Windows 11 is the one place for it all. With a fresh new feel and tools that make it easier to be efficient, it has what you need for whatever’s next.

With Windows 11, Microsoft boldly changes up its market-leading desktop operating system, giving it a new look featuring a centered Taskbar, rounded window corners, and new translucent textures. Despite this fresh design, using Windows 11 doesn't feel drastically different from using Windows 10. Many of the updates amount to surface tweaks rather than deep codebase changes, and it still runs all your familiar applications. Coming after six years of ho-hum upgrades, this major overhaul to the look and feel of the world’s most popular desktop operating system gives Windows fans something to get excited about, and it's an Editors' Choice winner for operating systems, alongside Apple's polished macOS Ventura.

For Windows 11, Microsoft adds new features in what it calls "continuous innovation." This means, in addition to an annual big update, you get new features and changes throughout the year in what the company has dubbed "moments." The latest moment, for spring 2023, brings new options to the Widgets panel, more languages for live captioning and voice access support, a VPN status icon, content-adaptive brightness, new touch keyboard options, a Settings page for USB4 hubs and devices, and many fixes for reliability issues. The update adds an option to display seconds in the taskbar clock, one-key shortcuts in File Explorer, and a copy button in multi-factor authentication notifications. Finally, Retouch returns to the Photos app.

Windows 11 is available for free for Windows 10 systems. At this point, its initial rollout is complete. The new OS is an option for all PCs that meet the requirements, and new computers ship with it preloaded.



Can you buy Windows 11 without buying a new machine? Yes. DIY PC builders, virtual machine installations, and non-Windows 10 computers can finally buy a Windows 11 Home license for $139.99 and the Windows 11 Pro edition for $199.99 from the online Microsoft Store. The company no longer directly sells Windows 10 licenses in its online store.
Much has been made of the system requirements for Windows 11, but they’re very low: 1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, and 64GB storage. A 64-bit processor is required; there's no longer a 32-bit version of the OS. You also need a computer with a TPM security chip and Secure Boot capability. That has been standard on most PCs for the last six or so years. The real limiter is the CPU model, which needs to be from about the last four years. PC Health Check app is a tool that assesses your PC's ability to run Windows 11. The company recently withdrew support for some Intel Xeon entry-level CPUs, which affects some enterprise shops.

Anyone with a recent CPU, though, should have no trouble installing Windows 11 via Windows Update. Microsoft made a downloadable ISO disk image file for the beta Insider version available for installing Windows 11, allowing in-place upgrades or clean installations on a PC or in a virtual machine. A similar installation option is now available for the release version of Windows 11 via Microsoft's Download Windows 11 page. Some sources have reported that installing the OS with the ISO installer bypasses the system's hardware requirements, but that's not advisable as you may not get future OS updates if you install it on unsupported hardware.

A final note about installation: You can roll back to Windows 10 for 10 days after upgrading if you prefer the older OS version. Microsoft has announced support for Windows 10 through 2025.

For decades, the Windows Start button has lived in the lower-left-hand corner—small detail though it may be, getting used to it being at the left edge of centered icons could be one of the bigger adjustments you need to make. The issue for me is that the Start menu has heretofore always been in the exact same place. Now, if you run more programs, it moves a bit more to the left. Not having to think at all about the Start button’s position was a plus in Windows versions going back more than 20 years. Happily, a Taskbar alignment option in Settings lets you move the Start button back to its rightful position in the left corner.

THE BOTTOM LINE
A radically modernized, more consistent design for Windows 11 belies what is really more of an evolutionary update to the world's most popular desktop operating system.
