Microsoft is giving Windows 10 a redesign, but will it be called

Windows 11?

We've collected all the rumors on what new features the big update
could include.

Microsoft may have only recently released the Windows 10 May 2021
upgrade (also known as version 21H1), but a big new release is on the
way. On June 24, Microsoft will hold a virtual event to reveal "the next
generation of Windows," promising significant improvements to the
long-running operating system — and possibly a new moniker for
Windows 11.

On May 25, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that the company
was developing "one of the most substantial improvements of Windows
in the previous decade," confirming reports that a big overhaul for the
OS's 1.3 billion users was on the way in 2021. And on Sunday, Microsoft
quietly announced that it was ending support for Windows 10 in 2025,
fueling rumors that the new redesign could be called Windows 11.

Here's what we know so far about the next major Windows 10 update,
including potential release dates, new features and leaks, and if it will
actually be called Windows 11. This story will be updated as we learn
more.

What new features will the Windows redesign include?


The update, reportedly code-named Sun Valley, could bring a
redesigned Start menu, Action Center, File Explorer and Taskbar, with a
more modern look and new features, according to a Windows Central
report. Leaked images first posted on Chinese site Baidu and picked up
by The Verge show off a more Mac-like interface, with a new Start menu,
home screen and startup sound.

Another factor: Microsoft said that its Windows 10X OS, designed for
dual-screen devices like the Surface Duo and the Surface Neo, will not
actually be released. Instead, Microsoft will build parts of that technology
into other parts of Windows and products from the company, according
to a blog post in May.

When will Microsoft release the next version of Windows?

We're likely to find out when the big Windows update will arrive at
Microsoft's Windows 10 event on June 24. CNET's sister site ZDNet
previously reported that it's targeted for the second half of the year, while
Windows Central reported that it will arrive around the holiday season.

Microsoft said it did not have any further information to share at this time.

Will the new update be called Windows 11?


With the release of Windows 10 back in 2015, Microsoft was clear that
this would be "the last version of Windows" -- so it seemed unlikely that it
would be called Windows 11. But now that Microsoft has officially said it
will end support for Windows 10 in 2025, a move to Windows 11 -- or
some other moniker -- seems more likely. Nadella called it "the next
generation of Windows" in his keynote speech at Microsoft Build.

The Verge also noted that the event invitation includes a logo and
shadow that looks like the number 11, and that the event is taking place
at 11 a.m. ET, which is not typical for Seattle-based Microsoft.

Naturally, we won't know for sure until Microsoft formally announces the
update.
