What to expect during the Windows 11 launch event

If you missed the latest tech news, the big M is most likely preparing a completely new operating system called Windows 11, faster and better than its predecessor. Despite the fact that a few years ago Microsoft suggested that Windows 10 will be its last OS, things have changed.

• A completely new set of Wallpapers
• A different sound scheme, with brand-new startup sounds
• Redesigned Start Menu with more customization options
• More screen options, including top/bottom split screen
• A native Dark Mode that can be enabled directly from Settings
• Improved performance for low-end devices and increased FPS for gamers
• New features and look for Microsoft Edge
• And lots of new tweaks, improvements, and design changes to the OS
