Windows 11

Latest desktop operating system

Windows 11 is Microsoft's desktop operating system released in 2021, successor to Windows 10.

It introduced a centered taskbar, rounded corners, and stricter hardware requirements that left many older computers unable to upgrade.

My laptop doesn't support Windows 11.

The name skipped Windows 10's promised "last version of Windows" approach.
