Published

on

soon, Microsoft is going to launch what it’s calling “the next generation of Windows”. All signs point to it being called Windows 11. While Windows 11 is getting a full version bump when Microsoft said it was going to use “Windows 10” forever, that’s not the only reason it’s the next generation of Windows. This is a major, major change. It’s representative of a big shift in how Microsoft delivers Windows, but it’s also a big UX overhaul as well. Here’s what we know so far!

When will Windows 11 be announced?

Microsoft sent out invitations on June 2 for a virtual event that will be held on June 24 at, you guessed it, 11am ET. If it wasn’t shooting for an “11” theme, it would have said the event was at 8am PT.

The event will be live-streamed, and you’ll be able to watch it here. Expect to see Windows and devices chief Panos Panay take the stage and say the word “pumped” a lot. This is actually going to be Panay’s first big event since he took over Windows, a step up from only being in charge of Surface devices.
