Microsoft has started rolling out a brand new Photos app to users signed up for the Windows Insider program and running Windows 11 preview build.

Originally teased the 2009 week, the updated Photos app comes with refreshed UI that includes all the modern Windows 11 interface improvements, such as the rounded corners. Furthermore, there's additionally a dark mode, which makes sense because of the same visual style is also offered at OS level.

While only select insiders are getting the brand new Photos app at this time, everybody should be able to try out the brand new version in the coming weeks, especially because Windows 11 is near to reaching the RTM phase.

Based on Microsoft's official release calendar, Windows 11 will start rolling to production devices on October 5, so theoretically, the operating-system ought to be signed off sooner or later this month.

Free upgrade only for eligible devices.

Windows 11 is going to be shipped to devices that meet the system requirements, as Microsoft says it needs newer hardware to guarantee the best experience on all devices.

As a result, few people will get Windows 11 free of charge, though these computers can stick to Windows 10 until 2025, as Microsoft remains committed to supporting the operating system according to its original calendar.

"As our unprecedented number of Windows Insiders have shown, many people with eligible devices will choose to move to Windows 11 to experience all the new innovations across connection, productivity, creativity and play it provides. If you are utilizing a PC that won't upgrade, and who aren't prepared to transition to a different device, Windows 10 may be the right choice. We'll support Windows 10 through October 14, 2025 and that we recently announced that the next feature update to Windows 10 is originating later this season," Microsoft says.
