14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has officially released a new Windows 11 teaser, and this time the focus is on the desktop that will be part of the new operating system.
While the company doesn’t seemingly show too many details, it does confirm that the leaked wallpapers that made the web earlier this month are indeed real.
And if the wallpapers are the real deal, then the leaked operating system as a whole is real too, which means Windows 11 is all but confirmed right now.
The Redmond-based software giant will hold a dedicated Windows event on June 24, and the company is expected to provide us with a closer look at everything coming in Windows 11.
What’s new in Windows 11
According to the build that got leaked earlier this month, Windows 11 will represent a modern overhaul of Windows 10 not only in terms of features but also when it comes to looks.
Windows 11 will therefore come with features borrowed from Windows 10X, the dual-screen operating system that has reportedly been canceled already. For example, there’s a new Start menu in Windows 11, and this time, all taskbar icons, as well the Start menu itself, are centered.
Furthermore, Microsoft is working on a series of new features for Windows 11, while also planning to bring back the startup sound, all for an approach that’s supposed to make this operating system feel fresh from one end to another.
What we still don’t know is who gets Windows 11 and whether Microsoft plans to make it available free of charge. According to the typical release schedule, Windows 11 is projected to see the daylight in the fall of this year, with preview builds to begin landing in the Windows Insider program shortly after the June 24 announcement.
