On Thursday, June 24th Microsoft introduced the brand new Windows 11 to the world.
A Virtual Microsoft Windows Event was held on the very next day on their YouTube channel, where several new features of their upcoming product were unveiled. With an official release date nowhere in sight, it is safe to assume that Microsoft will be launching Windows 11 by late 2021.
That being said, there was a complete Windows 11 leak in the week leading up to the event. The new operating system became downloadable and took the whole world by storm. With its all-new user experience features, android app integration, widgets, XBOX technology for a better gaming experience, and much more, Windows 11 quickly caught the online world’s attention.

In this article, we will go over the main features of Windows 11 and How to Install it on your PC.
What new features does Windows 11 have to offer?
It comes with several new features the world is already raving about and many more that are yet to be unveiled on its official launch.
Here are some of the most notable features in the latest operating system:
As seen in the image above, Windows 11 comes with a rather clean design, just like the macOS. It has round edges with the taskbar and start menu centralized.
It is believed though that the choice of moving the Start Icon to the center might turn out to be controversial as the idea goes against the traditional look of Windows with the Start Icon always being on the left; something that Windows has been consistent with and well known for over decades.
It allows you to install and access all of your Android Applications using the new Microsoft Store. This feature was already available to Windows 10 users using third-party applications such as Bluestack. But now it will make android apps native to Windows 11 users, thereby resulting in a much smoother and better interface plus performance for the apps.
Windows introduced brand new multitasking features called Snap Layouts, Snap Groups, and Desktops. These are apps and windows currently in your use, that are compiled in a centralized place for you to access and switch to easily. Having different desktops means a separate and more personalized desktop interface for work, school, and home.
This feature allows you to multitask more effectively and make optimal use of your time and resources.
Accessible from the sidebar, the Widgets in Windows 11 appear to be like a glass overlay that can be triggered seamlessly, does not disturb any of your background work, and allows you to jump into your personalized feed of information and entertainment very easily.
Microsoft Teams is getting integrated into Windows 11 and will now be competing against Apple’s FaceTime.
This feature allows you to access Teams from any device and operating system, be it iOS, Android, macOS, and of course, Windows.
Windows 11 comes with the latest DirectX 12, Direct Storage, and auto HDR features. Though these features are not innovative and already exist within XBOX itself, it’s still a nice addition since 62% of gamers use Windows as their go-to platform for gaming.
