With msbuild2021 date 24th Jun coming near, the possibility of Windows 11 seems unavoidable. If you are wondering whether to install Windows 11 or not, having an idea about its new features and changes might fade away the confusion. If we talk overall, there is no big change to the operating system except a more lavishing interface, new icons, and a different layout.
However, installing the new Windows OS will also invite more sluggishness as its Build OS is still in the Dev mode. Read the changes yourself and decide if you really want to move forward with Windows 11.
