While you can get an optional basic version of it in Windows 10 as an installable app, Copilot in Windows 11 can do more, such as change settings and organize windows using Snap Assist. The Windows 11 version of Paint also includes AI image generation from text prompts in styles like oil paint, photorealistic, ink sketch, and anime. That’s more than the art styles that you get with Apple Intelligence, which is limited to cartoons and sketches. Improved Apps The included apps inWindows 11 are better than those inWindows 10. An all-newMedia Player app makes watching videos and listening to music and podcasts a better experience. The Windows 11 Clock app includes a useful Focus Sessions feature that help you concentrate on projects, and the Photos app includes generative erase for removing objects or backgrounds. The Notepad, Paint, and Calculator apps have all been updated as well. A Better Screenshot Tool Taking screenshots in Windows 11 is even better, with many good options in the updated Snipping Tool, including the ability to record screen video and copy or redact text from images. The Snipping Tool lets you select rectangular or freehand areas, program windows, or the whole desktop. It then opens a mini editor for cropping and markup. Snap Layouts for an Organized Desktop In Windows, you have always been able to arrange windows on the desktop just the way you want them. Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to improve the already great capabilities in Windows 10—which lets you snap a window to the side to fill exactly half the screen or to a corner for an exact quarter of screen real estate—Microsoft comes up with another window layout trick called Snap Layouts. Widgets for Quick Access to Updates New for Windows 11, widgets will help you stay up to date with all the things you need to keep tabs on, like schedules, weather, stocks, sports—even celebrity gossip. Advanced Network Security Windows 11 provides more secure and reliable connection methods and advanced network security. Included are encryption and firewall protection and built-in Virtual Private Network (VPN) protocols. Windows 11 is the most technologically advanced version of Windows yet. Take a look at some of its most compelling new features for users. What Are the Benefits of Windows 11?
