Like the desktop, the server is
another part of Windows 11 Enterprise which provides additional partitions and
drives. Subsystem Drive of Windows 11 can be viewed or accessed through a
browser, for example, Subsystem Drive allows you to create a subdirectory of
your choice. You can even share this file on a network too.

expansions by increasing existing storage by selecting “Windows Storage” >
“Storage space expansion”. Once the process starts you can check all the
expansion options by clicking ‘Create More Space’. This will allow you to
manage storage based on your need. When the expansion is completed you will see

convenient feature that is highly functional. At times, you would run into
problems on small screens of mobile phones. By turning on this feature, it
automatically turns off whenever you open a new device. No matter what size
your screen is you can still view it. If you face some issues in it or find any
blank spaces, even if you are using larger screens then simply select the

manner.

two types: High definition (HD), Low definition (LD) and Custom mode.

technical specifications on each monitor like PCI Express, DisplayPort and

Windows Virtual Machine
Support

Linux OS and Windows Server, allows users to install a completely isolated
Windows environment. It doesn’t support traditional Windows-based applications
such as SQL Server and Office. Its main purpose is to provide a great solution
for developers, administrators, and domain experts to build Windows
applications and servers.
VMMware and Hyper-V
Windows Virtual Machine and
Hyper-V are specially designed to solve real-world computing needs. To begin
with, users can start, stop and replicate to any given folder, anywhere in
Windows, and to do so, you need to purchase VMware (Windows-like solution to
virtual environments) and Hyper-V. VMware is basically a collection of
resources for VMware and Hyper-V. It includes common hardware drivers, VDI
support for Ceph, VHDM for containerization, Fuse support, HVM support, RAID
controllers, etc. Hyper-V works differently. Users can launch VM instances for
every physical GPU. But, Hyper-V has limited capacity. Only one instance per
physical GPU. Hyper-V allows the creation of distributed storage, as mentioned above
(on a temporary basis) but it requires separate VMs for all machines. Thus you
can’t use everything under one environment since a virtualized machine is
always running different instances in parallel.
Windows Key

important tool for accessing sensitive information from your desktop that might
be considered confidential. It hides that folder in a private directory on the user’s computer. There should be a password or username to enter to unlock that
folder.

Command Prompt, you can quickly switch between command line and GUI. It shows
your active session and lets you switch between different sessions.
Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is the best
choice for business analytics when you have fewer IT skills. You require fewer
resources so it becomes suitable for large organizations. Because of the power
of R language, Windows PowerShell offers a set of functions that are similar
to R programming.
Windows PowerShell Code
Editor
The code editor of Windows 11
provides a code preview feature. For example, Microsoft’s Azure Stack can be
created using PowerShell. This code comes with Visual Studio Code where you can
write complex code in front of the console.
Windows Powershell DLL
