Windows 11 setup: NEW UI design vs. legacy hands-on

Windows 11 is real and will be the next version of the operating system that will eventually replace Windows 10, which Microsoft is touting as the most significant update in more than a decade. Although the operating system has not yet been officially unveiled, an internal preview (Build 21996) recently made its way online, revealing many of the new user interface (UI) changes and features that are expected to ship with the final version of Windows 11 this fall.

In this hands-on video, you'll get a first look at the new Start menu with its more minimalist design, traditional icons, and no Live Tiles. You'll also get to know the updated taskbar that aligns all items in the center of the screen. In addition, the video shows the new widgets feature, improvements to the Task View and Windows Ink experience, and the new system sounds.

Windows 11 is also expected to ship with new multitasking improvements, including a new Snap Layouts feature that is part of the Snap Assist system. This is a menu that appears when you hover over a window's maximize button and gives you a visual aid for pinning windows to the screen. The menu offers different layouts you can use depending on the size of your monitor. Additionally, when using the updated snapping feature, the taskbar will now show the groups the app belongs to when you hover over the button.
