Windows 11 22H2

Windows 11 is a free operating system that serves as an upgrade to Windows 10, offering improved apps and functionality compared to previous versions like Windows 7. It competes with other top PC platforms such as Linux and macOS. While there are several exciting new features to look forward to, it's important to note that strict requirements must be met, including having at least 64 GB of available storage space.

Officially launched on October 5, 2021, Windows 11 was rolled out to computers gradually. If your device doesn't have Windows 10 as the Microsoft operating system, you'll need to purchase a license to acquire it. It's worth mentioning that only 64-bit versions are available, although support for 32-bit apps is provided.

Since Microsoft announced the release of Windows 11, there has been a great deal of anticipation surrounding the new operating system. However, even after the update was released, many users had to wait as it rolled out to different countries at different times and stages. This approach ensured a safe installation process without overwhelming servers. Despite some initial reports of slow performance and glitches, Microsoft has been actively addressing these issues based on user feedback. Many of these problems were already dealt with during the beta stage, but new ones may still arise as the system goes live.

One of the most noticeable changes in Windows 11 is the new visual interface. The main taskbar is now located at the bottom of the screen, as opposed to the left, and the icons are centered, giving the interface a cleaner look. However, this is the extent of the visual excitement you can expect from Windows 11.

A notable feature is Snap Layout, which allows you to split your screen into different sections. This feature is particularly useful for multitasking, as you can watch a stream in one section while working on your documents in another. There are various layout designs to choose from, allowing you to prioritize certain zones over others.

Gamers will appreciate the enhanced performance of Windows 11, which may explain the high PC requirements. Additionally, Windows 11 includes a built-in Android emulator, enabling you to play mobile games on your computer. You can log into your account and earn achievements as well.

If you enjoyed the Gadgets feature that was present in Windows 7, you'll be pleased to know that Windows 11 introduces a similar feature called Widgets. These widgets can be accessed from the taskbar and can be customized to display shortcuts to your calendar, news, OneDrive, and more. This feature has been hinted at in recent Windows 10 updates, particularly in the weather section.

Windows 11 also includes Microsoft Teams, eliminating the need to install separate conferencing apps. You can sign in or create an account, and your chats will appear as notifications. Additionally, Windows 11 provides easy access to meeting screens.

Before upgrading to Windows 11, it's important to ensure that your PC meets the system requirements. In addition to the 64 GB storage requirement, other specifications are quite high. Older computers with 32-bit systems and outdated graphics cards may not be able to run Windows 11. You'll also need a decent amount of onboard memory, with at least 4GB of RAM, and a processor with 2 cores or more. To check if your PC can run Windows 11, you can download and install Microsoft's official PC Health Check tool. This tool will evaluate your system and highlight any missing or outdated components. Windows Defender will also notify you if your system is incompatible.

Windows 11 requires TPM (Trust Platform Module), which is a security component that communicates with other security software on your operating system. TPM acts as a last line of defense against hackers when your antivirus and VPN tools fail. Web browsers and other programs use TPM to ensure the security of your data. Enabling TPM varies depending on your motherboard, and you may need to update your BIOS or UEFI settings. Some motherboard manufacturers, such as ASUS, already include TPM in their BIOS updates, eliminating the need for manual changes.
