What to anticipate from the Windows 11 event

It feels, in some manner, as if the Windows 11 launch event already happened. Earlier this year, a Windows 11 build leaked online, revealing what appears to be a near-final form of the upcoming operating-system. For a introduction to the brand new interfaces and features, I'll lead you to our Windows 11 guide.

Before I go any further, Microsoft hasn't even acknowledged the existence of a Windows 11 OS. What we should can say for certain is that a change of Windows 10, called Sun Valley, has long been within the works. Simultaneously, Microsoft decided to produce Windows 10X - a lightweight OS originally meant for foldable and dual-screen devices - before abandoning the project.

Then Microsoft started teasing Windows 11 by scheduling this upcoming event at 11am EST. OK, so that isn't much of a hint. However, Microsoft later posted an exactly 11-minute long video of Windows start-up sounds. Individuals have also theorized the shadows cast from the Windows logo in Microsoft's event invite (begin to see the top shot of this article) seem like an "11." Then, of course, the leak arrived with references to Windows 11 throughout.

In line with the leaked build, we expect Microsoft to show Windows 11 with a new Taskbar, Start Menu, Widgets and more. It will take the basic aspects of Windows 10 and beautify them with new animations and icons.

You might be wondering when the event is even worth watching given just how much we already know about Windows 11. Remember, what leaked was not the final version of the OS. For all of us, we want Microsoft to deal with some things not seen in the leaked build, including upgrade plans in addition to possible changes to the app store, File Explorer and the User interface.
