1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:10,240
yeah let's go Windows 11 is no ordinary update but

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,160
sitting through microsoft's dull and bug ridden announcement stream you never

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,440
know it which is why a lot of what we're going to talk about was actually pulled

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,080
from the fine print on microsoft's website and from our own first-hand

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:25,920
experience with the leaked build from last week

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:29,359
the good news is that there is a lot to talk about

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,160
the bad news is that well not all the news is good news

8
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:38,079
what is good news though is our sponsor glassware are you lagging out while

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,239
gaming use glassware to see what apps are wasting your bandwidth and causing

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,840
your games to lag get 25 off using offer code Linus at the link down below

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,239
at first glance Windows 11 is little more than a major interface redesign on

12
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,000
top of what is fundamentally Windows 10 but on closer inspection there is more

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,159
going on under the hood than we gave it credit for in particular enhanced

14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,200
support for hybrid architecture processors with both a mix of

15
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:15,439
performance and power saving CPU cores

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,799
like Intel's lakefield that is going to be a big deal in very little time

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,040
sorry for that the most obvious improvement is of

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:29,600
course though the new visual design it's a frosted glass aesthetic with multiple

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,880
theme styles rounded corners on Windows and a center aligned taskbar an

20
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:40,880
optimization that microsoft made clear was for touch users

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,280
do you feel that the new start menu clearly lifted from Windows 10 x is

22
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,399
powered by the cloud which appears to be code for we included bing search as

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,360
usual but hey now your recent documents will sync across devices if you're using

24
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,200
office 365 so that's pretty cool

25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,560
there are more useful changes of course snap layouts let you quickly and easily

26
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,280
tile Windows in different orientations similar to how the fancy zones power toy

27
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:10,959
works today except it's significantly more user-friendly

28
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,760
and significantly less configurable microsoft says that nobody else lets you

29
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,680
do that with this many Windows nobody else lets you do this and that ended up

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,440
being one of the biggest revelations of the presentation Linux has apparently

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,879
been renamed to nobody else os they do

32
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,959
bring something new to the table here though Windows groups this way will

33
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:35,360
group together in the taskbar and be treated like a single item so you can

34
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,840
switch to and from a window layout on the fly and your multiple virtual

35
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,599
desktops can now be customized with different wallpapers to make it easier

36
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,560
to keep track of them it's kind of like customizing your water bottle with the

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,280
stickers you get for free with your order from lttstore.com

38
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:55,599
what's more they finally fixed the issue where Windows would rearrange themselves

39
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,160
semi-randomly when monitors are disconnected and reconnected so instead

40
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,239
they will minimize Windows that were on the removed display and then put them

41
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,959
all back when you reconnect this is going to make docking a laptop way less

42
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,040
frustrating although i'm not sure what happens if you disconnect the display

43
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,959
then interact with those programs then reconnect it i guess we'll see

44
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,959
there's more for all-in-ones and touch displays in general as well touch

45
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,720
targets are bigger now with more visual feedback and there's a new on-screen

46
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,879
keyboard that we didn't get to properly test drive just yet that looks a lot

47
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,640
like the iOS keyboard right down to the ability to move the cursor around by

48
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,080
holding the spacebar but that's all boring productivity stuff what about

49
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,680
gaming well after debuting on the xbox series x

50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,760
auto HDR is coming to Windows and direct

51
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,239
storage support is baked into Windows 11 at the os and driver level that's going

52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,400
to bring Windows more in line with xbox from a feature standpoint and personally

53
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:58,400
i am really excited to see both of these in action i mean given the Windows

54
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:01,439
team's historically terrible HDR

55
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,680
implementation i'm hesitantly optimistic

56
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:09,360
about automatically converting older non-HDR games to HDR but direct storage

57
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,000
which allows your GPU to access your system's game drive or really any other

58
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,919
drive directly should substantially improve loading times in games once it's

59
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,560
supported investigating these features is going to make for some really

60
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,880
interesting videos and you're going to want to make sure that you're subscribed

61
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,360
xbox game pass is now integrated into the xbox app that comes with Windows and

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,320
we got more promises of cross-platform play as is the tradition by now though

63
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,600
we have no idea how many titles will support it if it's going to be difficult

64
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,560
to support it if it's a system-wide thing or what though at least with sony

65
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:48,080
also finally talking more favorably about cross play it feels like the light

66
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:51,040
at the end of this tunnel is finally visible

67
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,560
the additions to pen input look pretty sweet and microsoft has added haptic

68
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,919
feedback to simulate the feel of different tools as you're using them

69
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,440
there's not really a whole lot else for us to say about that because they only showed it briefly and the same goes for

70
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,360
screen rotation which is much more streamlined now with Windows rotating

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:11,199
smoothly with the display and tiled Windows in landscape mode stacking onto

72
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:17,120
each other rather than arranging unpredictably like they used to speaking

73
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,120
of unpredictable teams is now integrated

74
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:23,199
into Windows directly i can't say i predicted that when did

75
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:28,720
everyone start using teams am i out of touch no it's the children who are wrong

76
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,400
there's now a dedicated icon for teams then that gives you what looks like a

77
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,479
searchable jump list of recent contacts and buttons for interacting them and i

78
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,520
i'm just not sure this is what anyone was asking for but hey at least

79
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,080
microsoft has something akin to imessage and facetime built in so

80
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,639
that's cool i guess there was a brief mention about dictation and voice

81
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,600
commands as well so presumably that is also an upgrade to compete with siri on

82
00:05:53,039 --> 00:06:00,160
macOS ah macOS they made a big deal about how teams

83
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:05,520
works on any platform and it wasn't the only thing that felt like an unnecessary

84
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,080
dig at apple even the faq page on their website has this kind of thing in place

85
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,800
of genuinely useful information guys

86
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,560
microsoft we want to know how much it's going to cost standalone obviously

87
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,520
computers cost anywhere from here to here i guess we'll know soon enough though

88
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,440
when it pops up in the Windows store yes the Windows store

89
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,759
now with the ability to show movies tv shows and other content regardless of

90
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:35,840
the streaming service and integration with the amazon app store yes my friends

91
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:38,000
you can now run Android apps directly in

92
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,840
Windows there's no word yet on whether side loading is possible or if you're

93
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:46,400
stuck with the amazon store but this is still really cool as for why they're

94
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,199
doing it our best guess is that if enough people run Android apps on

95
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,360
Windows developers will finally buy into microsoft's pitch about how it's super

96
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,199
easy to port your apps natively to the Windows store and enjoy microsoft's

97
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:03,440
industry-leading rev share and support for outside payment processors finger

98
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,319
guns and i guess the end goal then would be to kill the Windows store's current

99
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:13,039
ghost town vibe speaking of things deceased but now brought back to life

100
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:18,000
the new widgets panel is nothing like gadgets and vista microsoft describes

101
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:22,479
them as a beautiful sheet of glass powered by ai in effect they're pretty

102
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:26,800
much the news and interests panel that microsoft added to Windows 10 in the 21

103
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:31,840
h1 update but with some additional features and the ai is

104
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,120
well it's news that um is tailored to your interests

105
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,160
they can be brought up or dismissed by swiping in from the left edge of the

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,599
screen on a touchscreen or clicking the icon in the taskbar of course the

107
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:46,880
biggest question is pricing and availability they didn't talk about this

108
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:51,120
much in the presentation but from the faq we've put together that it will be a

109
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,680
free update for Windows 10 users and it'll start shipping in late 2021 on new

110
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:01,840
pcs with standalone copies available in early 2022 as for pricing if i had to

111
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:06,720
guess i'd say it'll be a hundo for home and a hundo plus for pro otherwise smart

112
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,919
people would all just buy Windows 10 which costs that amount and then upgrade

113
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,919
it for free another thing microsoft didn't tell us

114
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:17,360
and buried in the faq system requirements

115
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:24,479
as we've already seen Windows 11 requires secure boot and tpm 2.0 to

116
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,639
function as a security measure this is

117
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:29,280
hands down going to create the most confusion for end users around this

118
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,919
launch and microsoft makes their own life more

119
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:38,479
difficult for no apparent reason because instead of just saying when you go to

120
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:43,440
install it hey you need this trusted platform module chip and secure boot

121
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:47,440
enabled in your UEFI BIOS microsoft just gives you this ambiguous error that says

122
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:52,880
your system isn't compatible why Windows 11 also requires two or more CPU

123
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:58,240
cores four gigs of RAM 64 gigs of storage and a directx 12 compatible GPU

124
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:03,440
don't have all that stuff i don't know go buy a new pc i guess says microsoft

125
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:08,399
what's more troubling however is this note that Windows 11 home edition

126
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:13,200
requires an internet connection and a microsoft account to complete first time

127
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:18,160
setup and this is a weird one you actually get fewer features for using a

128
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,360
microsoft account desktop wallpaper is no longer synced with your microsoft

129
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:26,320
account between devices though i personally actually just found that feature kind of annoying and the

130
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,839
timeline feature has been removed

131
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,080
there's more the taskbar is now locked to the bottom of the screen the start

132
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:39,680
menu no longer has support for folders or groups live tiles are gone the menu

133
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,839
itself cannot be resized and tablet mode is gone and replaced with the new touch

134
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:47,920
inputs not all the changes we had to dig for are bad though cortana mercifully

135
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,399
won't bug you during first time setup nor take up unnecessary space on the

136
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:55,839
taskbar by default so it's just baffling that the stuff wasn't touched on during

137
00:09:53,839 --> 00:09:59,920
the event because a lot of it seems pretty important to me

138
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:03,519
now it's unclear how the Windows 11 leak occurred before the big reveal today

139
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:08,160
some have speculated that it was on purpose but what we know for sure is

140
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,160
that it was a significantly older build than what they just showed and that

141
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:17,360
there's no immediate pressure for you to upgrade the october 14th 2025 retirement

142
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:22,160
date puts Windows 10 service life at just over 10 years that's just a few

143
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:26,560
months short of Windows 7's was it a good operating system

144
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,399
i don't know if it'll be remembered as fondly as Windows 7 was but it was

145
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:35,120
definitely better than the mess that was Windows 8 so here's hoping then that

146
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:40,399
microsoft finally manages to break the good bad good bad pattern and keep that

147
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,120
positive momentum going when Windows 11 finally reaches our pcs

148
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,440
