For months Microsoft has been buzzing about Windows for the “next generation.” Still, the corporation is developing an upgrade to its existing Windows 10 program and a new, numbered operating system version: Windows 11.
The huge software unveiled yesterday a new Windows event, which promises to display “what will happen next for Windows.” The event invite includes a picture of what seems like a new Windows logo with only two vertical bars of light flashing across the window, forming a contour that looks much like the number 11. Microsoft followed up this image with an animated version, which shows that the corporation deliberately neglected horizontal bars. Also, have a look over Our Best Windows 10 Recommended Themes List

The Windows event of Microsoft also begins at 11 AM ET and not as per the regular Windows and Surface events. Following the invite, Exec Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft Executive, claimed that he “wasn’t enthusiastic about a new Windows version since Windows 95!” This is the first time that we have heard from Microsoft that a “new version” of Windows is mentioned.
The invitation to the event also takes place only one week after Nadella announced “Windows next generation.” Nadella pledged that Microsoft would soon deliver “a major Windows upgrade of the last 10 years.” The chief product officer of Microsoft, Panos Panay, also addressed Windows “next-generation” this year.
We expect substantial graphic changes if Microsoft is really ready to go beyond Windows 10 and towards Windows 11. Microsoft has been working on the Sun Valley, called by the firm ‘Windows Visual Sweep.’
Much of this will emerge from the Microsoft Windows 10X development, a lightweight version of Windows designed to compete with Chrome OS before it got rid of. Includes a redesigned Start menu, new system icons, enhancements to File Explorer, and the end of the 95-era windows icons, which pull Windows users in dialogue boxes to the future. Rounded edges and upgrades are also scheduled for integrated Windows programs.
There are also significant modifications outside the user interface for Windows. Microsoft seems ready, with corrections to rearrange the application issue on multiple monitoring systems, the impending Xbox Auto HDR function, and enhancements in Bluetooth audio compatibility to resolve a whole range of lingering concerns.
The Windows Store may be the most long-term problem to be resolved. In recent months, Microsoft has been working on a new Windows app store, and speculations suggest it will make a major difference from what exists now. Nadella has vowed to “open more business opportunities for Windows developers and creators,” and Windows looks to be the logical route forward.
Microsoft is believed to be revising its own Windows app store to allow developers, including browsers like Chrome or Firefox, to submit any Windows program. This would boost the store alone greatly, but Microsoft may also explore the permission of commercial third-party platforms for apps. It means that Microsoft will not cut developers that use their own in-app purchasing mechanisms.
Yet, Microsoft has only disclosed a commission cut of 12 percent for PC games on its Windows store. Still, it would make a substantial adjustment to enable creators to circumvent the Microsoft cut. Shifting to Windows 11 would also back up the reinvestment of Microsoft in Windows. If showed how crucial the operating system is, the software developer expressed fresh interest in Windows last year. When employees and students throughout the world flocked to laptops and PCs to work from home, Windows uses increased. In the past year, too, PC shipments have risen.
In 2018, Microsoft shifted some Windows development back under Panos Panay’s management after splitting Windows into two halves. After months of turbulent development experiences for Windows 10, the move was an obvious acknowledgment that Microsoft’s Windows split did not work, delayed windows updates, lacked important new capabilities, and several Windows update problems.
But it would be surprising for Microsoft to switch to Windows 11. In its massive drive to portray the OS as a service regularly updated, Microsoft used to call Windows 10 “The last edition of Windows.” While weekly Windows updates exist, the major changes are usually made twice a year.
However, Microsoft has had difficulty labeling these upgrades. Windows 10, Fall Creators Update, and simple dates such as the 2019 November update have been observed. Microsoft has implemented another designation scheme, which refers to 20H1 or 21H1 upgrades representing both the year of release and part of the year of the launch.
If the company also introduced Windows 11.1 releases, it would undoubtedly help both customers and IT managers easily figure out the last version. Windows 11 does not necessarily resolve Microsoft’s updating version problem.
OEMs are also eager to watch a release of Windows 11. A new Windows version always stimulates fresh purchases of hardware and increased operating system enthusiasm. It will be a typic playbook that Windows has seen for decades if Microsoft supports this with a new UI and a fresh look and feel for Windows. It will be no longer before we find out if Microsoft is prepared to dial-up Version numbers up to Windows 11. The 11th Windows (as I call it now) is scheduled to start at 11 am ET on the 24th of June.
