It’s unfortunate that the leaked Windows 11 build prevented Microsoft to wow everyone with its new OS on Thursday, but the company probably has kept many new Windows 11 features under wraps.
#MICROSOFT UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 10 THURSDAYS WINDOWS 10#
Even though Windows 10 will be supported until 2025, a less fragmented Windows ecosystem is better for everyone, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently teased big new opportunities for app developers on the next generation of Windows. There are now over 1.3 billion active devices running Windows 10, and it’s in Microsoft’s best interest to get all these devices on the Windows 11 bandwagon as soon as possible. This means that Windows users can enjoy free updates for their devices, and Windows 11 should work fine on most PCs already running Windows 10.

If Microsoft still makes a lot of money by selling Windows licenses to PC manufacturers, the company now treats Windows as a service.
#MICROSOFT UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 10 THURSDAYS UPGRADE#
XDA-Developers recently found Windows 11 configuration keys in the leaked build suggesting that Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users will be able to upgrade to the new OS for free. Microsoft offered Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users back in 2015, and we expect the company to do the same with Windows 11. This isn’t really surprising coming from a non-final build, and we hope that the Windows 11 demo Microsoft will show us on Thursday will reveal have some surprises. There’s a lot to like in the leaked Windows 11 build we’ve played with, though some parts of the OS have been left untouched, including File Explorer or the volume pop up. Windows Widgets will be 1st-party only initially, with 3rd-party support comes later. However, Windows 11 introduces a new widget menu in the taskbar that currently looks like a revamped version of the current news and interests taskbar widget on Windows 10, and it will be interesting to see if Microsoft will eventually add support for external widgets, as the usually reliable Microsoft leaker WalkingCat recently suggested: Microsoft is probably right to finally move away from Live Tiles, even though many users will likely miss them.

Live Tiles are gone, marking an end to an experiment that started with Windows Phone back in 2010 and was later expanded to Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Overall, Windows 11 looks like Windows 10 with a fresh coat of paint and a more cohesive design, though the new Start Menu inspired by Windows 10X may be quite disorienting. We invite you to watch our Windows 11 segment below where our own Arif and Kareem show footage of all the biggest changes in this leaked build, including the new Start Menu and animations, as well as the main changes regarding the multitasking experience, the touch and tablet modes, and the new ways to manage virtual desktops. If you missed our latest OnPodcast episode, we discussed the leaked Windows 11 build in great detail. The Chief Product Officer is now overseeing both Surface devices and Windows development at Microsoft, and this should hopefully lead to better integrations between hardware and software, something that Apple has now become very good at. Microsoft recently announced that it had shelved Windows 10X to focus all of its resources on Windows, and Windows 11 will also be the first version of the OS to launch under Panos Panay’s leadership. A new Windows version is a good opportunity for PC manufacturers to sell new devices, and Microsoft also seems to have realized the importance of Windows during this worldwide pandemic. In two days, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Chief Product Officer will have the opportunity to claim back the Windows 11 narrative and explain the reasoning behind this major Windows release. The influence of Windows 10X is quite obvious with the redesigned Start Menu and centered taskbar, but there are many other noticeable changes including new animations and rounded corners almost everywhere. Like many of you, we’ve already had the chance to play with the leaked Windows 11 build, which is believed to be a close-to-final version of the new OS. What’s next? Find out June 24th at 11 am ET when we go live.

The event will kick off at 11AM ET, and Microsoft continued the teasing this week with a series of tweets.
After a leak of an unfinished Windows 11 build last week pretty much spoiled the surprise, Microsoft is expected to officially unveil the next version of Windows this Thursday, June 24.
