The Windows 11 Field Guide is a full-length e-book about the latest version of Microsoft Windows, aimed at those users who will upgrade from Windows 10 or acquire Windows 11 with a new PC.Microsoft describes Windows 11 as being fresh and familiar, and while that sounds paradoxical, its true. That is, Windows 11 offers a fresh new user experience that is simpler, prettier, and more modern than that of its predecessor, Windows 10. But it is also instantly familiar, providing all of the same basic interfaces that Windows users expect, know, and use.Windows 11 soldiers forward with all of the security features from Windows 10. But it also includes some enhancements. Windows 11-based PCs must have Secure Boot and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 chipset available and enabled, for example, which raises the security baseline for the entire ecosystem, for example. And Smart App Control takes the browser-based SmartScreen technologies from the past, improves them with AI-based application trust prediction capabilities, and integrates it directly into the operating system, ensuring that unsafe apps wont run.Like its predecessor, Windows 11 ships with two command-line shellsthe MS-DOS-like Command Prompt and Windows PowerShelland you can optionally install one or more Linux command-line shells via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as well. But Windows 11 also includes a new application called Windows Terminal that lets you access these command-line environmentsplus the Azure Cloud Shellfrom a single, tab-based interface.Windows 11 also ships with Microsofts Power Automate for desktop, a so-called low-code automation solution that helps you optimize workflows and automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks visually.Windows 11 includes a hardware virtualization feature called Hyper-V that lets you run Windows and other operating systems in virtual machines (VMs). This technology is useful for a variety of reasons. For example, developers can use Hyper-V to test their applications and other software in other versions of Windows or in other operating systems.

Introduction

Welcome to the Windows 11 Field Guide. Like Windows 11 itself, this book is a bit different from its predecessor, the Windows 10 Field Guide. Its been simplified, so it looks a little different, and at this early stage, it covers only the biggest changes in this release.

For this reason, it comes with a free copy of the Windows 10 Field Guide. But we will continue updating this book until it is complete, and as Microsoft improves and changes Windows 11 over time. Our expectation is that the final book will be somewhere between 500 and 1000 pages long in its PDF version.

But the Windows 11 Field Guide also shares many things with its predecessor, of course.

It is self-published, and it is an entirely independent and self-created work.

It is being written and updated transparently over time so that readers can follow its progress and get all new updates for free.

It is quite inexpensive compared to physical books and even other e-books.

Its available in multiple digital formats-PDF, MOBI and EPUB-so that it will work on any device.

And perhaps most importantly, the Windows 11 Field Guide is intended as both a how-to and a reference: you can read it straight through if thats your thing, or you can dive in and out of specific areas to learn whats new and, in many cases, how to work around some of the limitations in this product version.

Thanks for reading!

Get to Know Windows 11
Whats New and Familiar in Windows 11

Microsoft describes Windows 11 as being fresh and familiar, and while that sounds paradoxical, its true. That is, Windows 11 offers a fresh new user experience that is simpler, prettier, and more modern than that of its predecessor, Windows 10. But it is also instantly familiar, providing all of the same basic interfaces that Windows users expect, know, and use.

We will dive into these topics in more detail throughout the book, but here is a quick breakdown of the major changes, improvements, and features available in Windows 11.

New design

The first thing youll notice when you boot into Windows 11 is its fresh new design. Microsoft has dramatically simplified the user interface in Windows 11 while retaining the basic look and feel of Windows 10. This means that familiar interfaces like the Desktop, Taskbar, and Start are all present as before, but theyre also more streamlined and prettier now. Even the system sounds have been completely overhauled to help create an overall sense of calm.

Where did it go?

One side-effect of Microsofts simplification work in Windows 11 is that some common interfaces in Windows 10 are now harder to find, require extra steps, or are simply missing. We will point out these stumbling blocks as needed and any workarounds when available.

At a high level, the new Windows 11 design consists of several key components. Its simpler and more modern looking than Windows 10, and more naturally transitions between Light and Dark modes. Key interfaces like the Start menu and the icons on the Taskbar are now centered by default, and more closely resemble similar interfaces on mobile platforms like Android and iPhone. And windows and controls now display with curved corners, which helps to make Windows 11 feel calmer and cleaner.

Lock screen and sign-in screen

The lock screen appears When you power on or wake up your PC. The version you see in Windows 11 is very similar to that of Windows 10, but its been updated with the new Windows 11 font treatment.

Where did it go?

The Windows 11 lock screen doesnt have any new features, but it is missing one feature from Windows 10: you can no longer configure up to 7 apps that can display quick status alerts. (You can still configure a single app to display detailed status alerts.) There is no workaround.

When you click past the lock screen, Windows 11 will display the Sign-in screen, where you authenticate your account and sign in to Windows. There are no functional changes to this screen.

Desktop The Windows 11 Desktop is largely unchanged from that of Windows 10 - photo 7

The Windows 11 Desktop is largely unchanged from that of Windows 10, and you will find the same basic functionality, with the same default iconsRecycle Bin and Microsoft Edgeas before.
