Unless you have been busy fighting aliens in orbit, you probably already know that Redmond has shared some news about the "next edition of Windows". The official event on June 24 will clear up all doubts, but a leak has already confirmed that the operating system will be called Windows 11, and the web has embraced all the details, starting with the wallpapers. So, if you want a sneak peek at the Windows 11 wallpapers, you have come to the right place.
Windows 10 is already more than five years old, but Microsoft confirmed that support for Home and Pro editions will extend until 2025, setting a kind of expiration date, so to speak. What comes next? Despite some statements about Windows 10 being "the last edition of Windows", the most recent leaks suggest that the operating system will carry the name Windows 11. Unless Microsoft has a surprise in store, there is no reason to think the name will change.
What does Windows 11 look like? It's simple: remember Windows 10X? Microsoft decided to cancel it and transfer several of its interface optimizations to Windows 11. That means a new start menu, windows with rounded corners, updated icons, a centered taskbar, and the absence of live tiles. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that this is a development build, and the changes are more conservative than they appear. If there is one major visual change to highlight in this operating system, it is its wallpaper package. Thanks to the leak, today we can see what the new Windows 11 wallpapers look like, and obviously, download some copies.
The new Windows 11 wallpapers
So far, the number available amounts to 18. The default wallpapers (which look like frozen fabric) have dark and light variants. The set called "Flow" has four lighter variants, while "Captured Motion" goes all in on color. The other two sets are "Glow", composed of four spheres/orbs of different colors, and the last set is "Sunrise", a clear reference to the codename of Windows 11, Sun Valley.
The versions of the Windows 11 wallpapers that we are sharing here are limited to 1080p in height, but the original resolution in all cases is 3840 x 2400 pixels. Personally, if you want a copy of these wallpapers, I recommend not waiting too long. There is always the possibility that Redmond will start shooting nuclear missiles in different directions, and we cannot confirm that the wallpapers are "final". If you like what you see, download it now.
