Windows 11 Could Be Launched in October 2021

Windows 11 Could Be Launched in October 2021

Microsoft has already confirmed that Windows 11 is projected to be launched later this year, and while no other specifics were provided, the company itself dropped some hints the big event could take place at some point in October.

The timing seems just about right. Microsoft typically releases Windows 10 feature update in the fall, either in October or November after previously finalizing the development in September or October.

And now that Windows 11 is supposed to come alongside Windows 10 version 21H2, though it’s not yet known if the two would see the daylight at the same time, it makes sense for the new operating system to also make its debut in October or November.

According to Microsoft watcher Zac Bowden, Microsoft is expected to finalize Windows 11 in September, so the operating system could be signed off mid next month. The company itself could share the launch date of Windows 11 in a week or two, he says, and the first users could get it on October 19.

7 Key Features of "Windows 11"

Here are a few of the standout new features in Windows 11:

  • Mac-like interface: Windows 11 features a clean design with rounded corners, pastel shades and a centered Start menu and Taskbar.
  • Integrated Android apps: Android apps will be coming to Windows 11 and installable from within the new Microsoft Store via the Amazon Appstore. (There were a couple of ways to access Android apps on Windows 10, including if you had a Samsung Galaxy phone, but this will make it native.)
  • Cool Widgets: While they've been around for a while,  you can now access widgets directly from the Taskbar and personalize them to see whatever you'd like.
  • Microsoft Teams integration: Teams is getting a face-lift and will be integrated directly into the Windows 11 Taskbar, making it easier to access (and a bit more like Apple's FaceTime). You'll be able to access Microsoft Teams from Windows, Mac, Android or iOS.
  • Xbox tech for better gaming: Windows 11 will get certain features found in Xbox consoles, like Auto HDR and DirectStorage, to improve gaming on your Windows PC.
  • Better virtual desktop support: Windows 11 will let you set up virtual desktops in a way that's more similar to MacOS, toggling between multiple desktops for personal, work, school or gaming use. You can also change your wallpaper on each virtual desktop.
    Easier transition from monitor to laptop, and better multitasking. The new OS includes features called Snap Groups and Snap.
  •  Better Layouts: collections of the apps you're using at once that sit in the Taskbar, and can come up or be minimized at the same time for easier task switching. They also let you plug and unplug from a monitor more easily without losing where your open windows are located.
