Introduction 

Windows 11 is created to help you get connected to the things you treasure at a time when computers are taking on a more critical role in our lives.

Windows was designed to provide a platform for global innovation. It has been the backbone of international commerce and is where resilient businesses rose to fame. On Windows, the web was developed and created. A lot of us created our first email there, as well as our first computer game and line of code. Over a billion people these days rely on Windows as their platform of choice for creation, interaction, education, and achievement.

Microsoft doesn't take lightly the task of providing for that many people. Over the last few years, there has been a considerable improvement in how we use our computers. Instead of incorporating our PCs into our lives, we now aim to incorporate our entire lives into the PC. Our computers can be used not only to attend meetings, take lessons, and complete tasks, but also to play games with people, binge watch our favorite programs, and—possibly most importantly—connect with one another. We have ended up digitally replicating the office chitchat, happy hours, workouts, hallway conversations, and holiday celebrations during the process. 

The PC's transition from something utilitarian and usable to something emotional and personal was what made it so compelling to look at and feel. This has acted as a source of inspiration while Microsoft keeps improving on the Windows platform. Creating for you an environment that feels more comfortable, enabling you to create, play, study, and most significantly, interact in brand-new ways.

For you to be more creative and productive Microsoft has optimized the layout and user experience. It's contemporary, lovely, tidy, and energizing. Everything was created with flexibility and comfort in mind, from the updated Start button and taskbar to every icon, typeface, and sound. Microsoft simplified it to find what you're looking for immediately by placing Start in the middle. Start makes use of Microsoft 365 and the cloud to showcase your most recent files irrespective of the operating system or device you were using to access them previously, including iOS and Android devices.

With the option of numerous windows and the possibility to snap apps alongside one another, Windows has always focused on supporting you in working according to your preferences. To make multitasking and maintaining control of your to-do list even more efficient, Windows 11 introduces Desktops, Snap Groups, and Snap Layouts. These incremental innovations are made to make it simpler for you to rearrange your windows and utilize the space on your screen so you can view all you need in a visually attractive layout. You can also make customized individual desktops for each aspect of your life, such as one for learning, gaming, or business.

Chapter 1: Welcome to Windows 11

1.1 Windows's Development and History

In 1985, the first version of Microsoft's Windows was released. A lot has changed in the past 38 years. Although Windows has undergone substantial change throughout the years, some features have remained constant.

Since its initial release in 1985, Microsoft Windows has gone through ten significant revisions. After more than 38 years, Windows still keeps elements which have stood the test of time, has seen an improvement in computer power, and most notably has made the transition from the mouse and keyboard to the touch screen.

The following is a quick overview of Windows' development over the years, starting with Bill Gates' creation of Windows 1 and ending with the most recent version developed by Satya Nadella, the recently appointed CEO of Microsoft.
