Even if Windows 11 has been around for more than2 years, the operating system has only surpassed400 million usersworldwide last October, while Windows 10 has over 1 billion users currently active.
There aren’t any dominant reasons why people aren’t migrating to Windows 11: Windows 10 is still getting the job done, and even if it reaches the end-of-support by the end of 2025, Microsoft has decided to let users extend it for3 more years, for a price, of course.
But that doesn’t mean Windows 11 is out of the question. The operating system is a better fit for gamers, and it comes with a lot of exciting features, such asWindows Copilot, a redesigned File Explorer, and many other features.
However, for those Windows users who are not yet sure about the 2-year-old operating system, there is an unofficial solution that can be tried to see if Windows 11 is the right fit for them or not.
We’re talking about Blue Edge’s Win11 in React, a simulation of a standard Windows 11 desktop experience made with React, CSS, and JavaScript. The project is not affiliated with Microsoft, but the Redmond-based tech giant should release a similar experience for those who want to experience Windows 11.
How to access Win11React
You’ll have access to File Explorer, Windows 11’s Settings, Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Store, and you’ll be able to move around and try the Quick Settings, and other places.
However, accessing Spotify will cause the simulation to crash, but it can be restored with a simple refresh.
The simulation is quite superficial, and users have access to a rudimental version of Windows 11, but it should be more than enough to interact with its design and form an opinion.
Unfortunately, the simulation is not suggestive of how your device’s behavior with Windows 11 installed on it, so you might want to be aware of this before downloading and installing Windows 11.
Win11 in React also doesn’t have the newer Windows 11 capabilities, such as Windows Copilot, so the experience of actually using Windows 11 on your device might be a bit different. However, from a UI perspective, this tool should be more than enough to give you an idea of how to move around Windows 11.
If you try it, be sure to let us know your opinions on it.
