But now in Windows 11, you can see the, in the bottom middle section on the taskbar. The entire app icons are centered and cleaned the tray area and also added the new design of some of the apps icons.
We can also find the Widget section in the Taskbar just like in Windows 10 that allows us to quickly access to the latest news articles, updated weather condition, and other contents. It seems like the Widget will be the same just like the previous one.
Apart from this, you can find as usual quick control from the bottom right side on the taskbar.
New Start Menu
There is a whole new change in the look of the Windows Start menu on the taskbar. Previously, you can find the live tiles start menu option on the left side but now it was replaced with the “Windows logo.” Plus, the start menu is also placed in the center of the taskbar.

In the new Windows 11, we might see an improvement in the shutdown, restart and wake or sleep feature. Previously, we find these features are slow and take time to complete.
New Tablet Mode
Microsoft has introduced the tablet mode since Windows 8. Most of the users don’t like that feature that much because of the bad UI (User Interface).
However, there is a rumor that Microsoft has improved their Tablet mode with a new layer of gesture. It will place the tablet mode above the user interface and the user can actually gesture or functions the features using their track-pad.
There is also a refinement in the voice feature as well as the pen control so that it will be easier to command your Windows. It is most likely to be rumored so we can’t completely say that Microsoft will bring changes on Tablet mode in the new Windows 11.
New File Explorer
Another change in the Windows 11 is the file explorer. It hasn’t been gone through the vast changes but you can find whole new icons for Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Video as well as the local disk.
Other than this, there is not much difference between the Successor Windows 10 and Windows 11.
New Snap Control
Snap control is another new change or feature in the upcoming Windows 11. Rumor said that you can maximize and minimize your entire apps or folder or file explore in different shapes and locations.
The snap control on Windows OS is like a cascade function where you can quickly arrange your windows in any part or side of your laptop screen.
New Xbox Tool and Apps
There will a new design or improvement on the Xbox feature on Windows 11. We heard that Windows 11 is directly integrated with Xbox app allows you to play games, control over Xbox apps, and network more easier and quicker.
However, you will find the exact same Xbox game bar as well as Windows game mode similar to Windows 10.
Here is a video on YouTube from TechTalkTv, where he has shown his experience, and how does a new Windows 11 actually looks like.
Windows 11 Price
It will not cost you anything to use Windows 11 on your desktop or laptop if you are already using Windows 7, 8, or 10. Simply, upgrade from your current Windows to Windows 11 for free.
However, if you own a new laptop and you want to use the Windows operating system (OS) then you have to purchase the Windows at certain price of around $100. It is because you need a Windows activation key to use the fully activated or genuine version of Windows.
You can also purchase the ISO file of activated Windows from the Windows distribution websites by paying less amount than the actual cost.
