Windows 11 Microsoft Spotify Integration focus session

Microsoft will soon initiate Spotify in Windows 11 as part of the Focus Sessions. this feature will help users to complete tasks while listening to their favourite music.

The development is transferred by Chief Product Officer Panos Panay on Twitter. Also, a speedy video clip demonstrating how this feature works.

Additionally, Microsoft is also merging its OneNote apps into one and this will be part of a series of updates over the next 12 months.

The company says it will provide the “simplicity of a single OneNote app on Windows while enjoying the interface and features you’re already familiar with.”

Panay shared a first look at a new Focus Session feature coming soon to Windows 11 through a short clip on Twitter.

Windows 11 Microsoft and Spotify

It shows Spotify integration into Windows 11 as part of Focus Sessions. In the Clock app, under the Focus sessions tab, a dedicated panel for Spotify can be seen.

This basically lets you select a focus timer and complete tasks while hearing your favourite playlist on Spotify. A list of duties can be seen on the page with a timer beyond it, and the Spotify board to the right.

For now, the Focus Sessions feature is not available in the public build of Windows 11 but Panay shared it is coming soon.

Microsoft Employees Will Need Proof of Vaccination to Return to Office

Additionally, Microsoft will be releasing a series of updates over the next 12 months for OneNote wherein the OneNote for Windows 10 is available in the Microsoft Store. The OneNote app installed with Office will be integrated into one OneNote app.

This app will get new features as well as existing features that are currently unique to OneNote for Windows 10. Those using the OneNote for Windows version of the service will get an in-app invitation to update to the OneNote app starting thin e second half of next year.

If you are already using the OneNote app installed with Office, you will start to see new segments when the rollout initiates. If you are using OneNote for Windows 10, you will know of features that will help you transition to the OneNote app.

Interestingly, Both OneNote apps will continue to run in Windows 11. However, OneNote for Windows 10 will not be pre-installed on a new install of Windows 11. The app is also open as a free standalone version as well.

Windows 11 Microsoft Basic Requirements

Microsoft has raised the requirement ceiling quite a bit for Windows 11.

• At least 1 GHz dual-core CPU (more on that in a bit)
• 4 GB RAM
• 64 GB of drive space
• UEFI and Secure Boot are capable
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 (also more on that later)
• DirectX 12 compatible graphics, either dedicated or onboard
• At least a 9”, 720p display

At first glance, those don’t sound too bad, except that Microsoft has stated. As of this writing, only CPUs that are either Intel 8th Gen or AMD Ryzen 2000 series or newer will be officially by Windows 11.

That accidentally leaves out a lot of people with machines that aren’t old. Now, don’t panic yet.

Microsoft has no plans of abandoning Windows 10 anytime soon, like the situation surrounding Windows 7. Older systems may still be able to run Windows 11 even though they may not be *officially* workable.

I suspect we’ll have more details on that closer to lathe unch.
