Key Changes in the New Windows 11

From a report by CNBC, there are seven changes which you can notice about the teased Windows 11. Here they are:

Start Button

Previously, the start button was located on the right side of the screen. With the new change in Microsoft's OS, it is now moved to the center together with the desktop icons. At first, users will have a hard time adjusting to its position.

On the bright side, some people can manage to easily adapt from it, especially those who have wide monitors on their PCs. For people who want to use it in its old version, go to the Settings and look for the Taskbar. You can now relocate the Start button to its original position.

Start Menu

The most obvious change that you can see here is the placement of Pinned programs in the menu. You might find this to be awkward so you could revert to the usual position of the programs. To do that, have a quick screen grab of your desktop and use it as a basis to arrange your programs later when you upgrade your windows to its latest version.

Settings
