At Microsoft's annual developer event Build 2023 the company revealed its integration ChatGPT on Bing and an AI “personal assistant”. for Windows 11.
But the company also announced two more big (non-AI) changes:
A. Windows 11 will be able to receive backups to restore the operating system from the cloud. What does this mean; All of us who use smartphones have long known a similar function. We buy a new device and on the first boot, we just need to log into our account to select "Restore my apps" from the backups stored in the cloud.
Now Windows will be able to do the same.
“If the user chooses, Windows will automatically apply the old wallpaper and settings and start preloading apps you had installed on your old PC. So once the user sees the new desktop, they'll also see all the apps they used before on the taskbar Clicking on the icons will start an automatic download from the Microsoft Store.”
B. Windows 11 will be better supported on ARM devices. This like reports Windows Central “should result in the best experience on devices like the Surface Pro 9 (ARM), the Surface Pro X and the new Dell Inspiron 14 with processor Snapdragon 8cx 2”.
On the gaming side, Unity with native support for Windows on ARM will be available in early June. Once released, the tool will allow developers to build Windows games on ARM devices, resulting in better performance. Unity is a very popular development platform for games, and native support for Windows on ARM is a welcome addition.
