This should come as a relief to many PC users who have an Asus motherboard. The new firmware for Asus motherboards would allow users to upgrade to Windows 11 without any modifications in the motherboard settings in the BIOS. It is worth noting that at the moment, Asus is working on <a href="https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z270f-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios">firmware updates</a> for Intel motherboards. AMD motherboards will likely be worked upon later. It’s worth noting that the Strix Z270F motherboard supports Intel’s 7th generation processors – also known as Kaby Lake. Apart from this, the Intel Celeron G3900 and sixth-gen Intel Core i3 6098P processor are also supported by the Z270F motherboard. It is worth pointing out that these firmware updates are still in beta and could likely be buggy, so proceed with caution. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Windows 11 minimum requirements" comment="subhead" text="Windows 11 minimum requirements">Windows 11 minimum requirements</cmsannotation> Microsoft has outlined some of the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 11.

However, the company says that this is only for “temporary use”, and that users will not be guaranteed updates – this includes even security updates. This will leave those unsupported computers at a major security risk. It is not clear if Microsoft will change course on this and push out security updates without any major fuss, or if it will actually follow through on its warning and ban these unsupported computers from installing any updates whatsoever. So far, the company has maintained vagueness in whether or not these unsupported computers will be able to get any Windows 11 update. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Windows 11 minimum requirements" comment="subhead" text="Windows 11 minimum requirements">Windows 11 minimum requirements</cmsannotation> Microsoft also outlined some of the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 11.

It's been six years since the release of <keyword id="6423476" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="windows-10">Windows 10</keyword>, and the computer world has changed a lot since then.But what will Windows 11 mean for you? What's the difference between it and the operating system you've got now? And is your computer ready for the update?Let's take a deep dive into Windows 11.<h2>Windows 11: What to expect</h2>As a successor to Windows 10, Windows 11 marks the first major update to the Windows platform since 2015.Each version of Windows comes with its own changes and new features. That said, the majority of Windows 11's new features are aesthetic. Windows 11 looks more different than any Windows version before it, which might frustrate some longtime users.Here are five big features coming to Windows 11:<ul><li>New Start menu and taskbar design: The Start menu is moving to the bottom-center of the screen instead of the bottom-left corner. You also can't move the taskbar to the sides or top of the screen anymore.</li></ul><div type="image" title="The Windows 11 Start menu." height="1119" width="2100" msid="84991655" hostid="261"></div><ul><li>Improved virtual desktop support: Virtual desktops let you have more than one desktop on the same screen. Windows 11 will let you rename these desktops, give them custom backgrounds, and switch between them more quickly.</li><li>Revamped Microsoft Store with Android support: has been completely redesigned, and now includes Android apps. This means that if you have a favorite app on your Android phone - TikTok, for example - you'll be able to load it on your <keyword id="6365259" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="PC">PC</keyword>.</li></ul><div type="image" title="The Windows 11 app store, advertising Android apps." height="1333" width="2000" msid="84991656" hostid="261"></div><ul><li>"Snap Layout" multitasking tools: A new menu lets you quickly and more freely arrange all your apps on the screen at once. You can let each app take a quarter of the screen, let one app take half, and more.</li></ul><div type="image" title="A Windows 11 menu with a pop-up that lets you arrange it in different places on the screen." height="836" width="1486" msid="84991657" hostid="261"></div><ul><li>Better visuals: Under the hood, automatic HDR tech gives games and apps more vibrant graphics, and DirectStorage shortens load times.</li></ul><h2>How to install the Windows 11 beta</h2>In the lead up to Windows 11's public release, Microsoft is letting users download the Windows 11 Insider Build. This is a work-in-progress version of the OS that includes most of the final version's main features.The Windows 11 beta is being distributed through the Windows Insider Program. To sign up, <a href="https://insider.windows.com/en-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">head to this page and click the Register option</a>. You'll need to log in with your existing Microsoft account.Once you've signed up, <a href="https://insider.windows.com/en-us/understand-flighting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">head to this page and click Flight now</a>. Follow the instructions you're given, and you'll be running Windows 11 in no time.<div type="image" title="A page inviting Windows users to &quot;flight&quot; their computer, installing beta software." height="1376" width="2880" msid="84991659" hostid="261"></div>Important: Before you download the Windows 11 beta, understand that this is an unfinished product. Most major features should run smoothly, but expect to run into bugs and unintended quirks. If you have the choice, don't download the beta on your main PC - if something goes very wrong and corrupts your computer, it'll be hard to find tech support.As you use the Windows 11 beta, you might be asked to share feedback with Microsoft. There's no requirement to do this, but it's a great place to suggest new features.<h2>Windows 11 public release date</h2>There's no official public release date for Windows 11. But all signs are pointing to October 2021.This October, retailers will likely start selling computers with Windows 11 installed. Current Windows 10 users will be able to upgrade for free in early 2022.At some point after that, Microsoft will start selling Windows 11 by itself, probably for about $100 to $200. But Microsoft hasn't given any information about that yet.If you're impatient, you can download the "Insider" build of Windows 11 right now. This is a beta version that doesn't have all the features you'll see in the final version. For more information on how to get this, check out our section above.<h2>Windows 11 system requirements</h2>If you've bought or built your computer in the last five years, there's a good chance that you'll be able to update to Windows 11.Here are the exact specs you'll need:<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 211px;" border="1"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 50%;">Computer Component</td><td style="width: 50%;">What you need for Windows 11</td></tr><tr style="height: 64px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 64px;">Processor (CPU)</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 64px;">A <a href="http://aka.ms/CPUlist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compatible 64-bit processor</a> with two or more cores, and a speed of at least 1Ghz; or a System on a Chip (SoC)</td></tr><tr style="height: 21px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">Memory (RAM)</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">At least 4GB</td></tr><tr style="height: 42px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 42px;">Storage space</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 42px;">At least 64GB - more will be needed for future updates</td></tr><tr style="height: 42px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 42px;">Graphics</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 42px;">Compatible with DirectX 12 or later, with a WDDM 2.0 driver</td></tr><tr style="height: 21px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">Motherboard</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">UEFI, Secure Boot compatible</td></tr><tr style="height: 21px;"><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">Other requirements</td><td style="width: 50%; height: 21px;">TPM 2.0 module, HD monitor larger than 9'' diagonally</td></tr></tbody></table>You can find your computer's individual stats in a few different ways. If you bought a prebuilt PC, check out the manual or contact the manufacturer. If you built your PC or don't know which model you bought, you'll need to go through the Device Manager and look up your computer's components.The TPM 2.0 module will be a sticking point for some users. The Trusted Platform Module is a device that's meant to keep your data secure and make sure your version of Windows is "authentic." Microsoft is including it to crack down on users running pirated versions of Windows, and encourage them to use more official Microsoft apps.To check if you have a TPM 2.0, log into an Administrator account, press the Windows key + R, and search for tpm.msc. In the window that appears, if you see The TPM is ready for use, you've got a TPM module. If it also says Specification Version: 2.0, you've got a working TPM 2.0 module.<div type="image" title="A computer menu explaining what type of TPM this computer has. The phrases &quot;The TPM is ready for use&quot; and &quot;Specification Version: 2.0&quot; are highlighted." height="786" width="1080" msid="84991658" hostid="261"></div>If it tells you that you don't have a TPM module installed, also be sure to check your computer's BIOS. Your TPM might just be disabled.Quick tip: There is a way to install Windows 11 without a TPM 2.0 module, but it requires editing your computer's registry to bypass the TPM check.Alternatively, you can use an app that will scan your PC and tell you if it can upgrade. Microsoft had released their own tool for this, but after users reported inaccurate results, they took it down.

<ul><li>The <keyword id="11169517" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dell-latitude-7320" source="Orion">Dell Latitude 7320</keyword> is a portable 2-in-1 business laptop.</li><li>It provides easy access to IT thanks to vPro functionality.</li><li>Starting at ₹85,000, it can be set up in a variety of configurations according to an enterprise’s needs.</li></ul> What do you think of when you come across the word ‘business laptop’? A plain-Jane design, barely enough performance so that you can fill out your spreadsheets, right? Well, <keyword id="28251" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dell" source="Orion">Dell</keyword> is trying to add a bit of flair to this category of laptops with the Dell Latitude 7320. There are actually two variants in this line-up, the vanilla Latitude 7320 which is a 2-in-1 laptop capable of a full 360-degree split and the Latitude 7320 Detachable which comes with a detachable folio keyboard. I got to spend a couple of weeks with the former and I found it pretty refreshing, to say the least, and here’s how it fared in my review. Design &amp; I/O <div type="image" title="ports - cropped" msid="88126237" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell Latitude has a bunch of ports to offer, including a full-sized HDMI and two USB type-C ports.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Let’s start with one of the things that I really came to like about the Dell Latitude 7320 — its design. It’s not too mundane like most <keyword id="2427663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="business-laptops" source="Orion">business laptops</keyword> in the wild nor is it trying too hard to impress with something gaudy. It has a minimalist yet timeless design. It’s crafted out of aluminium, which yields it a premium feel and its overall footprint is pretty portable. Although it’s marketed as a lightweight laptop, tipping the scales at 1.12kg, it feels a bit heavy in your lap because of how dense it is. But given all this, it still can be carried around easily in a backpack. Opening the lid is manageable with a single hand, and once you do that you are greeted with a 13-inch display, keyboard and trackpad. Thanks to the aluminium build, there’s very little flex on the keyboard deck as well as the lid. In terms of I/O options, on the right side of the laptop, you’ll find a microSD card reader, a USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB-A port, an HDMI port, and the wedge lock slot. The left side features another Thunderbolt 4 port and a combo audio jack. This laptop only charges via Type-C and ports on both sides can be used — something that I find really practical. It usually sucks when the direction of your AC socket is opposite to that of your charging port, so the ability to charge your laptop via both sides is really convenient. Specifications and Pricing Since this is a business laptop, it comes in a plethora of configurations to choose from. This is because employers buy such laptops in bulk, and configure them to their liking. But Dell says that in its top configuration, you can power it up with Intel’s vPro-enabled 11th-Generation i7-1185G7 processor paired with Iris X integrated Graphics, 32GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a terabyte of PCIe Gen 3 M.2 SSD. It is also TPM 2.0 compliant, so you may get support for Windows 11. The vPro badge basically means IT can have remote access to your laptop and can also provide timely updates tailored to your company’s needs. In terms of pricing, Dell says the bare basic version of Dell Latitude 7320 starts at Rs. 85,000 (exclusive of taxes) and then you can start building it up according to your enterprise’s needs. <div type="image" title="intel core i5 - cropped" msid="88126258" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell Latitude 7320 comes in a plethora of configurations but all of them feature Intel&amp;#39;s latest 11th-generation processors. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Having said that, my review unit came with an Intel i5-1135G7 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB PCIe NVMe Class 35 SSD. All this was backed by a 42WHr battery that was accompanied by a 65W charger. Hardware performance The hardware was good enough to get through most of my casual work which mostly included some heavy Chrome browsing. Heavy spreadsheets along with some docs and CMS duties worked just fine -- both with and without the charger. This laptop also comes with Dell Optimizer pre-installed. Once I took out the time to set it up (and not treat it as yet another piece of bloat), I ended up liking it. For starters, it gave me access to ExpressConnect, which made sure I connected to the fastest access point available around me, something that I found really useful in the office. ExpressSign-in is another such feature that I found useful. It used the laptop’s proximity sensor enabled by Intel’s Context Sensing Technology to determine when to ask me for the four-digit pin to log in. It worked well in the day, but the night I could see it faltering. Then you also have ExpressResponse, which may be the most undervalued of all these. It lets you prioritise the apps you use the most so that you can open them faster. I didn’t expect much in terms of video editing or gaming, as my unit lacked standalone graphics and sufficient RAM, and I was mostly right. Adobe Premiere Pro was mostly unusable due to the stuttering and 13-inch screen size. The same is the case with gaming. F1 2020 was too slow to be played. But older titles, such as Age of Empires 2 and Stronghold Crusader HD from Steam worked fine. So if you’re a person who is into casual gaming, you may not mind it all that much. Display While we are on the topic of screen size, I think the 13-inch display of this laptop is actually pretty good at what it does. As the full HD resolution isn’t being stretched much, it looks crisp. I also like the colour saturation of the display— it’s vibrant and very much to my liking. The display also comes with ComfortView technology that claims reduces blue-light emissions, making sure your eyes aren’t stressed when you’re working for long hours. The display has a glossy finish, so reflections are going to be problematic if you’re planning to work outdoors or in a brightly lit room. But indoors, it’s pretty much manageable. <div type="image" title="glare - cropped" msid="88126275" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell Latitude 7320 comes with a 13-inch full HD touchscreen that is prone to catching fingerprints and reflections. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The touchscreen performance was nothing to write home about. Sometimes it was pretty responsive to my inputs, sometimes it wasn’t. But swipe gestures were a bit difficult to execute precisely overall. The speakers, though downward-firing, sounded a little tiny to my liking and lacked thump. Further, the glossy nature of the display also makes it a fingerprint magnet, something that becomes more noticeable when you use it in tablet mode. It was nice, nevertheless, to have 2-in-1 functionality. I’m a bit of a loner and I liked having a big-ish display to accompany me in the kitchen (I don’t recommend you do this) as I watched the latest episode of Young Sheldon. The top of the display also houses a 720p webcam with a privacy slider. It doesn’t take up a lot of bezel real estate and is compatible with Windows Hello, which means you can unlock your laptop with it. The webcam quality is nothing extraordinary, but it’s not terrible either and you can totally use it to attend Zoom calls or Google Meets. Keyboard and trackpad Given its small footprint, the Latitude 7320 has a surprisingly well-spaced keyboard. But that didn’t translate into a good typing experience. While I did like the size and travel of the keys, I didn’t like the feedback. I wasn’t quite sure about my inputs getting registered at times, which is a bummer for a work laptop. One thing I did like was the distinctive feel of the power button and how well it was integrated into the keyboard. I never pressed it by accident, and whenever I did press it, it felt purposeful and deliberate. The trackpad, though small, was pretty responsive and I had no issues with it. <div type="image" title="keyboard - cropped" msid="88126284" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Dell Latitude 7320&amp;#39;s keyboard is nice and spaced out, but has poor tactile feedback. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Connectivity In terms of wireless connectivity, you have the latest WiFi 6 offering along with Bluetooth 5.1 across the lineup. Connecting to a network is quick and so are the data speeds. I also connected a pair of headphones and speakers wirelessly via Bluetooth, and the results were acceptable, offering about 7-8m of uninterrupted wireless connectivity. Battery Battery backup is pretty important for a business laptop like this and I was able to extract eight hours easily. This was achieved while browsing some Chrome, filling spreadsheets, playing videos and writing documents. Playing Age of Empires 2 for an hour, cut the backup by an hour and a half, which isn’t terrible by any measure. Verdict Given the great design, portability, build quality, crisp display and good battery life, the Dell Latitude 7320 makes for a good business laptop. The keyboard, though pretty well laid out, wasn’t very comfortable for my long fingers, but the typing experience may be slightly different for you. Given the vPro functionality, it can be a great choice for enterprises, but if you’re trying to buy something for yourself, there are better options available in the form of Dell Inspiron 15 and HP Envy x360 13 that are better specced for end consumers. <table style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px !important; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: none; max-width: 100%; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.6em; background-image: inherit !important; background-position: inherit !important; background-size: inherit !important; background-repeat: inherit !important; background-attachment: inherit !important; background-origin: inherit !important; background-clip: inherit !important; box-shadow: none; width: 468pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Merriweather; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; table-layout: fixed;" class="redcator-table-advance"><colgroup></colgroup><col /><col /><tbody><tr><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Pros </td><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Cons </td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Great design &amp; build quality </td><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Unpredictable keyboard feedback </td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Crisp display </td><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Expensive for end consumers </td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Good battery life </td><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </td></tr><tr><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;">2-in-1 functionality </td><td style="padding: 5pt; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1pt solid rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; list-style: none; vertical-align: top; overflow: hidden; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody></table>
