What's the Difference Between Windows 10 and Windows 11?


...


Hello, here is the English translation of the text you provided:
 
Microsoft's long-standing Windows 10 is gradually reaching the end of its life. So, let's take a look at what the company offers with the new operating system, Windows 11, together.
 
1 – Start Menu
 
One of the first differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is the Start menu. In Windows 10, we can access the menu by clicking on the operating system logo located in the lower-left corner. In Windows 11, we can open it by clicking on the logo located in the center.
The design of the Start menu has been simplified. In Windows 10, you could access your Microsoft account and shut down your system from the lower-left corner in the same way. We can see that applications also have backgrounds in Windows 10. In Windows 11, you can see that applications now have PNG icons.
Furthermore, the Microsoft account is now placed in the center-bottom, and the power button is moved to the bottom-right in Windows 11. The search bar, which was alongside the taskbar in Windows 10, is now positioned at the top of the Start Menu in Windows 11.
 
2 – Recommendations
 
The Recommendations section has been simplified in Windows 11 compared to Windows 10. Here, you can see your recently accessed files and, if you have signed in with your OneDrive account, your synchronized files.
 
3 – System Applications
 
In Windows 10, you could directly see system applications on the left side of the Start Menu. However, in Windows 11, this section has been removed, and you can access it by going to a section called Windows Tools. Additionally, Internet Explorer is not installed in Windows 11. Microsoft will completely shut down Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022.
 
4 – Icon Positioning Difference
 
Compared to Windows 10, we see that icons have been moved to the center in Windows 11. Moreover, you can now manage system applications through the Windows Tools window.
 
5 – Taskbar
 
In Windows 10, sharp square window icons were used for active and idle programs. In Windows 11, they have been changed to transparent circular icons.
 
6 – Icon Status for Performing Actions
 
In Windows 10, when an application required action (e.g., running as an administrator), the background color changed to a dark color. However, as seen, in Windows 11, the icon appears more prominent.
 
7 – Addition for Search Function
 
In the previous operating system version, there was a text indicating that you could only search when you hovered over the settings. However, in the new version, when you hover over the icon, you are provided with the opportunity to quickly launch applications like WordPad, Notepad, and Paint.
 
8 – System Sounds
 
Regarding system sounds, there are differences between the dark mode and light mode of Windows 11. In dark mode, sounds have more echoes and are muted, while in light mode, they are clearer and have less echo. You can check out the sound differences between Windows 10, 11, and 11 dark mode in the video below:
