Since its launch in 2015, Windows 10 has launched many versions, but generally speaking, the impression is more like "reinventing the old tune". Each update is nothing more than tinkering without many attractive designs, which makes us miss the Windows 11 concept version exposed in 2018.
What is disappointing is that Microsoft made a statement declaring
Windows 10 to be the last independent version of Windows. Therefore, it means that there will be no more versions of Windows 10 or above pushed to everyone in the future. However, just recently, a group of "Windows Concept Edition" videos have exploded again, which seems to have attracted the attention of many users and gives people a brand new feeling!
1. Taskbar
Since it is Windows 11, the first thing to modify is the icon UI. According to the comparison between the concept version and the current version in the legend, it can be found that all icons in the taskbar have been adjusted, and the icons are more detailed and the style is more unified.

2. Notification Center
Careful friends may find that the Cortana function has been moved to the right side of the taskbar. Adjacent to it are the taskbar search function and virtual desktop buttons. Such an adjustment may be more suitable for the majority of users. After all, Cortana is still just a decoration function for most users and is not of much use.
In addition, the power and WIFI icons on the taskbar give people a sense of sight as a mobile device, and the WIFI icon can intuitively show the strength of the signal. Compared with today's Windows 10, it is not only colorful but also more practical.
3. Start menu
Observing the display, you can see that the applications listed in the start menu are suspended on the right panel of the menu in the shape of a rounded rectangle. Although the overall look is very refreshing, it seems to be closer to the design style of mobile devices.
However, I really like the design of the Windows 11 concept version that puts the user's avatar and name at the top of the menu, which reminds me of early Windows 10 (early Windows 10 also tried this design, but for some reason it was later shrunk to a small icon).
4. Window design
The window design seems to have regained the feeling of the rounded rectangle of the Windows 7 system, but it has made a lot of progress in the design of style and color, and even the lines have been omitted, which seems messy but orderly.
The control panel has not changed much. Generally speaking, it has just changed its clothes. The categories and icon styles have not changed much.
5. Quick search bar
Friends who have used the Windows 10 taskbar search function know that the current version of Windows 10 completes searches through the Cortana panel. It seems convenient and fast, but in fact it is the same as the search function in the start menu of
Windows 7 system.
However, there are big changes in the Windows 11 concept version. We can complete some searches through the temporary search bar, which looks more concise and efficient.
I have to say that this Windows 11 concept version has many changes based on the current version of Windows 10. With such a design, I doubt whether I am using a mobile device. However, from an aesthetic point of view, I still agree with this style of design. What do you think?
