A few years back, Microsoft announced Windows 10 is their last windows operating system. And further, it will only release a new Win 10 update. I remembered I saw many Youtube videos talking about the new win OS. That time I thought it was just a joke, or they’re just trying to get a videos view because the company has officially announced. However, this giant tech company finally brought a new generation OS and named it Windows 11.
Microsoft released the inside version of win 11 a few weeks ago. And many users want to know how to download and install it. While some users are waiting for a stable version to be released. Although, installing the current uncompleted OS is risky and will not give you a whole desktop experience. But it is a good idea to see what is new in the next-generation operating system. The company is also looking for user feedback and finding out any existing bugs in the build preview version.
Likewise, that is a good chance for users to win Microsoft’s badges and achievements based on your bugs’ findings. Furthermore, you also can join bug bash to avail this opportunity. Also, there are many new features that Microsoft brought with Windows 11 such as a new floating start menu, support for android application, live chat support with the official team (currently not available with preview build and will be included in stable version), beautiful themes, snapping layout, great widget section, and many more.
