Copilot is integrated seamlessly into Windows 11. It offers real-time suggestions and turns ideas into reality with remarkable ease. Ask it what you need, and the AI engine gets to work.
Updated Apps
(Paint, Snipping Tool, Clipchamp & More)
Have you ever wished that Windows' Snipping Tool could do more? This update grants that wish. The Snipping Tool is just one of many to get an AI upgrade.
Look for new capabilities in Paint, Clipchamp, and Photos. Get a unique image from inputting a text prompt and style. The Cocreator tool in Paint makes it easy to jumpstart your creativity. It will generate the image; then, you can edit it in the same app.
Microsoft Clipchamp is one of the most straightforward video creator tools out there. You can now drag in your assets and clips and click to have the AI engine work magic to create a video for you.
The new Clipchamp Auto Compose feature can:
Recommend scenes
Make edits
Create a narrative based on your input.
Easy Data Migration with Windows Backup
When you buy a new computer, moving data can be a pain. It can take hours to move your "pc life" between devices. And there's always the risk you'll miss something.
The new Windows Backup feature makes moving between computers more accessible. You can choose backup options and folders. When ready to move, it's a simple process. You can restore the new PC from another backed-up PC.
Microsoft Edge
A Faster and More Secure Browsing Experience
Microsoft Edge received significant enhancements. These focus on speed, responsiveness, and security. The Edge Secure Network feature offers more gigabytes. Microsoft increased user storage from 1GB to 5 GB. This function encrypts your internet connection to secure data.
Edge Secure Network has many features of a VPN, which is excellent for extra online security. It's also helpful for companies trying to prevent breaches from clicks on phishing links.
Save Energy & Battery Power
A feature called Adaptive Dimming is another enhancement of this update. Your screen slowly dims if you're no longer paying attention, which has the dual benefit of saving energy and helping you refocus.
PC sensors power this feature, as well as two others, so it will be more common with newer computers.
The other two features that use sensors are:
Wake on Approach
Lock on Leave
A More Personal Windows 11 Experience
Beyond the technical innovations, this update brings a more personal touch to the user experience. Tailored to individual preferences, Windows 11 becomes an extension of the user's identity using:
Personalised themes
Custom widgets
Intelligent assistants
Every interaction feels curated and intuitive. It makes for a genuinely personalised operating system.
