THREE SIMPLE STEPS
How to use the Windows 11 simulator
Open apps and windows
Use the Start button or the taskbar. Drag windows by the title bar, snap them to the edges, and hover the maximize button for snap layouts.
Save, present or prank
Your files stay in the browser. Take a PNG screenshot, go full screen, or switch to Prank mode for a fake update screen.
WHAT IS INSIDE
Apps you can really use
Every app works and saves to the simulator's own virtual disk in your browser.
Files
Folders for Desktop, Documents, Pictures and Downloads. Create, rename, cut, copy, paste and drag to move. Add files from your computer and download them again.
Notes
A plain-text editor that saves as you type, with word wrap, text size and word count.
Paint
Brush, eraser, colours and sizes with undo. Save drawings to Pictures or export a PNG.
Terminal
A small shell with ls, cd, cat, mkdir, touch, rm, echo, date, whoami, history and tab completion.
Calculator and Clock
A standard calculator that works with the keyboard, plus a clock, countdown timer and stopwatch.
Photos, Web, Settings and Trash
View and zoom pictures, read the built-in help pages, change theme, accent and wallpaper, and restore deleted items.
GOOD TO KNOW
Tips for the Windows 11 simulator
Shortcuts and ideas to get more out of the desktop.
Snap windows quickly
Drag a window to the left or right edge for half the screen, to a corner for a quarter, or to the top to maximize. Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys do the same.
Switch between windows
Hold Alt and press ` (the key above Tab) to step through open windows, one after another. Release Alt to pick one.
Make clean mockups
Arrange windows, pick a wallpaper and theme, then press Screenshot for a PNG of the whole desktop.
Present in full screen
Full screen hides the browser around the desktop, great for demos and classes. Press Esc to come back.
Keep your files
The virtual disk is saved in this browser. Settings › Storage saves it as one file you can open again anywhere.
Prank responsibly
Prank mode starts only when you press Start, and Esc always ends it, so the joke is easy to undo.

Windows 11 simulator FAQ
What is a Windows 11 simulator?
It is a web page that looks and works like a Windows 11 style desktop: a taskbar, start menu, windows you can move and snap, and apps you can use. Everything runs in your browser tab, so you can try the layout without installing anything.
Is this Windows 11 simulator free?
Yes. It is free to use with no sign-up and no download. Open the page and the desktop starts in a few seconds.
Can I use it as a fake Windows update prank?
Yes. Open Prank mode, choose Fake update and how long it should run, and press Start. A full-screen update screen with a slowly rising percentage appears. Press Esc to leave at any time.
Are my files saved?
Yes, in your own browser. Notes, drawings and files you add are kept on a virtual disk that stays on your device, and you can save the whole disk as one file and open it again later.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes. On a small screen the desktop shows one app at a time, full size, and you can switch between them from the taskbar. Touch works for dragging windows and drawing in Paint.
Which apps are included?
Files, Notes, Calculator, Terminal, Paint, Clock with timer and stopwatch, Photos, Settings, a Web window with built-in help pages, and a Trash you can restore from.
