Windows 11Microsoft introduces the new era for PC. 

But what are the changes? And, when will it happen? 

Let’s go through some of the most pressing questions about this big change from the Seattle software giant.

What is the timeline?

The new OS (operating system) is rolling out to eligible devices from the 5th of October. 

Microsoft will roll out the update in phases and not everyone will get the recommendation to upgrade as per their blog post in August

They expect “all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022.”

Who will be affected?

The upgrade will affect users that have Windows 10 already installed. 

Do you want to find out if your device is eligible?

Go to the PC Health Check app from Microsoft itself. 

What are the new features?

Among the new Windows 11 features we recommend checking: 
  • New interface: it looks more like a Mac-like interface: clean design, rounded corners and Start menu at the center
  • Android apps: Android will be available in Windows 11 via the Amazon Appstore. You can access this store through the MS Store.
  • Widgets: you can access widgets directly from the Taskbar and personalize however you like
  • Microsoft Teams integration: Teams is pinned on Windows 11 Taskbar
  • Xbox: your gaming experience will improve on your Windows PC with features likes Auto HDR and DirectStorage like in the Xbox consoles.
  • Virtual desktop support: you can set up virtual desktops similar to MacOS and juggle varioous desktops (personal, work, school or gaming). 
  • Better multitasking and easy transtion from monitor to laptop

How much will it cost?

The upgrade will be free if you’re using Windows 10.
