Microsoft Windows 11
Starting Summer 2024, the Office of Innovative Technology Solutions will be upgrading devices from Microsoft Windows 10 to Microsoft Windows 11. Here's a breakdown of the key changes between Windows 10 and Windows 11:
Look and Feel:
- Windows 11 is Sleeker: It has a redesigned Start Menu with pinned apps and recommendations, centered taskbar icons (though you can change this), and more rounded corners throughout.
- Live Tiles are Gone: The customizable live tiles from the Windows 10 Start Menu are replaced with static icons.
- New Widgets Bar: Windows 11 offers a new widget bar for quick access to news, weather, and other information.
Multitasking and Workspaces:
- Snap Layouts for Power Users: Windows 11 offers improved multitasking with Snap Layouts, which helps you arrange and resize windows on your screen.
- Multiple Desktops: Both versions have virtual desktops, but Windows 11 makes them easier to manage and switch between.
Things to Consider:
- Some Features Removed: A few features from Windows 10, like Internet Explorer and Timeline, are gone in Windows 11.
- Learning Curve: The new Start Menu and taskbar layout might take some getting used to for Windows 10 users.
