From Windows 10 To Windows 11: How Sayta Nadella’s Microsoft Changed Direction Post Windows 8

Microsoft have said that CEO Satya Nadella has been unanimously elected to the role of board chair, which means that the first time in two decades, the Microsoft CEO and chairman will be the same person. According to data by online research firm Netmarketshare, as of May this year, Windows 10 has a 60.27% market share in the world of computing devices, by far and away the largest that still sees further fragmentation between older versions including Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. But what is in store for the future, and the update that the that Microsoft has teased as “the next generation of Windows” at the Build 2021 keynote, last month? Microsoft has been working on new visual elements with Windows 10 over the past few months, including new system icons as well as File Explorer improvements, and clues could reside in the now-shelved Windows 10X operating system development. The Windows Store for apps and games, is also expected to receive an overhaul, in line with the company’s promise to app developers and creators, for a better app store experience on Windows PCs.
