Yesterday, Microsoft revealed the most anticipated desktop operating system – Windows 11 in a product launch event. As expected, Windows 11 has more features and customization options. You can check out all Windows 11 features to know the potential of the newly released operating system.
Windows 11 introduced some visual changes and new UI elements that would favor users who prefer a minimal look. Also, the new operating system would benefit most users who love multitasking. However, the bad thing is that Microsoft ruled out the support for 32-bit processors.
That means that not every system can handle Windows 11. Even if you have a powerful PC, if the processor is 32-bit, it can’t support Windows 11. To help users figure out whether their PC can run Windows 11 or not, Microsoft introduced a new tool called ‘PC Health Check App’
