PC hardware is nice, but it’s not much use without innovative software. Windows Key-A to access the Quick SettingsĪ couple of the best keyboard shortcuts are still in place from Windows 10, including Windows Key-V to show clipboard history and Windows Key-Shift-S for the screenshot tool. Windows 11 has new keyboard shortcuts, and they're worth learning. For example, the TikTok Windows app doesn't let you post directly from your PC's webcam, while the Android version does. It's particularly useful for apps that restrict some features to mobile use. But it's pretty cool to see the app icons in your taskbar just like they're standard Windows apps.
And of course, you need an Amazon account. It's not as convoluted as it sounds, but the initial setup is less than instant.Ī three-step installation wizard takes you through the process and requires a restart. You install the Amazon AppStore from the Microsoft store and run a setup for the subsystem. The capability comes thanks to the Android Subsystem for Windows and leverages the Amazon AppStore to actually get the apps. Microsoft shocked the world when it announced that Windows 11 would be able to run Android apps-that is run Android apps directly on the Windows hardware, no Android phone required. The buttons displayed change based on context, too, so, for example, when you're searching in the right-hand search box, you get a Search Options button. Windows 11 also adds a New button for creating new folders and shortcuts, as well as documents based on the programs you have installed. Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Share, Delete, Sort, and View choices get prominent buttons at the top, saving you from having to wade through multiple menus you seldom use. With the initial Windows 11 release, Microsoft streamlined the ribbon at the top of the File Explorer menu. Also as with a web browser, you can drag tabs sideways to rearrange them and hit Alt-Left Arrow to navigate back in a tab. Just drag it to the desired tab and then down into the file list for that tab. Pro tip: You can drag a file between tabs. Just right-click on a folder and choose Open in New Tab, like you would in a web browser.
Having tabs saves you from littering your desktop with multiple File Explorer windows when you need to view more than one at a time.
