to customize each desktop with different backgrounds and apps.

Performance and Security

UEFI firmware with Secure Boot capability, TPM version 2.0, and a DirectX 12
compatible graphics card.
● Compatibility Mode: For older applications, Windows 11 includes a compatibility mode
to help ensure that most software that ran on Windows 10 will also work on Windows 11.
Widgets and Integration

● Widgets: Windows 11 introduces a new Widgets feature, providing personalized news,


weather, calendar, and to-do lists at a glance.
● Microsoft Teams Integration: Teams is integrated directly into the taskbar, making it
easier for users to connect with friends, family, and colleagues.

Updates and Support

● Windows Update: Windows 11 aims to make updates smaller and more efficient,
running in the background to reduce disruption.
● Support Lifecycle: Microsoft will provide regular updates and support for Windows 11,
similar to their approach with Windows 10.
