He noted that the developers paid great attention to simplifying the user interface, improving performance and other important elements.

Windows 11 has been officially unveiled. The operating system is similar to the one that leaked earlier, although there are slight differences. The Start menu is located in the center of the taskbar, there is a separate widget panel.
A significant part of the design decisions used in the Windows 10X interface migrated to Windows 11 to make the look of the OS simpler and more modern.
The system is claimed to have improved work with multiple monitors, increased energy efficiency and adaptation to devices with touch displays. For example, when you turn off the second monitor, all applications that were on it are minimized there. And when you reconnect, they are restored in the same place.
Microsoft has accelerated Windows 11 in most tasks, and the size of updates has decreased by 40%. In this case, the download and installation of updates will go in the background. In addition, it is stated that the novelty is the most secure OS in the family.

Windows 11 will support a data loading acceleration mechanism called the DirectStorage API. it will improve the performance of games, as it will allow you to download data directly to the video card, bypassing the CPU. This should speed up the work, although it is not known by how much.

OS update
You can upgrade to Windows 11 for free with a license for Windows 10. The release version is scheduled for release in the fall. At the same time, the first preview build of Windows 11 will appear next week.
System Requirements
As it turns out, Windows 11 will only run on 64-bit systems. To run, you need 4 GB of RAM and a DirectX 12-capable graphics card. For comparison, Windows 10 had only 2 GB, while Windows 8/8.1 had 1 GB. Also among the requirements mentioned is a dual-core processor with a frequency of at least 1 GHz and 64 GB of disk space. Thus, on older computers, the system will no longer start.
It is also important to have TPM 2.0 (a hardware module on the motherboard) and Secure Boot (secure boot mode in the BIOS).
