Here is a 15-minute overview, and it is worth the time.

Faster and smaller updates and out-of-hours updates.

More efficient processor and power use (sleeping tabs).

More secure – faster Windows Hello logins.

Android Apps – soon bringing Amazon Appstore mobile apps to the desktop.

Snap Groups and layouts – easier to place and size apps on multiple desktops.

Widgets – small live versions of weather, news, calendar and much more (no more live tiles).

Virtual desktops – easy to set up multiple desktops and toggle between them.

New features include:MS Teams – new facelift and integrated into the Taskbar But note that you must have a Microsoft account, and you can only set up Windows 11 with an internet connection. It is a quick, free upgrade to Windows 11 Home via the Microsoft Store. None of our diagnostics software runs on S. The Surface Go 3 comes with Windows 11 S mode. So it just looks a little different – it is no harder to use. In a few days of use, I managed to find everything I was using in Windows 10. So, at that ‘ Shallow Hal’ level, it is still Window under the Surface – sorry, running on the Surface.

Windows 10 had a facelift and a tummy tuck, and the result is a fresher, perhaps more macOS-like interface.

But before we get to the review, what about Windows 11?
