• A redesigned version of the Start button, located in the middle of the screen.


• Integration of the Microsoft Teams app - the collaboration app that is becoming widespread in working environments.


• Improved use of Widgets, so your favourite items can be accessed directly from the Taskbar. They can also be customized so that you can use them exactly as you like.

• The ability to download and use Android apps with Windows 11.


• An enhanced computer health check option in Settings, for getting the best performance out of your device.
