We have the first glimpse of Windows 11. What do you think of it?

With a build of Windows 11 leaking earlier today, we finally have a first look at the new operating system from Microsoft.

What you need to know

• The first build of Windows 11 has leaked online.
• We're grabbing images as quickly as we can to show off how the operating system looks.
• Since this is a leaked build, it may not represent the final look of Windows 11.

The first Windows 11 build has leaked online. Our senior editor Zac Bowden is working quickly to get a closer look at the operating system. The leaked build gives us a first look at how Windows 11 will look, including the new Start Menu and taskbar.

Since this is a leaked build, some parts of it may not look the same as the version of Windows 11 that ships to the public. That being said, Bowden states that the Start Menu and Taskbar are representative of what will ship with Windows 11.

First glimpse at Windows 11 UI

Soon after the build leaked online, we grabbed some shots of its Start Menu and taskbar.

Windows 11 startup sound

Bowden also shared a clip of the new Windows 11 startup sound and compared it to the one from Windows 95.

I may be listening too much into things, but does the new Windows 11 start up noise sound a little like a modern take on the Windows 95 start up noise? pic.twitter.com/WDnhHeT7iq
