Only at 6 minutes and already inspired to comment and say you're awesome Kevin! Just got a new laptop with Windows 11 and loving the experience even more with your tips. Keep creating more awesome content and thank you!

Thanks Kevin! I really enjoyed your explanations. One of my favorite features of Windows 11 is that you can connect your smartphone with your laptop. When you press the windows key and type in smartphone, it will appear. If you're in the same Wifi Network, you can connect and see messages, photos and notifications! Awesome 😍😍😍

This video is truly informative. Your videos are really comprehensive so that we don't need to search for various small things ridiculously on the web. Keep up the good work!

Wow! What a great list, Kevin! There are several features here that I'll start using. Thank you so much!

The Sandbox and the Quick assist features are ones I didn't know about. They will be very useful now. Thank you!

I downloaded a lot of your video tutorials because they are very helpful, useful and effective. Now am using them and I regretted why I have known your channel so late.

You're a saviour and a gift. Thank you so much!

For the night light, you can add it to the Action Menu (Win + A) so that you will not go into settings.

Honestly, I'm not here for information on windows, I just like watching him because he amazes me on how clearly he explains the topic.
