All you need to know about Windows 11
Microsoft's conference to announce the new Windows 11 operating system ended some time ago. The American company surprised us with major system updates that exceeded expectations that it will be just a redesign of Windows 10. Without lengthy introductions, let's get straight to the point. New changes and improvements in the new version of Windows.
New design for Windows 11
You may have seen this part a lot in previous leaks, but we can't start talking about Windows 11 without talking about the new design. The first thing you will notice as soon as you look at the system is the transition from the Start menu to the center of the screen. You will also notice that the main system background has changed to a new look that is different from the bright window that was present in most versions of the system.
One of the new additions that Microsoft revealed is Snap Layouts. Users can select a specific way to design each program's window. It is not necessary to open all programs at their maximum size and then reduce them to suit your use. Setting a specific size in Snap Layouts will keep the program at that size each time you use it.
Snap Layouts will also make more use of the multi-window feature. With a single touch, users will be able to divide the screen into applications in use through the list of suggestions provided by the system.
In Windows 11, Microsoft brought back widgets to Windows after removing them in Windows 8. This time, the widgets will be located in a separate window that can be customized more freely.
All of these system customization tools can be further customized. Windows 11 users will be able to create a custom desktop one at a time. You can create a work desk, home office, entertainment office, or even a gaming desk.
دعم تطبيقات الأندرويد لويندوز 11
One of the surprises that Microsoft presented at its conference was the support for the new system for Android applications. This support will come through a new collaboration with Amazon that will bring the apps available in the Amazon App Store within the new Windows Store. Microsoft will also work with Intel to bring Android apps to Windows based on its latest Bridge technology.
The American company did not reveal all the details of the new experience that users will get, but it clarified during the conference the possibility of using these applications, as the applications available in the system store are used.

Greater support for games in Windows 11
With the release of Windows 10, many people complained that some games stopped working. This situation lasted for some time before Microsoft resolved most of the issues with the game.
This time the system will come with a different vision of gaming by making it a part of the system. First, the games will support high dynamic range thanks to the Auto HDR function responsible for activating this technology even if the games do not support it. The only requirement to take advantage of it is to have a monitor that supports HDR and let Windows do the rest.
Second, the Xbox app on Windows is getting a major update. This update will provide Windows 11 users with an Xbox Gold subscription, a larger game library, and the ability to play Microsoft's xCloud game service.
Third, and most important in my opinion, is DirectStorage technology that improves the communication between the storage and the graphics card by reducing dependence on the processor and instead relying on the connection between them directly. This feature was previously used on Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X to reduce load times and speed up game performance.

Restructuring system updates
What most Windows users complain about are updates. An annoying thing that interrupts your work for some time to complete the installation process and consumes your device and internet resources. All this in order to get some new features or to fill some security holes.
In Windows 11, updates will be 40% smaller than current updates. The update process will take place in the background. Yes, what you read is correct, no need to reboot to install updates.

Microsoft Teams app
This step will cover all versions of the system and all users were Teams users for work, study or even personal use. The action almost ended the Skype services that Microsoft tried so hard to make part of the system, but failed in all attempts.
Better touch experience in Windows 11
With the transformation of the system day after day to support all types of devices (except for smartphones), the American company was interested in providing a better touch experience for users.
This improvement will come from the system's support for Haptic Feedback or vibration for the first time. Vibration will work when touching the screen or using the smart pen depending on what the user wants. Windows 11 will also support new gestures for navigating the system. The gestures will not be new so that users will not get lost between the different gestures of the operating systems, but will be very similar to the Trackpad gestures.
The keyboard has had its share of this update. The panel that appears on the screen for use by touch has become smaller, but it is possible to activate the mode of use with one hand. The new panel will contain emojis and a window dedicated to voice dictation.

Use more than one screen
One thing that hasn't been highlighted enough is the new way of using more than one screen. It's easier because the system remembers what the user is doing. After using an external monitor for the first time, the system will keep your settings for that monitor. When the external screen is closed and reused, windows and applications will be redistributed as they were without user interaction.
weather and news
If you're a Windows 10 user, you've definitely noticed a new News and Weather window to the right of the clock. This window which most users removed will be completely redesigned. Not only will the redesign be limited to appearance, but the window will display news from user-defined sources that can be linked to paid subscriptions or give advice directly through them.
Windows 11 system requirements
Microsoft has imposed some modifications to the operating specifications of Windows 10 so that its new system works in most devices of the previous version, but with some conditions, which are:At least 1 GHz processor. Requires dual-core operation and 64-bit support. The same goes for SoCs.
- 4 GB of RAM.
- 64 GB internal storage.
- UEFI boot system.
- DirectX 12 / WWDM 2.x compatible graphics card
- A screen size of at least 9 inches with a resolution of 720 pixels or higher.
- Microsoft account and Internet connection (the system installation process will not be complete without logging into a Microsoft account)
If you don't know if your device meets these needs, Microsoft offers a tool to get the job done that you can access here.
Windows 11 release date
Although a leaked version of the system was available even before it was announced, Microsoft insists that the system will start being available as a free update for users of Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 in late 2021 and early 2021. 2022. No official date yet!
