  • Find out about 5 features that'll make Windows 11 even better. Speak to your PC and have your computer write what you see, including all punctuation. Set up multiple desktops to separate your work and customize those desktops with names, backgrounds, and ordering. Snap your windows more easily using a new snapping helper. Also, find out about PowerToys, which allows even more power and control over snapping windows. Quickly restore groups of tabs using tab groups so you don't have to re-arrange your snapped windows after minimizing. Widgets give you relevant information, like weather, tasks, calendar, with just one click. Lastly, as a bonus, we look at the secret start menu, which gives you quick access to settings and the task manager.

    Hi Kevin, thank you for these wonderful tips. One of the most important statements from Win 11 is the promise of the combination of full desktop OS power + the mobility/simplicity of mobile OS. This is also the area Apple purposely avoided. We have to ask what's the purpose to equip M1 chip in an iPad Pro? Surface Pro X can run Win 11 smoothly. With the touchscreen feature, it's a true pleasure to experience this combination (Surface Pro X + Win11). Would you mind showing us more from this area? Thanks again.

    Allowing different desktops to be shown on separate monitors would be great for apps that don't allow multiple instances. Show on all desktops and then move one desktop to display on another monitor is exactly what I need. Sigh.
