Even if you're not a gamer, Windows 11 has HDR-related enhancements for you. Microsoft has added HDR support to color-managed apps, like Adobe Photoshop. This allows those apps to access the full range of colors on an HDR display. You need to enable this setting for each app according to its compatibility properties.

2. Emulator x64 for ARM devices

This is a big Windows 11 feature that helps support ARM mobile devices that can emulate x64 apps.

Until now, Windows ARM laptops like the HP Elite Folio could only run native ARM apps or emulate x86 (32-bit) apps. That's a problem because there are some apps that no longer offer 32-bit variants. With support for x64 emulation, almost any Windows application will now work with ARM-based phones and tablets.

3. Better keyboard and input

Microsoft is dramatically improving the touch keyboard experience on Windows 11 without making any changes to your hardware.

The virtual keyboard has a new design with transparency effects, built-in emojis and animated GIF search. The menu has been overhauled to be easier to understand, with labels for every button and nested structure. Plus, you can now easily remove the touch pad from the bottom of the display and move it around.

Voice input also gets a new, more modern look, with transparency effects and smaller windows. If you want to use it without the touch keyboard, you can activate it with Windows key + H .

4. New Folder Icons on Windows 11

Another new innovation is the SSD reliability warning. When Windows detects that one of your drives is at risk of failure, you'll receive a warning message so you can replace the drive before you lose data. Meanwhile, drive optimization remains separate from the Settings app, but Microsoft has added a new Advanced view that lets you see additional drives.
