And for the people who use a personal computer at home or at work then there is a very good chance that it is running Microsoft Windows. And if it’s a new computer then there is a very good chance its running Windows 11 since new or has been upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10.Microsoft initially said that Windows 10 will be the last version of their desktop operating system and that they would just continue to update it and add new features rather than come out with new versions. Apparently this was not the case since we now have the successor to Windows 10, named Windows 11 of course.This goal of this book is to help you get the most out of your Windows 11 computer and make you a more proficient computer user.
