Microsoft has released Windows 11 now and brought it earlier for users a day before its actual release, and the public now has the chance to get the next-generation operating system for computers.
The Windows system does not get that much of a change, unlike Apple's macOS that brings different names for its OS's upgrade, like the Big Sur and its transition to macOS 12 Monterey. However, Windows still bring new features to every update to help the PC achieve more, especially as it keeps up with the latest trends in features, security, and more.
