All new Windows 11 Beta Features, News and Info as of August 21

Windows 11 is finally on its way. Microsoft unveiled “the next generation of Windows” at its virtual event in June, and with it, some big changes to the long-standing operating system, including its first name change in six years. The announcement follows Microsoft’s rollout of the latest version of Windows 10, the Windows 10 May 2021 update (also known as version 21H1). 

Windows 11 includes a slew of new features, such as the ability to download and run Android apps on your Windows PC and updates to Microsoft Teams, the Start menu and the overall look of the software, which is more clean and Mac-like in design.
