Nicknamed Sun Valley, we may hear more about the launch at an event towards the end of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Windows 10 end of life will appear after ten years of active service. We\u2019re expecting a massive update for it later this year for those who aren\u2019t ready to migrate to Windows 11. However, we\u2019re unsure how many of the new operating system\u2019s features will be included in the predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Windows | Startup Sounds \u2013 Slo-fi Remix\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fMr4Qm5ZWrI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the tech world is abuzz with all the Microsoft easter eggs hinting at the launch of Windows 11. There\u2019s the event that starts at 11AM ET, a window with the shadow of the number 11 on it, and a teaser video that\u2019s 11 minutes long. We\u2019re actually surprised there are only three hints at this stage and not 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s no confirmation on the expected features, we\u2019ve caught wind of some rumors. The most significant change will be a new user interface with loads of new icons. There\u2019s also talk of rounded corners on windows to make them seem softer and more friendly. We\u2019ll keep you updated if we hear about any changes to the core mechanics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft Continues To Hint at Windows 11 Launch With Windows 10 reaching its 6th anniversary, it seems that Microsoft has finally decided to launch a new version and shelf the old one.
