Microsoft has been rolling out a beta version of Windows 11 for several months. Users who are curious to try out this latest operating system can try it through a browser without the need to install anything.
Moving to a new operating system, especially one that is still in beta, can certainly make you nervous because there are still many bugs. Through this web application, users can try out Windows 11 with only a browser and the internet without worrying about having problems with their device.
This Windows 11 browser version is the creation of the BlueEdge software developer which you can access at https://win11.blueedge.me/. It should be noted that this web application is not a fully functional Windows 11 replica of the original or a remote desktop running Windows 11, as quoted from PC Gamer, Saturday (28/8/2021).
After opening the BlueEdge simulation page, you have to wait a while until everything is finished loading. Then click on the application icons on the screen.
This web application is only a simulation of Windows 11 with very limited functionality. For example, users can open the Start menu, view widgets, open the Edge browser, and the Windows Store.
But other functions are still not available. For example, when a user clicks on the File Explorer icon on the taskbar, a blank window appears with the words 'Coming Soon'. The Settings icon on the taskbar is also unresponsive when clicked.
If you click the Recycle Bin icon nothing will appear, and most apps on the Start menu are also unclickable. The Notification Center and News widgets in this simulation also only display still images and not interactive elements like those in the official version of Windows 11.
Although its functionality is limited, at least users who can't wait to use Windows 11 can eliminate their curiosity. Moreover, the provisions of the specifications from Microsoft make this operating system can not be used on many older devices.
Keep in mind that this simulated version of Windows 11 is not an actual operating system, and was only created to show what it's like to use Windows 11. So don't compare the performance of this simulation with the full version of Windows 11 that Microsoft will roll out.
The final version of Windows 11 itself will only be rolled out by Microsoft towards the end of this year. Windows 10 users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free and enjoy all its new features such as a new Start menu, a more modern look, and many other improvements.
