Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 preview build 22000.100 (KB5004300) to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. It is important to note that Microsoft will improve the OS in the coming months, so now you can try many, but not all, of the new features that were presented during the announcement of Windows 11. In particular, the ability to run Android applications is still not available.

This post will show you how to install Windows 11 in Hyper-V Virtual Machine. We will use Hyper-V, and not VMWare or VirtualBox because Hyper-V is a native feature of Windows. It is available for free. It also delivers decent guest OS performance compared with its competitors.

Windows 11 contains some quite drastic and visual changes compared to the good-old Windows 10. After installing Windows 11 preview builds, which are currently available in the Windows Insider program, you will notice right away a new centered taskbar, brand-new Start menu, and other visual refinements.

This post will show you how to add or remove the Chat button from the taskbar on Windows 11. The Chat button in Windows 11 integrates Microsoft Teams directly into the taskbar. It allows you quickly chat with your friends using Teams (RIP Skype) using text messages, voice, or video calls. All that is needed is to click the Chat button and start a conversation. 

You may want to rename a drive and change volume label in Windows 11 to better differentiate your storage options in File Explorer and other apps.  Every time you format a drive without specifying a name, Windows assigns the default "Local disk" name, for example, "Local disk (D:)." You can rename a volume at any time using one of several methods available in Windows 11.

This post will show you how to Restart File Explorer in Windows 11 in order to apply some setting, tweak, or fix an issue with the Windows shell. Windows Explorer, also known as explorer.exe but not to confuse with Internet Explorer, is a default process in Windows 11 responsible for the user interface and shell, file manager, taskbar, Start menu, etc. Sometimes you might want to restart it to apply some tweaks or changes in the UI or bring the system back to life.

This post will show you how to add or remove Quick Settings in Windows 11.
Quick Settings is a new panel that appears when you click on the right corner of the taskbar. It was formerly part of Action Center in Windows 10, but now it is an individual flyout in Windows 11.

You can create a local account in Windows 11, which is an offline account. Unlike the Microsoft account, it doesn't require an Internet connection to be fully functional. You can create such an account for your private tasks or for some of your family members.

Last month, Microsoft announced a new operating system version, Windows 11. It comes with tons of new visual changes and looks nothing close to its predecessor. You will find the Start menu, taskbar, Action Center, Settings app, and even more.
