Microsoft tests new Windows 11 smartphone integration features

Windows 11 smartphone integration Phone Companion Windows 11 Starter hardware requirements

Microsoft is internally testing a major Windows 11 update that would make working with a smartphone more seamless. Planned changes include an expanded Phone Companion tile in the Start menu, a dedicated phone control panel in the system‑tray, enhanced clipboard synchronization between PC and phone, and a separate SMS application. These features are still in preview and have not been confirmed for stable releases.

Separately, commentators note that many users struggle with Windows 11’s hardware requirements and suggest Microsoft could launch a low‑spec edition similar to the Windows 7 Starter version, aimed at budget devices. This proposal reflects ongoing concerns about the accessibility of the operating system for less powerful PCs.
