Microsoft might have an extreme way in its pocket to prevent users from installing Windows 11 on unsupported machines. According to the latest information, the tech giant might use a permanent watermark to warn those who install the operating system (OS) on devices that don't meet the system requirements.

The Android app support is a highly-anticipated feature for Microsoft's latest operating system update, Windows 11. However, it looks like some requirements might annoy the users or even lead to them giving up using the feature.

Microsoft will soon roll out some Xbox features for our fellow PC gamers on Windows 11. The company plans to bring the Xbox HDR Game Calibration app and optimizations for windowed gaming to the operating system (OS). Through the features, users will get to enjoy improved colour accuracy and consistency of an HDR display, plus run older games with less input lag, Auto HDR, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) when they're in windowed mode.

Late last month, Microsoft held a public beta for a new update that officially brings Android app support to Windows 11. The feature was first announced last year, and it looks like Microsoft is finally ready to roll out the feature.

Have you been hoping to access your Android apps on Windows 11? Android emulators are not perfect, so having another option is good, especially if it's officially supported by Microsoft. Now, the company has confirmed that a public preview is coming soon.

After the announcement of Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard came out, the company will reportedly launch three new Call of Duty titles. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the games are also likely to make it to Sony's PlayStation consoles rather than being exclusive to Xbox.

Microsoft is working on something that might attract you to switch to the latest Windows 11. An engineering student named Gustave Monce discovered that the tech giant is giving Task Manager a interface redesign to fit the new operating system update.

As most gamers heard by now, Microsoft Corp. has made an initiative to acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in value. There are a lot of reactions across the internet, some poking fun of Diablo 4 may finally be completed sooner while others are still concerned about Blizzard's internal mess of sexual allegations. But is this good news for gamers?

In an attempt to catch up with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge had experimented with several features in the past, and some of them are just unnecessary. Today, the browser introduces a new Games panel for users that brings a collection of HTML5 games. Necessary or not, you tell us. 

Microsoft doesn't really like the idea of Windows users merely using its Edge browser as a tool to install Google Chrome, and it shows with this new prompt message. According to a report, Microsoft Edge will now show various messages to users by hinting that it's a better browser compared to Google Chrome.
