- Windows 11 has a new preview construction for testers
- It introduces a useful functionality to recover from starting failures
- There is also the start of work in tests on a PC migration capacity
Windows 11 has a new preview version which contains certain important features, including a new method of recovery of a PC which does not reach at all.
This is an overview of construction 26200,5622 in the development channel, and it brings a capacity called Quick Machine Recovery (or QMR) of which Microsoft spoke in the past (it has been revealed to Ignite 2024, in fact).
The idea is that you trigger the switch to activate QMR in the Settings application, and if your PC cannot start in the future, Windows 11 will automatically solve the problem with “device recovery solutions”.
It will do it via the Windows recovery environment (known as Winre to short), hence the UNOTABLE PC can connect to the local network and Microsoft can analyze the diagnostic data to determine the problem and (hope) the pipe via a fix to solve the buckt.
The possible objective is to activate this by default on all PC Home Windows 11, although it will work differently for commercial devices (where IT administrators will manage functionality).
Another major movement with this version is the start of the deployment of a new PC-PC migration feature for Windows 11. It is only the initial cogs of the machinery in place, the spirit, and all you will see is a landing and pairing page in the backup application for Windows 11 for the moment.
But this feature arrives and will allow you to transfer all your files and settings of your current Windows 11 PC to a new one (during the configuration process for this machine).
A new option for telephone links users is the introduction of the possibility of reflecting the screen of your Android phone with one click on an icon in the Start menu. This could be a very useful shortcut for some people.
There is also another change for the Widgets card, where Microsoft has implemented a navigation bar on the left, allowing you to switch between a choice of dashboards. This includes a table of dedicated widgets, or other choices such as a sporting flow, or games, etc.
Finally, for those who have a COPILOT + PC, there is a new option to make, the shortcuts of the context bank towards various capacities linked to the AI. It is “draft with co -pilot in words” which can be invoked with any chosen text, and obtains a co -pilot to write something longer on this selection.
Analysis: make life easier
This is a promising version in terms of facilitating things for Windows 11 users who are at a more new level with their computer skills.
Although hardened PC enthusiasts can think of not putting anything in a new PC and applying all their favorite parameters, as well as installing their favorite applications, the less can have trouble taking their house in this regard. The PC-PC migration installation in backup applications seems to be an excellent solution for these people.
Likewise, a PC that does not start is a nightmare for beginners, and scary for even more competent users of Windows 11. Thus, QMR with its automated analysis of research problems should be a considerable step in the troubleshooting of PCs which do not even manage to reach the office. Of course, he will live or die on the quality and precision of his troubleshooting skills, which remain to be seen.
The other problem is that it is still early for these two key features, but now they are officially tested, we know that they are incoming – and I do not see Microsoft drop them before the release, these additions are simply too important.
So, this is only a matter of time before seeing them arrive, perhaps even in Windows 11 25:2h later this year, despite indices that this could be a more modest annual update.
