Windows 11

Launched in October 2021, Windows 11 started a new era as the latest version of Microsoft's official operating system, pre-loaded onto the best laptops and sold separately for custom-built desktop PCs. It continues to receive significant updates, like Windows 11 version 24H2, which is loaded with new features and supports modern hardware like Neural Processing Units (NPUs) to handle local Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing tasks offered by Microsoft Copilot and third-party apps.
