'''Windows 11''' is the latest desktop [[operating system]] from [[Microsoft]]. It was announced on June 24, 2021,<ref>https://www.windowscentral.com/how-watch-microsoft-announce-windows-11-june-24</ref> with the plan to release it to the public in the fall of 2021. This operating system is similar to Windows 10 in many ways, but brings numerous cosmetic changes, as well as some improvements "under the hood".<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/06/24/introducing-windows-11/</ref>
==Requirements==
Windows 11 will have higher hardware requirements than previous versions. Notably, the new system mandates the usage of UEFI and Secure Boot, and needs a motherboard which offers a TPM 2.0 module. The provided list of system requirements are as follows:
