A summary of the new functions of Windows 11.New design, widgets, strengthening games, etc.

Widget for new designs, games and Android apps.

Windows 11 has finally been officially announced.The release is the holiday season, anyone who has a Windows 10 PC can update for free.As rumored, the interface has been renewed, the game function of Xbox, the update of the application store, and the access to Android apps as well as Windows.Let's take a look below!

Welcome to the new home

Windows 11 becomes modern, the color is fresh, including the dark theme, and the corner of the window is rounded.According to Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay, the new windows are like a glass sheet.

The start menu moves to the center of the taskbar, a search bar that searches for documents and apps is embedded, and a recommended section to return to the previous work is displayed.In the start menu, we will use "cloud power" to recognize what we had done until then or the part that had been interrupted just before.

After that, the SNAP function introduced in Windows 7 will be upgraded to SNAP Layouts.Windows User Experience Partner Director Carmen Zlateff demonstrated this feature.If you put the cursor on the maximized button of some kind of window, some windows will be displayed, and by selecting it, you can pinch apps and documents in a moderate arrangement.The layout options vary depending on the screen resolution, and the layout is held even when working with multiple desktops.In addition, each desktop is assigned to each desktop and app shortcuts, so you can use different profiles depending on the purpose of work, personal, and games.

The introduction of widgets has also been announced.Pressing the button on the taskbar will result in a widget layout, and you can customize it with any feed, weather forecast, calendar, stock price, etc.You can also choose your own news feed on local media or major news sites.

If you are using a 2 in 1 device on a notebook PC and tablet, the switch between mode will be more sophisticated and easier.For example, in Surface, the tablet UI rises the moment the keyboard is removed.If you rotate the device, you will follow the Windows 11 interface.There is also a new touch keyboard that moves as if you are used to iOS and Android devices.After that, you can do voice typing, and the stylus will add tactile feedback.For those who say, "I use an external monitor during work, but I want to play the game only on a laptop," so that the app is minimized when the monitor is removed.

Update app store

In Windows 11, the design of the app store also changes not only in the interface.You can easily find the progressive web application, the universal Windows platform app, and the Win32 app.Microsoft is to select the payment platform and an in -app -in -app billing system for the appdeveropper, and have 100 % of the sales and a pear before our share.At the point where Microsoft looks sideways, it seems that you can not hear Apple.

Android apps can be used on Windows 11 via Amazon Appstore.So you should be able to use the apps that require emulator, such as Tiktok, can be easily used.You need an Amazon account, but it still seems to be a look and feel as a Windows app, and you can expect it to be used naturally, like downloading Android apps from Chrome OS via Play Store.

Enhanced game system

Windows 11 actively incorporates Xbox functions because there is no way to make use of the strengths of gaming.First, Auto HDR can be used, and in -game writing and color profiles are converted to high -dynamic range.In the demonstration using the game "Skyrim", the world of the game was updated more vividly by using Auto HDR.

Direct Storage, a function to eliminate storage bottlenecks used in Xbox Series S / X, is also incorporated.This will reduce the time it takes to read the game and improve your performance.

Finally, Xbox Games Pass is also directly entered Windows 11.By paying a monthly subscription, you can access the game library on the cloud from the PC, save data can be placed in the cloud, and cross -play across devices is possible.

Enhancing messaging with Teams

Microsoft has integrated Teams to Windows 11, to compete with Apple's device crossing messaging platform (to get out of the way Google has not been able to do it well).TEAMS may have the image of work, but it means that you use it more and more in interacting with friends and families.In the demonstration, Teams was integrated directly to Windows, enabling transparent text messages, voice calls, and video calls.

The release of Windows 11 will be released this year, but if you are registered with Windows Insider, you can access the preview version next week.It's important to note that Windows PC can not move anything with Windows PC, so check here.
