The Windows 11, the latest version of the popular computer operating system from Microsoft, will be available worldwide starting today as a free update for users of Windows 10. When Windows 10 was released, Microsoft had stated that it would be the final version of Windows, a stance that apparently changed over time.
Panos Panai, head of new product development at the American company, told the BBC that The new Windows will be easier for users, and upgrading to it won't be a challenge even for those who are least tech-savvy. He assured everyone that the new system had undergone extensive testing by experts and that there would be no problems with the transition from one operating system to another.
Among the new changes is that The “Start menu” will now be located in the center of the screen instead of in the lower-left corner. The Microsoft Teams app has been fully integrated into the new system (replacing Skype), while the Microsoft Store has been redesigned to allow third-party apps to be made available. Searching—via Bing—is now faster, as is video game performance.
Microsoft has clarified that “11” has certain minimum installation requirements, which not all computers may meet, so some users may not be able to install the new system on their computers, especially if their computers are older. Windows 10 will continue to be supported and receive security updates through October 2025.
