It all starts with your computer

Your computer, in whatever form factor you prefer, is what you carry around or see every day on your desk. It delivers on your needs and makes a statement about who you are. The latest generation of devices for Windows 11 are much better than PCs from a few years ago. And you get to choose whatever format works best for you : laptop, custom desktop, 2-in-1 tablet, and more. There is a variety of device types, perfect for a variety of lifestyles.

Once you turn on your computer, what’s important is how easily you can interact with it to get things done. Family, friends, obsessions, music, creations—Windows 11 is the one place for it all. With a fresh new feel and tools that make it easier to be efficient, Windows 11 has what you need for whatever’s next.
