Boba FMicrosoft's latest operating system, Windows 11, started its phased rollout to compatible devices in October, and Windows 10 got its own update earlier this month. So far only some people have been prompted to update to the newer OS of the two, and many others ponder if they should download Windows 11 anyway. But if you installed Windows 11, you'll find there are tons of tips, tricks and hidden features that are easy to learn and can make working on your laptop smoother. 

Whether you're using your computer for work or your personal life, it's a good time to master some of Windows' productivity features. These built-in tricks can help you do everything from set up Taskbar shortcuts to save battery power and get the most out of your machine. Microsoft doesn't typically publicize its hidden features in the same way that, say, Apple does. This can make it more difficult to know how to take advantage of all that Windows has to offer. But we've got you covered.
