At least, we finally know the official details around the upcoming OS. And if you haven\u2019t been paying close attention, there\u2019s a lot to know. We pulled together everything we know about Windows 11 so far, from multi-monitor support to Android <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a> support.<\/p>\n<p>And we should specify that this list will likely get updated for multiple reasons. Microsoft has rapidly been releasing more info since the initial Windows 11 event, and in some cases, changing course. But from the get-go, there\u2019s plenty to like about Windows 11. And some things that aren\u2019t as great. Only time will tell if Windows 11 breaks the cycle of \u201cgood OS, bad OS\u201d that we\u2019ve seen from Windows XP through Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"User_Interface_Updates\"><\/span>User Interface Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-90108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fe3fb99a.jpg\" alt=\"Windows 11 user interface.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Take a look at Windows 11, and you\u2019ll see one of the most obvious changes front and (literally) center. Microsoft moved the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/90087\/windows-11-is-windows-10-with-apple-polish\/\">taskbar to the middle and added fun new animations as apps open and close. In addition, the taskbar expands for touch mode and features all icons. As Microsoft\u2019s Panos Panay put it, \u201cWe put Start at the center\u2014it puts you at the center.\u201d At least that is, until you decide to move it back to the left. But that would just be the icons themselves; in Windows 11, you can\u2019t put the taskbar on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/737198\/windows-11-wont-let-you-move-the-taskbar-but-it-should\/\">left side of your display<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the Taskbar, the next big change is the Star Menu. Gone are the Live Tiles of Windows 8 and 10, and no one will cry about that. But now, instead of a quick list of apps, you\u2019ll get an \u201ca.i. generated list\u201d of recent apps and files. You can click through to get to the full program menu, of course. Finally, Microsoft spent a lot of time showing off a new glassy look for Windows 11, along with rounded corners, better themes, and more. That includes moving the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/708211\/your-windows-10-taskbar-is-about-to-get-news-and-weather\/\">News and Weather<\/a> widget out to a half screen widget separated from the taskbar.<\/p>\n<p>But one of the more important updates might be focused on multi-monitor support. Now Windows 11 will remember where you had your apps when you disconnect and reconnect an external monitor. That solves a frustrating problem for laptop users and hybrid workers everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of window arrangement, Windows 11 also introduces new snap groups that make it easier to arrange all your apps. Think of it like Fancy Zones in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/665780\/all-microsofts-powertoys-for-windows-10-explained\/\">PowerToys<\/a> program, only a lot easier to use (and a little less powerful).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Android_Is_Coming_to_Windows_10_Sort_of\"><\/span>Android Is Coming to Windows 10 (Sort of)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a big surprise, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 will install and run Android apps. So you\u2019ll be able to browse the overhauled Microsoft Store, find Android apps, and hit install. But don\u2019t get your hopes up too high. We\u2019re not talking Google Play apps\u2014no, these come from the Amazon App store. Which, to be honest, severely limits the quantity (and likely quality) of the apps on hand. Still, the Amazon Appstore will exist inside the Microsoft store, and you\u2019ll be able to browse and install apps.<\/p>\n<p>But one Microsoft engineer suggesting Windows 11 can sideload Android apps, though how that works is a mystery. Windows 11 Android App support is made possible through Intel Bridge <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. If you\u2019re worried that means it only works on PCs with Intel processors, don\u2019t be. Microsoft says Android apps will work on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/90261\/dont-worry-windows-11-android-apps-work-with-amd-and-arm-cpus\/\">Intel, AMD, and ARM processors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Game_Stores_Might_Arrive_on_the_Microsoft_Store\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_OtherGameStores\">Other Game Stores Might Arrive on the Microsoft Store<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-90252 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/be8666dc.png\" alt=\"Window 11's Microsoft Store updates.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft, Steam, Epic Games\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft, Steam, Epic Games<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Windows 11 completely overhauls the Microsoft Store, and hopefully, that means it won\u2019t be so littered with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/194993\/the-windows-store-is-a-cesspool-of-scams-why-doesnt-microsoft-care\/\">garbage apps<\/a>. To help with that, the Microsoft Store will open up to more types of apps than Windows 10 allowed. No longer are you limited to UWPs (Universal Windows Apps); now developers can load\u00a0Win32 desktop apps.<\/p>\n<p>To help encourage that, developers can bypass Microsoft\u2019s revenue system and include their own payment options. When developers do that, Microsoft won\u2019t take a cut of the sales inside apps. With one exception\u2014games. Games still have to use Microsoft\u2019s revenue system. But wait, it gets more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>You see, Microsoft says it would welcome Steam and Epic to the Microsoft Store. Of course, those are game stores themselves. Don\u2019t be too confused, though. It\u2019s a lot like the Android situation. If Steam or Epic choose to integrate (a big if), you\u2019ll be able to browse Steam and Epic games inside the Microsoft Store. When you install, it\u2019ll launch the Steam or Epic store to finish out the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Hardware_Requirements_Are_in_Flux\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_HardwareRequirements\">The Hardware Requirements Are in Flux<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/f336720c.jpg\" alt=\"A PC health program stating the PC can't run Windows 11\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When I started this article, I thought I knew exactly what to tell you about the hardware requirements. Now I don\u2019t, because Microsoft can\u2019t make up its mind. At first, things were pretty clear. Microsoft said you\u2019d need a\u00a01 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores 64-bit processor, 4 GBs of RAM, and 64 GBs of storage. Additionally, Microsoft clarified Windows 11 would only work on 64-bit processors.<\/p>\n<p>But then it got more complicated. We learned\u00a0not every processor that meets the above specs will actually work with Windows 11. From the list of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows-hardware\/design\/minimum\/supported\/windows-11-supported-intel-processors\">compatible processors<\/a>, we can gather it needs to be an 8th generation era Intel processor (or equivalent AMD) or above.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Windows 11 will require laptops have webcams starting in 2023. It\u2019s unclear why, but it seems likely that the drive is to push manufacters to use higher-quality webcams. But some gaming laptops are out of luck, as they ocassionaly skip webcams entirely under the assumption that streamers would prefer didicated cameras.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the TPM chip situation. In some places, Microsoft said you\u2019ll need a device with a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/windows-11-specifications\">TPM 2.0 chip<\/a>, which calls for a relatively new computer. In others, it had mentioned a \u201csoft\u201d requirement for TPM 2.0 and a \u201chard requirement\u201d for TPM 1.2, which covers most computers in the past five years. That turn of events led to scalpers trying to make a buck on TPM chips.<\/p>\n<p>But now Microsoft <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/compatibility\/windows-11\/\">removed that verbiage<\/a>, and it\u2019s not clear what the case is anymore. It looks like the new hard floor is TPM 2.0, but Microsoft isn\u2019t communicating well.\u00a0 In any case, Secure Boot is a requirement. To make matters worse, at first, if Microsoft\u2019s compatibility tool determined your PC isn\u2019t compatible with Windows 11, it didn\u2019t tell you why. Now a new update provides clearer guidance.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s all still very confusing. So, for now, the best thing you can do is try the PC Health Check tool, then walk through our guide for potential solutions if it says no. But if your processor isn\u2019t on Microsoft\u2019s list, then the only fix is a new processor or PC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windows_11_Arrives_This_Year_Insider_Builds_Very_Soon\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_Arrives\">Windows 11 Arrives This Year, Insider Builds Very Soon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  alignnone wp-image-88140 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2c1deb75.jpg\" alt=\"Windows 11 requires an internet connection.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So you might be wondering, when will you get to try Windows 11? Well, Microsoft says the first Windows 11 PCs will arrive in retail later this year. That doesn\u2019t really tell us when Windows 11 will release for upgrading existing PCs, however.<\/p>\n<p>But we do know that Windows 11 Insider Builds are coming soon. Very soon. According to the Windows Insider Twitter account, we could see the first build as soon as \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/windowsinsider\/status\/1408094218036269063?s=20\">next week<\/a>.\u201d It sent that tweet out on June 24th, so by the time you read this, that could be \u201cthis week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re wondering how much Windows 11 will cost, we don\u2019t know. Microsoft\u2019s closest answer states that PCs come in all different cost factors, which isn\u2019t helpful. We have a guess, though. It will probably cost the same as Windows 10 because you can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 for free. That cost might matter to you, though. Microsoft requires Windows 11 Home users to connect to the Internet and sign in with a Microsoft Account during setup. If you want to skip that and use a local account, you\u2019ll have to fork over the cost for Windows 11 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, everything and anything in this list can change. And when it does, we\u2019ll let you know.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
