There’s something to be said for staying up to date. Windows 11 is the first major update of the leading desktop operating system in seven years.

When you hover the cursor over the maximize icon at the top right of any window, you get multiple layout choices in a thumbnail view. You can even save a layout for a group of apps you want to reuse later in a single taskbar icon.

 

 

 

  1. Twice as resistant to malware

Windows 11 is ultra secure, Much of that is thanks to its requirement of a secure processor called a Trusted Platform Module. (Despite the increased security, this new requirement nevertheless raised the hackles of many a Windows commentator, since it meant some older PCs would not be able to run the new OS.)
