Sometime 2021 Windows 11 should appear and replace Windows 10 in the long term. Microsoft promises to change new features and some improvements.

But what is important and what should any user know who consider to change to Windows 11 at the end of 2021?

Meinmmo introduces you 5 things to know you to the new operating system.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 are very similar

Who compares Windows 10 with the future new Windows 11, will quickly find that many things are known at first glance.

For earlier Windows versions, Microsoft liked to completely revise the operating system. So you had made from Windows XP to Windows 7 design adjustments and when switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 you could also watch many changes again.

With Windows 11, these adjustments are limited in size. Although Microsoft has made some adjustments, especially in the design and add some features. Many users who come from Windows 10 are likely to be able to quickly find themselves in Windows 11.

The Windows 11 upgrade is free for release

Microsoft provides upgrade to Windows 11 all users for free, which already have Windows 10. To the Windows 11 release, which should take place sometime in the winter 2021, you can download the upgrade for free.

How to update Windows? You do not need any additional software, because Windows can be updated directly via the Update menu on Windows 11. It seems more like a slightly larger Windows update.

However, the only prerequisite is that your system needs to meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11. The minimum requirements can you read here in our review article:

On Windows 11 you can use Android apps

In the future you can use on Windows 11 Android apps. This installs you directly via the Microsoft Store. Here then the official Amazon appstore is integrated. An integration of the Google Playstore has not yet been provided.

User, which mainly play and work on the PC and use an app on the smartphone, you could also use your apps directly on the PC or on your tablet computer with Windows 11 in the future.

You can use and arrange many windows at the same time

Windows 11 should make it much easier in the future if you work with multiple windows, user interfaces or monitors. This is above all a good news for users who work with two or more monitors. There is a new way to arrange windows on the desktop. You can then access your assigned windows via the taskbar.

Windows 11 also remembers how your window has arranged. If a series of windows are opened to two monitors and sets your computer to standby or pulls the second monitor, Windows should recall the construction of your windows as soon as you start the PC again or causes the monitor again.

Windows 11 gets many new gaming functions

With Windows 11, Microsoft donates its operating system some new features that should be interesting above all for gamers:

• Auto-HDR is intended for prowere graphics and above all a better illumination of the game.
• Director-based is designed for shorter loading times, but requires compatible hardware.
• XboxCloudGaming is also officially with Windows 11.

You can already use this feature with Windows 10: Microsoft has been explaining in his official blog that "Direct Storage" should already come to Windows 10. However, this is a not so powerful version. If you want to use DirecStorage throughout the scope, then you still need Windows 11.

Microsoft has now also released the open beta for Xbox Cloud Gaming. Especially the benefits for people who could not buy a quick graphics card, but still want to play with proper details. From Windows 11, the cloud service is incidentally integrated in Windows.
