Can anyone give me detailed information about Windows 11? What are the main features and improvements compared to older versions? and how does Windows 11 make using a computer better with its new tools and security features?

Eventually, we all will need to update to Windows 11 because Windows 10 end of life is October 14, 2025. That's when support will end. That's significant because Microsoft will not add any security fix for obsolete OS.

Windows 11 has hardware requirement which will cause problems updating:
- The CPU must be recent, from about the last three years
- The PC must have a TPM security chip
- The computer's firmware must be capable of using Secure Boot

The TPM security chip and Secure Boot requirements makes Windows 11 secure, but Windows 10 also can take advantage of these hardware.
