Hi everyone,

Windows 11 is due next month. You’ll be able to upgrade from Windows 10 for free (we’ll be in touch to do this for you).

And with the stylish new look comes a load of new tools that we can’t wait to see. Here are four my team and I are excited about.

1)    Teams

Since the way we work has changed so much in the last 18 months, Teams has been worth its weight in gold. And Microsoft knows it. So, Teams will be integrated into the OS. You’ll be able to access it directly from the taskbar.

2)   Your desktop on any Windows 11 device

There will be better virtual desktop support. That means you can access your profile on any device that has Windows 11, making it even easier for you to work anywhere at any time. This is excellent news for people hot desking; hybrid workers; or for switching between your personal and work profiles.

3)   Widgets

Although widgets aren’t new, they’ve been given a makeover, making them more accessible directly from your taskbar. You’ll even be able to personalise them, making it simpler to access the ones you need at a click.

4)  Android apps

Windows 11 will support Android apps. Hooray!

Gone are the days you had to make do with the limited selection of apps on offer. You’ll be able to use the Amazon Appstore to access a huge range of apps, making your life easier.

Of course, you might not want your team to be able to install Android apps on their computers.

This is something we can talk through with you, and help you make the right decision for your business. Give the shop a call on 01479 811799
