Window 11




Windows 11 is the latest version of the popular operating system for desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile PCs developed by Microsoft Corporation. Offered as the free upgrade to compatible PCs running Windows 10, this new version of the operating system aims to provide all users access to a wide array of new features and improvements for enhancing daily use, professional workflows, compatibility with touch-friendly devices, re-thinking of many User Interface elements, direct infusion of new local and cloud-based apps and services, a new version of app download and management experience and much more.





Family, friends, obsessions, music, creations — Windows 11 OS is the one place for it all. With a fresh new feel and tools that make it easier to be efficient, it has what you need for whatever’s next.


In its core, Windows 11 does not represent a complete rebuild of Windows 10 but is instead a massive upgrade that aims to improve all aspects of its functioning while retaining full compatibility with all legacy apps that hundreds of millions of Win10 users today use.

The most noticeable new feature of Windows 11 is its user interface that every PC user will have to interact with every day. The biggest change is in the taskbar, which now houses a centered row of larger icons than on any previous version of Windows OS. The leftmost icon activates the new Start Menu which is redesigned to showcase the most commonly used apps, recent files, and easy access to full app listing and search.

  • Maximize your productivity
  • New ways to connect
  • Your content, curated by you
  • Playtime. Anytime.

Other taskbar icons cover a wide variety of bundled apps, which among others include the latest version of Microsoft Edge web browser and fully optimized Microsoft Teams app for easy online communication via text, audio, and video. The entire OS is full of new animations, transitions, and the main visual theme features a very eye-catching style of frosted glass. This makes the entire OS enticing and approachable for both novices and seasoned users.

Under the hood, Windows 11 hides an incredible variety of new tools, services, and optimizations that go from the ability to resize windows to much more versatile virtual grids (similarly as is available in the PowerToys app and its FancyZones service), all the way to the full integration of Android apps that can be run straight on the Win11 desktop same as any other app. It is important to note that those Android apps will be offered on Microsoft Store in collaboration with the Amazon android app store.

Windows 11 is available for FREE to all Windows 10 users who have compatible PC. Hardware compatibility can be checked with two apps, the official PC Health Check app developed by Microsoft and open-source solution WhyNotWin11.
