How Windows 11 features transform workflows

Need an easy way to boost your productivity and streamline everyday tasks? Windows 11 offers some impressive features that can truly make a difference. These tools are designed to help you work smarter, not harder, by simplifying processes and improving your overall experience. Let’s explore.

Boost your efficiency with Microsoft Copilot

Imagine being able to draft emails, summarize reports, or even generate presentations just by typing a simple prompt. Copilot, your AI companion, is there with the intelligent assistance you need. Just ask Copilot questions and make requests in words familiar to you, it will provide complete answers and automate tasks in return. For example, you can say:

  • “Copilot, draft an email to my team about the upcoming project deadline.”
  • “Summarize the quarterly sales report for me.”
  • “Create a presentation outline on the benefits of remote work.”

With Copilot, productivity is just a prompt away.

Find files faster with smart recommendations

We’ve all been there searching for that one elusive file among a sea of documents. Windows 11 makes this a breeze. Find the files you’re looking for faster with smart recommendations in your Start menu and File explorer. You can mark favorite files and use File explorer tabs, only on Windows 11, to keep your files organized and separate.2

Streamline your workspace with Snap layouts

Another standout feature is Snap layouts, which can really transform how you manage your workspace. Think about when you’re juggling multiple tasks, maybe you’re drafting a report while also keeping an eye on your emails. With Snap layouts, you can easily organize all those windows into a neat grid with just a hover over the maximize button to see what layouts are available.3 On Windows 11, Snap remembers it, so when you switch back to your work later, everything is right where you left it.
