Windows 11 Pro

Windows 11 immediately impresses users with a brand new interface that follows current design trends – for their latest operating system, Microsoft have put significant effort into modernizing and streamlining the UI which now boasts a contemporary rounded look and motion design, giving it a light, dynamic feel.

Other notable features and improvements include:

• New Start Menu – when opened, the new Start menu puts all content and icons at the center of the screen and gives the user quick access to the Search bar, the Pinned applications, recommended apps and files, and a few more system tools and features. The taskbar has also been redesigned and now features centered icon alignment, bouncy icons and slightly different functionalities.
• Improved desktop layout – several new apps like Snap Assist and Desktop Groups provide a great way to multitask and optimize desktop space and workflow.
• Enhanced Microsoft Teams – the popular communication tool is now integrated directly into the Windows 11 system, resulting in faster access, ease of use, and improved performance. Home users can chat through the Teams app directly from the system taskbar.
  Note: The integrated version of MS Teams is for mostly for home and personal use; for commercial use, customers are advised to purchase a Teams subscription.
• Revised Settings – the Settings app has undergone some quite useful changes: the items are arranged in a list, the menu is more compact and easier to navigate, and the various options are grouped more logically (e.g. “Power & Sleep” and “Battery”, both relating to energy saving, are now in one section called “Power & Battery”).
• New and improved Widgets – the new Widgets feature lets users see personalised content about stocks, world news, the weather, traffic and more.
• Enriched Microsoft Store – Microsoft Store introduces the Library feature which provides easy migration from one device to another thanks to the ability to download the apps owned by the migrating user directly from the store. Additionally, it will start including Android apps and providing better support for developers and creators. The store’s new rules regarding app distribution will also increase safety, as free apps like Zoom, VLC player and even LibreOffice will be allowed, reducing the risk of shady paid copycats.
• Hybrid work ready – Windows 11 comes with many features and tools dedicated to hybrid work that are easy to deploy and manage by any IT department that uses Azure services.
