Microsft is gearing up to launch Windows 11 on June 24 at a special event. However, before the launch, the upcoming Operating system details have been leaked. Earlier, few screenshots were shared on China’s Baidu website, and then the Windows 11 ISO also went live.

Now, as per the latest reports, many features of Windows 11 are already available in Preview build. If you are a Windows Insider, then you can try out the features. Microsoft is testing these preview builds with Insiders for a long time. However, the company has not yet officially labeled it as Windows 11, but it can be. So, let’s check out the features coming to Windows 11 that are available in Preview.

Windows 11 Preview Shows New Features

The upcoming OS has a revamped UI, a new start menu, taskbar design, a new Windows logo, and more.

HDR Improvements

If you are into gaming, then these improvements in HDR will be so helpful. There is an Auto HDR mode, a DirectX feature, which enables HDR capabilities for around 1000 games. These features are already available on Xbox, and the same thing is seen in Windows 11.

Even for non-gamer, Microsoft has added support for HDR to manage apps like Adobe Photoshop.

Better keyboard and input

Microsoft is improving the touch keyboard, clipboard, and emoji picker. The touch keyboard has a new design with many new features. It has in-built emoji, animated GIF search. The menu is rebuilt and made easier to understand with labels and structure.
