As per the latest reports, many Windows 11 are already available in Preview to build. If you are a Windows Insider, then you can try out the features. Microsoft is testing these preview builds with Insiders for a long time. However, the company has not yet officially labeled it as Windows 11, but it can be. So, let’s check out the features coming to Windows 11 that are available in Preview.
Windows 11 Preview Shows New Features
The upcoming OS has a revamped UI, a new start menu, taskbar design, a new Windows logo, and more.
HDR Improvements
If you are into gaming, then these improvements in HDR will be so helpful. There is an Auto HDR mode, a DirectX feature, enabling HDR capabilities for around 1000 games. These features are already available on Xbox, and the same thing is seen in Windows 11. Even for non-gamer, Microsoft has added support for HDR to manage apps like Adobe Photoshop.
Better keyboard and input
Microsoft is improving the touch keyboard, clipboard, and emoji picker. The touch keyboard has a new design with many new features. It has in-built emoji, animated GIF search. The menu is rebuilt and made easier to understand with labels and structure. Now, you can move the text cursor by using the touch keyboard; for that, you need to hold a space bar and move your finger. For voice typing, there is a quick shortcut, and it has got a new modern look. If you want to use it without the touch keyboard, activate it by pressing Windows key + H. The emoji picker is updated with support for animated GIFs and search features, so you can easily find the emoji/GIF you want.
