News & Reviews:   Microsoft

After the news came saying that the upcoming Halo Infinite is dropping without the campaign co-op and Forge mode, we now have the exact launch date of the highly anticipated video game. According to the source, Microsoft has planned for a launch on 8 December, just in time for Christmas.

The next big Microsoft Windows update is coming in late 2021. Alongside a new interface, it will also bring a handful of exciting features, including compatibility with Android apps, better multitasking and more. Despite all the good stuff, it looks like there will be something that might frustrate you when you're experiencing it, which is the Windows 11 update will make setting default web browser difficult.

During Microsoft's E3 conference, it was confirmed that the Halo Infinite will launch in Holiday 2021. Earlier, the first technical preview has also taken place from July 29 until August 1. Until now, rumour has it that Halo Infinite could include a battle royale multiplayer mode after a voice clip of announcer Jeff Stitzer yelling "Battle Royale" was leaked.

Microsoft's latest operating system update, Windows 11, was announced not long ago and will be coming in late 2021. The update is bringing many useful key features including a Mac-like interface, better Android smartphone integration, and better virtual desktop support. Thanks to Intel, we might already be able to know when the operating system update is being rolled out.

Last week, Microsoft released a set of tech specs requirements for your laptop or PC to be eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade. Not only that, they sent us a PC Health Check app for that too but it seems that they are temporarily removing the app due to the feedback from users.

Windows 11 was one of the highlights last week but the beta is not ready yet. According to Microsoft, the public beta will only be ready next month but if you are part of the Windows Insiders program, the Windows 11 preview build (22000.51) is rolling out now.

As we mentioned earlier today, users who purchase a new laptop or PC in the future or those who already have a licensed Windows 10 will be able to upgrade to Windows 11. You can check whether your device is eligible or not here, but we also found out that a couple of Microsoft Surface devices won't be upgradeable. 

Windows 11 is certainly the buzz of the day. We have covered some highlighted Windows 11 functions, checking your laptop or PC's eligibility, and Android app requiring an Amazon AppStore account. That being said, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told the Wall Street Journal that it's also possible for Apple apps to appear on Windows 11.

Among the many new announcements about Windows 11, one of the highlights was Android apps can be installed. But how does that work? Do you need to synchronize your smartphone to the laptop or PC? Or do you need to just sign in to your Google Play Store account? After a bit of researching, here's what we found out.

By now, you should be aware of the Windows 11 news all over the Internet. Windows 11 will be a free upgrade as announced by Microsoft, but can you download and upgrade it now? Well, yes and no. There are a few steps to do before you can (if you are chosen) so read on below to know what you should do before upgrading.
