The search function will have a separate window, instead of depending on a search field integrated in the taskbar and the company has also announced that there will be important changes in the Windows application store, although in this first version, for now, things remain the same.

Microsoft has become one of Epic's allies in the crusade against Apple for the conditions it imposes on the AppStore, and recently announced less restrictive policies and lower commissions in its own stores.
Xbox will also be more present in the new operating system, with an integrated application that will give access to the Game Pass game subscription service and allow those who have an Xbox console at home to play remotely. Until now, Microsoft relied on several applications that had to be downloaded additionally to provide this functionality.
It is still unknown what the update process will be, the minimum system requirements or if Windows will charge for this new version of the operating system. The leaked version that is circulating on the network seems to work on the same devices that currently have Windows 10.
