Windows 11 is due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months. You can even install and use Android apps via the Amazon Appstore, although a workaround lets you use the Google Play Store instead. Windows 11 on tablets is much improved thanks to the introduction of gestures and a new on-screen keyboard that much more similar to the one on your phone.

There’s a new widgets panel which can show the weather, stocks, news and other things – seemingly replacing the old Start Menu’s live tiles – and improved grouping and snapping of open Windows so you can focus more easily on what you’re trying to do. You’ll also find rounded corners everywhere you look and a new centrally positioned Start Menu, although you can return the latter to the side if you’d prefer. What’s Windows 11 like?Ĭlearly wanting to avoid upsetting millions by making radical changes (as it ultimately did with Windows 8), Microsoft has kept the same basic layout, albeit with a significant redesign.

This full guide aims to answer every question you might have about the OS, linking out to our extensive Windows 11 coverage. But despite its simple design, there’s plenty of different elements to the Windows 11, many of which are worth exploring in more detail.
