Just before the announcement next week, a new leak posted on the Chinese website Baidu reveals Microsoft's next operating system - Windows 11. From the photos you can see that the version will come with a completely redesigned user interface.



The design is reminiscent of Windows 10X, a slim version developed by the software giant for dual-screen computers - such as folding screens, just before it canceled the project last month.

The biggest change that will come in Windows 11 can be found in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen - Microsoft allows you to center all the icons, including the mythical "Start" button.

Also, the windows in the user interface get a design that is a bit reminiscent of Apple's operating system, macOS, with the use of rounded corners at the edges.

Alongside this, Microsoft is expected to return the widgets to the desktop, these will have a dedicated button in the taskbar menu and will appear in a side window.

Another interesting change that will come to Windows 11 is in the windows magnification button.

In the next version you can select by clicking the position of the window on the screen from 10 different options.

As you know, the software giant's operating system has not changed significantly since Windows 8.



Last night it was announced that Microsoft will stop supporting the popular operating system, Windows 10 (Windows 10), on October 14, 2025. The company published the announcement in an update on the "Life Cycle" page on the official website Its, and the move means that Microsoft anticipates that users' transition to the next version of Windows will take about four years.
