This is the latest version of the Windows operating system with a new interface and other new features, such as the new Microsoft Store, a new personalized channel powered by AI, and best-in-class browser performance with Microsoft Edge, chat with Microsoft Teams integrated into the taskbar, and much more!

What’s new in Windows 11:
– Windows 11 will receive a completely new look. Microsoft clearly needs a good reason to back down from its previous claims and still abandon Windows 10 by introducing a new operating system number. And the completely new design is perfect for this. The Redmond giant has long been preparing a redesign of the update, codenamed Sun Valley (“Sun Valley”) – supposedly, Windows 11 was under this name. The Sun Valley project flashed on the network for a long time – Microsoft regularly revealed details of the new interface style, insiders shared previously unknown information, and popular designers in their circles drew realistic concepts based on all this data.
– Startup and system items will float above the bottom bar. Start is the calling card and face of every latest version of Windows. It is not surprising that in Windows 11, developers will transform it again, but not so much in terms of functionality, but visually – the Start window will float above the bottom bar. It must be admitted that this small change makes the appearance of the system much fresher. Judging by the information from the network, Microsoft will not radically change the “inside” of this menu – innovations will only affect the appearance of the window itself. The control panel will also float, and its design will be exactly the same as in the case of the “Start”. The action center will be combined together with the control buttons – a similar one has long been used in some other operating systems. Almost all mentions of the new menu indicate that it will be island – the control buttons will be on a separate panel, notifications on another, and specific elements (e.g. the player) on another.
– Right angles will disappear, they will be replaced by roundings. In fact, insiders and conceptual designers do not agree on this issue – some are convinced that Microsoft will not change its traditions and will keep right angles, while others are convinced that in 2021 Microsoft will follow the fashion for fillets. The latter fits better into the definition of “all-new Windows” – just hovering over the menu is not enough to consider the new design as truly new. The rounding is expected to affect practically everything in the system, from context menus and system panels to all application windows. It is true that even on this issue, the opinions of conceptual designers differ – some draw roundings in all possible interface elements, others connect them at right angles.
– There will be a transparent background with blur everywhere. There is a divergence of opinion on the web regarding the island style of displaying windows, the design of corners and the effect of levitation of the menu, but almost everyone is unanimous about the transparency of the windows. The vast majority of leaks and project renders show transparency and blurring in all windows, at least in the Start menu or Explorer. Moreover, these effects are present even in the assembly of the canceled Windows 10X operating system, which Microsoft was developing for dual-screen devices and weak gadgets in parallel with the Sun Valley project. The so-called acrylic transparency means the use of new effects when you hover over elements, as well as increasing the spacing between elements – the areas of the interface with which the user interacts will certainly increase in size, and the page titles will be bolded.
– A new font, which has already been shown. Windows 11 will most likely use the default, responsive Segoe UI Variable font, which already appeared in Windows 10 Build 21376 for Insiders. Its advantage is that it is equally suitable for small texts and large lettering.
