First glimpse of Windows 11 leaves Windows 10 fans fuming at Microsoft

Microsoft is holding a global event next week with the firm expected to take the wraps off its all-new Windows 11 operating system. This massive upgrade, which looks set to be revealed on June 24, has taken many by surprise as the Redmond firm promised back in 2015 that Windows 10 would be its final operating system. That’s clearly not now the case with Microsoft recently confirming that Windows 10 support will actually end in 2025.

That paves the way for Windows 11 but it seems some are already unhappy with the changes despite Microsoft not revealing all for another week. Like almost all tech launches, the US technology giant appears to be struggling to keep things secret with a number of leaks suddenly appearing online.

The most comprehensive leak of all comes courtesy of The Verge’s Tom Warren who has posted a number of videos and screenshots of how Windows 11 could look. The content, uploaded to Twitter, shows the refreshed design with an updated start menu, soft round corners on boxes, a change to the desktop pattern and even a brand-new sound when users boot up their PC.
