Build 22000.51 is the first official preview of Windows 11 available for compatible devices in the Dev Channel, and it includes a lot of the improvements that Microsoft plans to release later this year.

In this hands-on video, we will get a closer look at the new overhauled desktop experience, including a new Start menu and a taskbar that now both use a centered and simplified design. We’ll look at the fresh take of Action Center that now is divided into Notification Center and Quick Settings, and you will find six new default themes and system sounds, and the startup sound makes a comeback.

The video walkthrough also highlights the updated File Explorer app, the entirely redesigned Settings app, and the new Microsoft Store. Furthermore, you will get a first look at the new Widgets feature, multitasking features like Snap layouts, Snap groups, and Desktops, and more.
