Five Windows 11 features to look forward to: new Start menu, Snap layouts and more

PC users around the globe are anxiously waiting for the arrival of the all-new Windows 11. With its announcement back in June, it is only recently that Microsoft had hinted at the release date of its new operating system to the general public. As per the company, Windows 11 will begin rolling out to compatible PCs on October 5, 2021.

At the time of its announcement, Microsoft had confirmed that Windows 11 will come as a free upgrade to Windows 10 users. All eligible PCs can thus upgrade to Windows 11 as per their compatibility, which is only limited by some of the hardware specifications that Windows 11 demands. In return, the all-new Windows version brings a host of upgrades to one’s computing experience.

For instance, Windows 11 is focused on improving the Windows user interface through a completely redesigned layout. Some examples of this include a completely new Start menu, with an updated Start button that is now positioned at the center of the taskbar. In addition, Windows 11 brings several improvements to system performance.

Here is a look at some of the top improvements that the Windows 11 is set to bring to computers worldwide.
