Now, you can easily toggle between different virtual desktops that you can design for gaming, work or personal interests to keep you organized and working efficiently. In addition to the new design, Microsoft is introducing three new features - the ability to change the position of each virtual desktop, customize the backgrounds for all your virtual desktops, and support for multi-monitor setup.

 

Enhanced Touchscreen, Voices, and Gestures

 

The revamped Windows 11 touch keyboard, typically used for 2-in-1 laptops such as the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, now has more familiar gestures that many people already use with their phones. This includes swiping and dragging your finger to type a word — without needing to lift a finger. There's a new voice-typing feature that's accessible via the new touch keyboard. As you speak, the new Windows 11 software will type what you're saying, allowing you to send messages to others hands free. In addition to the touch keyboard, using gestures on touch displays are purportedly a lot smoother with Windows 11.
