Windows 11 Updates

Summary
Windows 10 has been upgraded to Windows 11. With the upgrade, there are some changes
and new features. This document will cover the main new features.

Streamlined User Interface

A cleaner, less “busy” layout allows users to customize their view and simplify their
desktop/taskbar.
Note: While Windows 11 allows the taskbar to be centered on the screen, this does not work
with all Children’s applications. Leave the taskbar on the left side of the screen for optimal
performance.

Virtual Desktops
Users can create multiple workspaces to customize their working experience. Hover over the
two gray squares on the bottom left hand corner of the screen to create different desktops.
You can organize desktops by project, purpose, etc. Right clicking on the desktop name will
allow you to rename and customize.
