The first Windows 11 preview is now available, and if you download it, you can check out the Microsoft Office redesign.
Windows 11 is one of the biggest stories in tech right now. It’s also one of the most controversial new products revealed in the last month. Windows 10 users have plenty of reasons to be excited about finally moving past the “10” numbering scheme. The new OS brings over several notable design changes and new features. But the free Windows 11 update might cost plenty of people plenty of money. Microsoft’s confusing Windows 11 hardware requirements seem to indicate that some Windows 10 users will be stuck on the current operating system unless they buy a newer laptop and desktop to pass the upgrade checks. Microsoft just released the first Windows 11 beta as well as more information about hardware requirements to help customers understand how to upgrade. Separately, Microsoft announced a significant Office redesign for Windows 11. The good news is that the Office design makeover will be available on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, even though it’s targeting the latter.
