I tried upcoming modern Windows Run on Windows 11, and it won’t replace legacy Run, at least for now

Windows 11 is testing a revamped version of its classic Run feature, which will have a modernized interface and is entirely optional. The traditional Run remains unchanged and will coexist with the new version. The modern Run resembles a contemporary flyout, appears as a large, rounded card at the bottom of the screen, and adapts to both dark and light modes. It features a clean input area, a Run button, and a history list of previously accessed commands. The new Run is designed to be more touch-friendly and operates with the same immediacy as the legacy version, without performance issues. However, it cannot be repositioned on the desktop. The modern Run can be activated through Settings > System > Advanced, and Microsoft may introduce new features over time, but the legacy Run will remain the default experience.

This Trick WIll Let ‘Incompatible’ Windows 10 PCs Upgrade to Windows 11

Microsoft officially ceased support for Windows 10 as of October, although users can still receive security updates for an additional year. Many computers do not meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, but some may still be compatible with adjustments to settings. Users can check compatibility using Microsoft's PC Health Check app and may need to enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in the BIOS. UEFI should be enabled instead of legacy BIOS mode for compatibility. If compatibility issues persist, adding a TPM module may enhance compatibility for certain motherboards. Upgrading to Windows 11 is advisable for computers six years old or newer due to security vulnerabilities in unsupported systems.
