Windows has always existed as a stage for innovation around the world.It is a global business foundation and a place where an up -and -coming startup company has become known.When the web was born, it grew on Windows.Many of us wrote emails for the first time and played his PC game for the first time, and Windows wrote the program code for the first time.Windows is a place for people to create, connect, learn, and achieve, and are currently used by more than 1 billion people.
The responsibility for design work for so many people is not light.In the last 18 months, our PCs have changed surprisingly.Instead of adjusting the PC to my life, I tried to match my whole life to my PC.Our device is not just for meeting, classes, and working, but also playing games with friends, watching your favorite programs, and probably the most important point of connecting each other.rice field.In the process, we have reproduced office conversations in the office, chatting in the corridor, workouts, happy hours, and holidays in the digital world.
The biggest change is that the PC we have seen and felt has become personal and emotional from practical and functional.This is the inspiration for Microsoft to build the next generation of Windows.In other words, creating, learning, playing, and above all, building a familiar place that can be connected in a new way.
I'm very happy and honored to be able to introduce Windows 11 to everyone today.
Redesed for productivity, creativity, and convenience
Microsoft has simplified design and user experience to improve your productivity and bring out creativity.Modern, fresh, clean, and beautiful design.It is designed to control all elements, such as new start buttons, taskbars, sounds, fonts, and icons, can be accurately controlled, giving calm and security.Place the start button so that you can find what you need immediately.The start button displays the files you have used recently, even if you use the power of the cloud and the Microsoft 365 to browse on a platform or device such as Android or iOS.
Windows has made it possible to work in the way you like by providing flexibility in multiple windows and a snap function that can display apps on side -by -side.Windows 11 newly introduced Snap Layouts, Snap Groups, and Desktops, making it easier to grasp multitasking and work history.These new features are designed to organize windows, optimize the use of screen space, and visually display only the necessary information in a beautiful layout.In addition, you can prepare separate desktops according to various situations in your life and customize it according to your preference.Imagine that there are different desktops for work, games, and schools.
Windows 11 removes complex ones and provides simple ease of use.
How to connect with your loved ones faster
Another important factor to get closer to what you like is that you are near your important people.In the last 18 months, new actions have been explored how to have a meaningful connection with people in the digital world.In the future, even if you return to face -to -face exchanges, the importance of easily connecting people, no matter where you are, will not change.The devices and platforms used must not be the barriers.
In Windows 11, the Microsoft Teams chat was integrated into the taskbar.Regardless of the platform or device, such as Windows, Android, and iOS, you will be able to instantly connect the contact partner in text, chat, audio, and video.Even if your opponent does not download the Teams app, you can connect with her SMS.
In Windows 11, Teams can connect with friends and family naturally, so that the taskbar can instantly release mute and cut, and start presentations directly.
Providing the best PC game experience
Windows 11 is the best platform for gamers. The game was always one of the basic elements of Windows. Today, hundreds of millions of people around the world enjoy games on Windows and find connections with loved ones and friends through play. Windows 11 maximizes the potential of system hardware and utilizes the latest game technology. For example, DirectX 12 Ultimate, which enables a high -frame rate and immersive graphics, provides a more vivid color, reducing load time and realizing a more detailed game world. There are Auto HDRs that bring a fascinating visual experience. Microsoft's commitment, which emphasizes hardware compatibility, is changing -Windows 11 supports your favorite PC games accessories and peripherals.

How to get important information faster
Windows 11 allows you to access the new feeds that have been personalized by AI and the Microsoft Edge, which provide the best browser performance in the class, allows you to access the news and information that you care about. No matter how concentrated and creative, we need a break. It is the moment to check the outside world and rest your heart. At present, we are often picking up smartphones to confirm news, weather, and notifications, but from now on, we will be able to see carefully selected information directly from the desktop. 。 When you open a personalized feed, it will be slided on the screen like a glass so that it does not interfere with the work. Widgets provide new areas in Windows to provide personalized content to creators and publishers. Our Microsoft's wishes are to provide lively information routes that can benefit both consumers and creators, both global brands and local creators.
New Microsoft Store with your favorite applications and entertainment
The new Microsoft Store is the only reliable place where you can see, make, play, work, and learn to learn. A beautiful and simple design was adopted to pursue high speed. In addition to providing more applications than ever before, it is easy to find and find all content, such as applications, games, programs, and movies, based on carefully selected stories and collections. The Microsoft Store will soon appear in the Microsoft Store, such as Microsoft Teams, Visual Studio, Disney+, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zoom, and Canva, and other leads in the industry. All of these provide wonderful experiences to enjoy, inspire, and connect. You can download the app with confidence because it has been examined from the viewpoint of security and family safety.
I'm also excited to be able to announce that we will provide Android apps on Windows for the first time.From the latter half of this year, you will be able to search for Android apps on the Microsoft Store and download via Amazon Appstore.Imagine shooting and posting videos on Tiktok, or learning virtual using Khan Academy Kids.We will introduce this service in more detail in the future.I am looking forward to the partnership with Amazon and Intel using Intel Bridge technology.
Construction of an open ecosystem that provides new opportunities to developers and creators
Microsoft is working to further open the Microsoft Store to provide a greater economic opportunity to creators and developers. Developers and independent software vendors (ISV) will allow more people to provide apps regardless of app framework, such as Win32, Progressive Web App (PWA), UNIVERSAL Windows App (UWP). We create opportunities to deliver. We will also announce that our distribution profit policy will gradually change. This allows app developers to bring their own commercial transactions into our stores and secure 100 % of revenue (there is no Microsoft share). App developers can also use our commercial transactions for competitive 85/15 distribution. We, Microsoft, provides a safe and smooth access to the apps, games, movies, shows, and web content that we need to build more open ecosystem, and ultimately lead to our customers' interests. thinking about.

Faster, safer and familiar to IT departments
For the IT department of the organization, Windows 11 is a platform built on a familiar Windows 10 foundation with consistency and compatibility.Windows 11 planning, preparation, and deployment can be done in the same way as the current Windows 10.Upgrades to Windows 11 are the same as Windows 10 updates.Microsoft Endpoint Manager, cloud configuration, Windows Update for Business, Autopilot, etc., are now familiar with the management functions after moving to Windows 11.
Like Windows 10, Microsoft is committed to application compatibility.This is the main design principle of Windows 11.App assure, a service that solves application issues for customers with more than 150 users, promises that your application will operate on Windows 11.
In addition, Windows 11 incorporates security from the design stage and provides protection functions from chips to cloud while enhancing productivity and new experiences using newly built -in security technology.Windows 11 offers a zero -trading operating system that protects data and access in multiple devices.We work closely with OEM partners and silicone partners to raise security standards that meet the changing security threats and new hybrid work needs.
For more information on Windows 11 as an operating system for hybrid work and learning, see the Microsoft 365 blog.
Now when it's perfect for buying a PC
Since the first day of Windows 11 development, Microsoft has been working closely with hardware and silicone partners for seamless cooperation between software and hardware.This joint development begins with the innovation of the silicon chip.The best functions of Windows 11 due to the innovation of silicone partner, such as the tremendous graphics brought by AMD Ryzen processors, the 11th generation and EVO processor of Intel, which boasts outstanding performance, AI -related abilities of Qualcom, 5G, and ARM support.And the world's largest hardware acosystem is fused.
In addition, in cooperation with Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Surface, etc., most PC*that can currently be purchased can be supported in Windows 11 in various form factors and price range.
Under such cooperation, we performed tuning work to improve the speed and efficiency of Windows 11, and to improve user experience using touch, ink, and audio.
When using Windows 11 on a tablet without a keyboard, a large space between the icon of the taskbar and the icon, enlarged the touch target, and facilitates the size and moving of the window. I improved the touch operation experience, such as adding clues and gestures. In addition, we provide Haptics to make the pen use more attractive and immersive. This allows you to hear and feel vibration when you click to edit or sketch. The last point I want to add is to further strengthen voice typing. Windows 11's voice recognition capacity is powerful, automatically hit punctuation and supports voice commands. This is the best feature when you want to interrupt the input work with the keyboard and make your ideas into words.
Windows 11 will be provided by free upgrades on the target Windows 10 PC, and will be installed on a new PC coming out of this year's holiday season. To confirm whether your current Windows 10 PC is a free upgrade of Windows 11, access Windows.com and download the PC Health Check app. In addition, we will cooperate with the sales partner so that the Windows 10 PC that customers are currently purchasing can respond to upgrades to Windows 11. The free upgrade will be applied to the target Windows 10 PC from 2022 from this year's holiday season. Next week, we will publish the Windows 11 early build on Windows Insider Program. Windows Insider Program is a passionate Windows fan community, and the feedback received is important for us.
This is just the beginning
Windows is more than just operating system.It is a place to connect with people, which is deeply woven in our lives and work, and a place to learn, work, and play.For a long time, we have been accustomed to and compatible for us.We hope that Windows 11 is very expected to be very expected.I am not looking forward to how Windows 11 supports people and how creativity is brought.
