A Brief Guide to Windows 11 Changes

While the main differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 are behind the scenes, users will notice a visual overhaul that introduces softer, rounded edges to windows, menus, and icons. Included with that is a different approach to the Taskbar and Start Menu as well as expanded functionality for multiple windows for those who tend to have a lot of things open at one time.

As far as other improvements, for those who are curious, Windows 11 is also slightly less hardware intensive than 10 so those with older machines may notice a little more responsiveness in general when opening applications or doing other business process related tasks.

If you'd like to explore Windows 11 without any guidance you'll need to read no further.  However, for those who may want to keep as much consistency between versions as possible, below will be questions you may find yourself asking as well as detailed guides for how to get everything in it's right place again.

Evolution of the Multi-task, Multi-Screen, Multi-Window Multiverse

Despite moving everything around and changing things up, Windows 11 does add some extra functionality for those who like to weave a web of windows.  For those familiar with multiple monitor functionality, Windows 10 had the ability to split the screen into halves or quarters by dragging a window to the edges or corner.  Windows 11 takes this a step further giving users more configuration options for arranging things as well as the ability to group related windows together and pull them up at the same time.
