Microsoft has moved your Windows Start button. You can still move it. What do you think which is better among Windows 11 Vs Windows 10? Let’s have a look at amazing facts about Windows 11 here!
Microsoft announced Thursday a number of changes to the software that powers your home computer or laptop at work. Microsoft aims to make Windows 11 more relevant in a world that has experienced a new type of communication and work. Microsoft’s video chat service Teams has been integrated into Windows 11. In a first, Android apps will also be available for use on the new devices.
Microsoft’s defense is evident with this upgrade, which is the first major Windows update in six years. Windows 10 is still the most used desktop and laptop computer software with around 1.3 billion users. However, in recent years it has lost market share to computers using Google’s Internet-focused Chrome OS (especially in schools) and to Macs by long-standing rival Apple.
Linn Huang, an analyst at IDC, said that Windows fell to 75% in the first quarter of 2018, from more than 80% by 2020. This decline can be partly attributed to COVID-19 supply limitations on Windows PCs, but it also shows that Windows faces a long-term challenge appealing to consumers outside of corporate IT systems. Smartphones have been the most important device in people’s lives for the past decade. Windows do not run on any of these devices.
Facts About Windows 11

This is the latest step towards combining mobile and laptop devices. Something Windows users have been eagerly awaiting for years.
