If you use your own commerce engine, you will not have to pay any revenue share to Microsoft at all.

You'll also be able to sideload Android apps , though you won't be able to get them from Google's Play Store. Panay demonstrated this feature by running TikTok. Get ready for the marketing blitz. Considering that the hardware requirements are so low that pretty much any new PC can meet them, this sounds like more marketing hype than useful information.

We have already received updates from Acer and Dell saying that either all of or the vast majority of their recent offerings are Windows 11 compatible. Avram Piltch. See all comments Interesting about TPM 2. I dont' think a lot of home builders buy TPM chips and install them.

Also no offline installs and MS accounts required? Its Everybody and their dog is out there making "content". Yes I know it has the useless "does whatever it wants" editing in the photos app, but that doesn't even come close to the baseline windows XP level of "cut a single long clip down and throw some text on for youtube, maybe with music".

Still doesn't address the issue of what happens when I try to upgrade my 4 PC's on various Windows 10 installs, with no clear way to see which keys are being used. Looks like I'll be using the same "key" again. Next, can I rip out and remove Team and Gamepass? How about Edge? According to a recent Windows usage report , around one percent of PCs already have the pre-release version of Windows 11 on them. In June, though Microsoft hadn't yet said when Windows 11 would be with us, there were hints at an October release date.

A lot of the screenshots Microsoft has put out around the release have a date of 20 October on the taskbar, with the time set to Microsoft has officially revealed Windows 11 and it's broadly similar to the leaked build. The main differences are the announcement of Android app support as well as the confirmation that the Microsoft Store will be redesigned from the ground up.

We also got more details on how tablets and touch will be handled with greater touch targets and windows that re-orientate themselves when you swap from landscape to portrait, for example. Firstly, a Baidu user posted two screenshots of Windows 11, revealing a Windows 10X-like central Start menu with rounded corners the menu can also be put back in its traditional position on the left. Almost at the same time, the ISO installation file of the OS was leaked online via various download sites.

Microsoft has dropped a rather over-the-top video above with Windows startup sounds from the past slowed down by 4, percent - yes really. The event teaser also had a reflection of the Windows logo on it with the crossbar taken out from the 'window' meaning that the logo reflection showed as two vertical bars - aka There was nothing about Windows 'client' in the agenda for Microsoft's Build developer event this year, which we found rather odd.

Clearly Microsoft wants to reinvigorate its app store. Nadella added: "We will create more opportunity for every Windows developer today and welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative new, open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications. We look forward to sharing more very soon.

This almost certainly ties into Project Reunion , revealed in as Microsoft's latest attempt to sort out the mess of Windows apps. That device was supposed to run Windows 10 X , a cut-down version of Windows that was reported in to be delayed but has now been cancelled.

We may see some of its features in Windows 11 though. The latest Insider Preview build of Windows shows Microsoft revising icons that have been around since the Windows 95 era ahead of the new Windows release. Microsoft has been revising numerous Windows File Explorer icons during early But it's also still mostly filled with apps you'd likely download direct from your browser, or wouldn't want to touch at all. But that should change with future updates. One of the most surprising announcements about the Microsoft Store, other than the fact that Microsoft isn't prepared to give up on it just yet, is that you'll be able to run Android apps on your Windows PC.

Microsoft has sided with Amazon to bring its particular brand of apps to the Microsoft Store, but you'll be able to sideload apk files from elsewhere. The new store has also started to feature apps for other storefronts too, such as Epic and Amazon. It doesn't work with every game, although Microsoft says that any DirectX 11 game should benefit from it. You obviously need an HDR-compatible screen to get the most from it, but the results can make a profound difference.

Not as much as the gaming being coded for HDR in the first place, but it could potentially give a new lease of life to some games that are no longer being actively developed.

Microsoft showed off the technology at the Windows 11 announcement event using Skyrim, which certainly looked a bit more vibrant, although it did lose some of its subdued charm in the process. I have a feeling that purists are going to shun this option, while anyone looking to show off their HDR screen is going to be all over it. The decision to make DirectStorage a Windows 11 exclusive was a bit controversial, as this is a technology that has long been expected to make the most of the NVMe SSDs that many of us have in our machines.

Thankfully it looks like that suggestion was in error, as a recent DirectX developer preview will bring the new feature to modern Windows 10 builds too. It's already been revealed that you won't need to have the very fastest PCIe 4. The promise with DirectStorage is that it will make game loading levels and textures much quicker, potentially allowing game developers to build games in a completely different way.

It will also reduce the CPU load, and could potentially deliver a bit of a performance boost. Though the impact of that could end up being rather negligible in today's gaming PCs.

Streaming environments in a more efficient way sound like a great idea, but how are games developers going to allow for the completely different types of drives gamers have in their machines?
