• H510 Series
• B250 Series
• J4105NHU

Regarding Intel products, however, be aware that the latest Rocket Lake and Alder Lake processors do not allow you to read Blu-ray 4K on Windows 11. The fault of the abandonment of Intel management on these SGX SOCs, an essential technology in the use of DRM. No SGX, no possibility of reading Blu-ray 4K on Windows 11…

Microsoft has also officially confirmed that Windows 11 would not be compatible with Apple Mac M1, even using a virtual machine. Indeed, one of the most popular virtualization tools, Parallels Desktop, recently went to version 17. Until now, users who had installed the Windows 11 Insider builds have not encountered any problems, but The software has started to display hardware compatibility errors on this new version. Windows 10 is therefore the latest version of Windows compatible with Apple M1 computers.

Note, and it is a bit funny that users had fun trying to install Windows 11 on old processors. A YouTubeur thus noticed that a 2006 pentium 4 was completely compatible and could therefore officially support the bone. It would only be a forgetting of Microsoft, but it’s funny.

What is Windows 11 release date ?

Windows 11 was released in its final edition October 5, 2021. The deployment of the new operating system is gradually. The first served were brand new computers, followed by the most recent machines. The oldest computers will benefit from the update a little later. Microsoft provides that all PCs eligible for Windows 11 will be able to benefit from the new version of the OS by mid-202222.

Note that the very first PC to embark Windows 11 is not a surface, which is surprising. Indeed, this premiere returned to the Honor Magicbook V14. Honor and Microsoft having indeed signed a strategic partnership which includes the release of the very first PC to turn under Windows 11. Anyway, the deployment is progressing, but the latter does not seem very fast. In February 2022, 19% of eligible PCs had installed the operating system. In June 2022, there were 23% to have installed the operating system. Figures contested by StatCounter, which rather estimates the share of users on Windows 11 at 18%.

In April 2022, we learned that Windows 11 only worked on 1.44 % of all PCs on the market, and was therefore still less popular than Windows XP or Windows 7, respectively at 1.71 % and 4.70 %.

Meanwhile, Microsoft would work on Windows 11 SE, a Lite version of the OS developed for the education market. This version would also be accompanied by a new surface laptop, equipped with a SOC Intel Celeron N4120 with 8 GB of RAM. It would be offered below 400 dollars, to hope to compete with Google and its chromebooks.

The different Windows 11 updates

Since its release, Windows 11 has already been entitled to many updates. Besides, Microsoft welcomed the enthusiasm caused by his new bone. According to an official blog post published on January 27, 2022, users spend 40% more time on their PC under Windows 11 compared to Windows 10. In addition, the free upgrade has motivated users twice as for Win10.

However, a large part of the features cited in this article are not yet available for the general public. While users hoped to be able to take advantage of it at the beginning of 2022, it will ultimately not be. Indeed, the next big update of Windows 11, called Sun Valley 2 or 10:2 p.m, finally arrived in May 2022. The opportunity to discover that it contains no less than 35 preinstalled applications. Insiders in the Release Preview channel were able to obtain the final version at the beginning of June 2022, the build 22621, via the Windows Insider option in the Windows Update section of Windows 11. Finally, the Windows 11 22h2 update was deployed in September 2022.

If it has made many modifications such as start-up menu improvements and the return of drag and drop in the taskbar, this version has also added its batch of bugs. Among them, performance concerns with certain games and applications. Faced with the growing number of complaints, Microsoft has also chosen to block the deployment of the update on the PCs concerned. Fortunately, the manufacturer broadcast a corrective patch on November 30, 2022. However, it should be noted that some PCs cannot yet download it.

A rather vague strategy for updates

From a global point of view, it is interesting to note that Microsoft seems undecided in relation to its update strategy. Unlike Windows 10 which offered a major and a minor, Windows 11 should only be entitled to an update per year. But in February 2022, the OS received a substantial update, bringing many new features. The Redmond firm has also said that this type of update will be more frequently.

Lately, Microsoft deployed a new version in March 2022 from Windows 11. It includes a system in particular to block potentially dangerous applications, as well as a new subscription manager and means of payment. Practice to avoid a possible suspension of your online services in the event of a change of bank card for example.

Add to this that Microsoft sometimes deviates from his calendar, with urgent security updates aimed at filling faults from his software (out-of-band updates). We remember as well as in March 2023, the company had to publish at full speed an update of the screen capture tool on the Microsoft Store, in order to correct a flaw that would allow hackers to exploit images reworked with the Bone Integrated Program.

Windows 10 will he disappear ?

Windows 10 is not about to disappear, since Microsoft plans to update it regularly until 2025. If your PC is not compatible with Windows 11 or you just don’t want to change your bones, you still have four years in front of you, at least.

In addition, the OS will continue to receive its large annual updates. Next October, a big patch will bring various major news, such as an improvement in Windows Hello. If you plan from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you will necessarily benefit from it, since the new Microsoft operating system will be deployed in early 2022.

Also note that it will be possible to iron Windows 11 to Windows 10 if you are not convinced. However, it will be necessary to do it within 10 days after installation if you wish to keep your data. After this period, all your personal elements will be deleted.

What is the price of Windows 11 ?

Upon release of Windows 10 in 2015, Microsoft “offered” to all Windows 7 users and Windows 8 a new operating system license. This offer was not to last for a year, but six years later, it is still active. Redmond editor reiterates the operation with Windows 11: any owner of a Windows 7, 8 license.1 or Windows 10 will be entitled to free migration to Windows 11.

We tested the manipulation which consists in using a serial number sometimes from Windows 7, sometimes from Windows 10. License recording perfectly worked. As for newcomers, Microsoft has made a radical and unusual decision. Indeed, it will be impossible to buy a Windows 11 license, whether you are an individual or a business. The information was confirmed by a Microsoft spokesperson. To get Windows 11, It will actually be necessary to acquire a license for Windows 10 before migrating for free to the latest version of the operating system.

Be careful, there are however a few things to know. The passage from Windows 10 to Windows 11 is done fluidly and you keep your files and your personal data. The passage of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will be a little more complicated, since it will be necessary to make a complete resettlement. Thus, the tool will delete and clean your background storage, sacrificing your data in passing. It will therefore be necessary to take care of Keep everything important on external storage. A reflex that we advise you to adopt in all circumstances.

Finally, the last track to consider: the acquisition of a Windows in the form of a subscription. A formula that would make sense with a Windows in the Cloud, whose exit also seems imminent. Recall that Microsoft already offers Office 365 in this format since 2011.

In August 2023, Microsoft launched the test phase of its Windows 365 Switch service, which allows access to a Windows 11 Pro PC hosted in the cloud from a local machine. First tests have already taken place, but the formula has so far only been addressed to professionals and businesses. Everything indicates that the PC in the cloud for the general public is about to arrive very shortly. Meanwhile, Microsoft will publish a revolutionary update of the operating system which will introduce “Windows Copilot”, your AI assistant on a daily basis that will greatly simplify the use of Windows 11.
