Windows 11 announcement: features, release date, price, and more
Windows 10 has powered the best gaming PCs for almost five years now, but support for the current OS will end in 2025, as Microsoft confirmed Windows 11's existence at a keynote on June 24.
With the addition of Auto HDR to make all of your games pop on the best gaming monitor, and a new DirectStorage API to cut down loading times, Windows 11 is shaping up to be the perfect OS for playing the best PC games. Support for Android apps within the operating system is coming, and it'll be a free upgrade if your current rig is already running Windows 10.
A new OS seemed impossible just a few years ago, as Microsoft developer Jerry Nixon claimed that Windows 10 would be the "last version" back in 2015. Although the changes look pretty exciting, it won't be as drastic a change as Windows 7 to 8 was, featuring a new centralised start menu, along with a UI reflecting the now-canned Windows 10X software.
