Similarly, you can create multiple new desktops in Windows 11 from the taskbar. So, if you are using the same PC for work and entertainment, you can create separate desktops for both of them and enhance your overall experience.

Other than emphasizing eye-catching new design and better user experience, Microsoft has further elevated its security measures with Windows 11.

1. 4.      Microsoft Store

Microsoft Store hasn't been used much by Windows users in the past. That's what made Microsoft bring a whole new Microsoft Store experience in Windows 11. Microsoft claims that the new Microsoft Store is going to be more responsive, reliable, and apps rich.

Android apps are going to be listed in the new Windows Store and can run natively on Windows 11 by downloading them from Amazon's Appstore. This means apps like TikTok, Netflix, Disney Plus, and thousands of other apps are all going to be accessible in Windows 11.

1. 5.      Widgets

Windows 11 comes with "Widgets" that can be quickly accessed from the taskbar. Widgets is an AI-driven customizable feed that shows you information about weather, news, calendar, to-do list, stocks, and similar other useful data.

Minimum System Requirements - A Concern
