Microsoft will introduce the Windows 11 operating system next week. Although the Redmonds claimed in 2015 that the “dozens” are the latest version of Windows at all, the new management seems to have a different opinion. Apparently, Microsoft was inspired by Apple, who also used last year’s redesign macOS to promote the long-used tens to eleven. Although the development of Windows 11 in Redmond is guarded by the eye in the head, one of the internal test versions has now reached the Internet, and so the Internet began to fill with the first knowledge of its use.
Windows 11 in the first screenshots
The 21996.1 build was released on the Internet, which is far from final, but nevertheless reveals the first changes that Microsoft is preparing for the “eleven”. First of all, we can say goodbye to the original Start menu; it will be replaced by its equivalent from the canceled Windows 10X.
What does it mean? Live tiles disappear from Start forever and are replaced by classic icons. Pinned icons will appear at the top of the Start screen, with the option to switch to a list of all installed applications, while the bottom will contain a menu of recommended applications. The bottom line will then belong to the user account icon and quick accesses to set up and shut down / restart the device.

The main panel will also be upgraded, which will now have a macOS-aligned icon centered, but we also expect the option to switch traditionally to the right. New application icons are visible in the taskbar, which mix with the original ones.

Windows 11 will also get a brand new installation menu, boot sound, as well as new default wallpapers, others for light and dark mode.

The appearance of the windows looks unchanged, only a slight rounding awaits us. The same goes for the Settings screen, which confirms that the next Windows will actually be numbered 11.
The presence of the original Action Center is quite surprising, but it is quite possible that the final version will receive an innovated offer inspired by the canceled Windows 10X.
