 Welcome to Windows 11 on touch. So this is my Surface Book 3, you saw me on dock this and I'm running Windows 11 which was an update through the Windows Insider program where I'm pretty quickly and smoothly but I wanted to show you some of the functionality of Windows 11 via touch. So I'm going to kind of zoom a little bit closer, get as tight as possible to this device. So we have of course our center dock right here. Now we can change this but I want to just keep it here for now and this is a beta so some things may not work too well. So the very first thing of course is you can see your Windows icon shows you pinned applications right there and then you've got your search which is kind of showing your recent apps as well as your search so you can actually go ahead and search. This is where the keyboard comes into play so if I tap on that that brings up the keyboard and I have the keyboard on the side or I can have it centered laid out. I do prefer the floating keyboard allows me to move it around the screen quite effectively and it works out pretty well. Plus you can swipe on this keyboard so you can go office and there you have it. So this keyboard is truly nice also has emojis and it has gifts so solid all around. Now your next button here is your desktop button which gives you the multiple apps that you have open and your specific desktop. So I have my gaming desktop which is strictly gaming you can see Master Chief there. I've got my main desktop here and I can go ahead and create a third desktop. So as I've created it I can press and hold. If I press and hold just give me the options to choose the background and rename. So I'm going to rename this one let's call it again this keyboard is pretty cool. Let's call this test video. So we've done that and then we can go ahead and change that background choose a background specifically for this desktop and you know I'm going to put this other Master Chief helmet and boom there we go. So we've got that and we can cycle through our different specific desktops as we choose. Now here we've got of course our new sidebar if you will this is like your news and information bar which you can bring up and close by tapping the button or you can swipe from the right left to right that brings that up and it's actually pretty nice so you don't have to swipe back you can swipe we can just tap on screen and it disappears. You can also swipe from the right and that brings up your notifications as well as your calendar here which is nice. Now after that of course we've got edge browser we've got Chrome which I do have on here I'm just going to close it's going to minimize Chrome down we've got Xbox we've got our file explorer and then we've got the store as well mail and then some other pin apps you can continue to pin apps as much as you want and you will begin to look like windows again you tap on the corner of your screen and that should minimize everything as well so that's nice. Couple of things to note on this kind of notification area on the lower right hand corner you do when you tap this this brings up this nice area where you've got quick access to your Wi-Fi network Bluetooth you've connected airplane mode battery it's much cleaner all together you've got to your volume rocker here and you've also you've got your brightness rocker so I can easily manage this by by simply bringing up this menu and of course my keyboard is next to that and I've got of course there's quick running applications there so that is the very first thing you notice surface wise on Windows 11 again it runs pretty well it feels like Windows 10 with upgrades but there's some more things to it that you can actually do so let's do the the multiple screen layouts so for instance you open up an application like let's take let's take edge here now with your if you had a mouse and keyboard you can just basically hover over the center icon here and make multiple windows the easier way to do it on touch is to press and hold down here actually grab it down here and snap to the side and now crew will create these four quadrant bubbles for you on touch that's the way it doesn't in touch and the first quadrant here I go okay what should I put here I'm gonna put the Xbox store it populates the next one I will put say my file explorer and then here you know what I will put chrome so I now have a four quadrant layout of all the applications I'm using all on touch very simple very easy and you know I can go ahead and basically either top each one to minimize it or I can of course kill everything from the edge if I can get there and it's very simple and very easy to use so nice layout overall I'm gonna switch now over to say my gaming desktop and I'm gonna basically do a video of gaming on Windows 11 so stay tuned on that this would be on the surface this would be on the surface book three so these there's some performance there with our device docked the way to actually set up the multi-screen is a bit different you can hover over applications that are of course Windows 11 applications or at least updated you've got this option to basically have multiple you know desktop layouts that you can pick from so you can switch to something that's a four quadrants you can do this larger smaller you can do you know three quadrant set up here which is what I just did and say we go into the file explorer we can do side by side and then we change that there so there's a couple of ways you can do it or again you can still go ahead and snap to the corner and then you can select where you want to put either application so I've got a three-quarter as well so very nice very different way of actually doing things all right so let's take a look at settings menu with touch on Windows 11 so settings is actually pinned here on your Windows start menu something as this beneficial tap you get into the settings now the settings menu feels a little bit different looks like they are it's a little bit more better animated much smoother also the icons look a little bit more visible and better representation than your traditional Windows look so you can go into this things like your display you've got brightness all that fun stuff head back you've got sound notifications actually setting those up so they are a bunch of menus here for Windows your power and battery which is really important especially for devices like this here's my power right now 23% battery levels better indication I do like what they are showing showing here so it's pretty nice screen sleep all that fun stuff and then you can go into your storage check out your storage amounts what you're using for storage again you can see is not that smooth just because this is still a beta this is the very first one activation multitasking and tasks switching some of the shortcuts you can use they record the Bluetooth and devices shares it's paired with the Xbox controller again better icons looks more visually appealing if I may say then you've got your network settings and it shows I'm connected to Thunder Network some other options or mobile hotspot if I need to if this device supports it personalizations of course which you can go you go into theming and also the colors dark mode those kind of things now that what is represented here how I got it but was simply by searching and it takes you right to dark mode your apps your default apps the accounts time and language gaming Xbox game bar captures in game mode now game mode is optimizing a PC for the best gaming experience so that is something that I think a lot of people would will definitely appreciate and then you've got your accessibility and then you've got your privacy and then Windows updates now Windows updates here you also have it just styled a bit better you have your pause and play so you can pause updates now you can also check your update history and the advanced options which allow you to get into deeper details for your updates give me updates download and media connections those kind of things and then of course there's a win side of Windows inside a program which I'm part of and anyone can join that allows you to go ahead and get those updates on a timely fashion so let me change screens head back to something much brighter here I think overall the functionality of Windows 11 really is solid I do like it I think a lot of people will will find it quite useful especially with devices such as this where touch is touch enabled and you're going to be using you know the screen quite a bit my favorite feature honestly is the keyboard right now I like the way it works I like the swipe works with it I also like the multi-tasking operations here on device and device now where it makes it really fast to snap to either corner of the screen and then you can basically start placing applications wherever you want to in whatever fashion you wish so that to me is pretty awesome so anyway guys if you have any questions or any comments about Windows 11 on touch or of course laptop or 2-in-1 or anything with a touch screen let me know don't forget to like share subscribe and
