With Restore Apps enabled (as an optional feature), users will be able to seamlessly transfer their apps, desktop icons, layout, and pinned apps on the taskbar to a fresh installation of Windows 11. This streamlined migration process aims to minimize the hassle and effort involved in setting up a new PC.
However, there are a couple of caveats to keep in mind. Restore Apps currently only preserves applications that have been installed from the Microsoft Store. Other software or apps outside of the Microsoft Store will need to be manually reinstalled. Additionally, to take full advantage of this feature, users will need to sign in with a Microsoft Account during the Windows 11 installation, rather than using a local account.
