Windows 11 has been out for a few months now. It has been largely well-received and seen as stable with very few bugs noted.
One of the reasons that Windows 11 has been welcomed for both home and business computer upgrades is that it isn’t a huge difference from Windows 10. This upgrade is mainly focused on helping users do tasks faster and find things more easily. If you are not sure about whether or not to upgrade to Windows 11, we will go through several of the most helpful features below that might make you want to upgrade sooner rather than later.
Snap Layouts
The struggle with trying to work in more than one window at a time on your PC screen. You can end up spending time resizing the windows just right, then need to open a window to full size to reach a scroll bar and end up back at square one.
Snap layouts in Windows 11 is a feature designed to solve this problem by providing the user with several options for window arrangements that snap windows into place. The view is designed so you can reach all scroll bars and menu items in a particular app window.
Snap Layout is one of the most time-saving features and it’s easy to use.
Texting & Video Calls from Teams on the Desktop
Teams is now integrated on the taskbar, there is no application you need to install. Setup only takes a few minutes and involves you putting in your name and a mobile phone number.
Using the Microsoft Teams icon from the desktop, you can instantly begin connecting to people via SMS or video/audio chat. You can even share a screen during your meetings.
The To Do Widget
One of the helpful features you can use is the To Do widget. It allows you to quickly create a task list and check off those tasks without having to open another application.
The widget can be added in seconds to your panel and can be quite a time-saver.
Streamlined Start/Search Menu
You can save a lot of time by using the Start/Search menu instead. Click the Windows icon on the taskbar and type your search keyword at the top.
This is a main search that will bring up documents, settings, applications, and even web pages. Searching using the Start Menu is faster than trying to find a file in the Explorer.
Task View
You can use the task view icon on the taskbar to create a different virtual desktop with different open applications and documents. For example, you could keep your email open on one virtual desktop and then use another when you’re in a video call and sharing screen.
