Hands on with Windows 11: A look at the new Start Menu, taskbar and more
2021-06-20 15:46

Microsoft recently announced its Windows event for June 24 and the company has been slowly dropping hints in teasers that suggest Windows 11 or next-gen OS is around the corner.

Windows 11 preview build recently leaked online, confirming the speculation and reports that the next generation of Windows is called "Windows 11".

Unlike Windows 10 or Windows 8, Windows 11 comes with centered Start Menu and taskbar, similar to ChromeOS. Start Menu doesn't come with traditional live tiles.

Like Windows 10, Windows 11's Start Menu will show apps and websites only.

It's likely that taskbar customization options will be offered via Windows Settings to switch between different sizes of Windows taskbar.

Windows 11 looks a lot like Windows 10 and it is essentially a Windows 10X shell for Windows 10.
