Changes and Improvements from Windows 10 to Windows 11….  

When comparing Windows 10 and 11, visually the new upgrade display has a modern, stylist design, with the ability to customise new widgets and icons on a simplistic, easy to use layout. Windows 11 includes a multitude of new features compared to Windows 10, with a purpose to make navigating your PC much easier, whether you’re using it for work, personal use, or both. The software is equipped with completely revamped applications, a clean user interface and a number of improvements including the ability to support and run android apps.  

A key new feature that will attract many users is the integration of Microsoft Teams. This has been directly integrated into the Windows 11 Taskbar making it easier to access. You will also be able to utilise Teams from Mac, Android, iOS, or Windows. The upgrade also comes with better virtual desktop support. Windows 11 will allow you to create virtual desktops in a way that is more similar to MacOS. Another reason to upgrade is that Microsoft have announced they will stop supporting Windows 10 in 2025. This means Microsoft will terminate feature updates and security upgrades for the Windows 10 users.
