Security News > 2021 > June > Windows 11 Leaked - What we know so far about Microsoft's new OS
An alleged preview build for Windows 11 has been leaked, confirming the new name for Microsoft's next generation of Windows and providing a glimpse of the new features.
At first glance, Windows 11 looks a lot like Windows 10 with a design overhaul that includes colorful icons, rounded corners, and new animations.
The first change users will see during the installation of Windows 11 is a new Windows logo, which is a simpler version of the existing Windows 10 logo.
The most significant change Windows users will notice is the new Windows 11 Start Menu.
Borrowed directly from the now on-hold Windows 10X, the new Windows 11 Start Menu floats above the taskbar and is centered directly in the middle of the screen.
As Windows users worldwide install the leaked build, new features will likely be discovered and shared before Microsoft's upcoming Windows event.
