In the Windows 11 Canary Build 26040 preview update released by Microsoft, a new round of changes has been made to the Windows Setup installation experience.
Since the Windows Vista system, the installation interface has hardly changed much, and over time, it has become slightly outdated. This situation has changed in the image update of Windows 11 Canary Build 26040 preview version. This time the old “Install Now” interface with a purple background has been replaced by a new black and white interface. This change may be small, but the visual effect it brings is huge and makes people feel completely new.
Also, after the first reboot, the Getting ready screen has been replaced with this, so yeah it’s more like the upgrade experience now. pic.twitter.com/teU31D6Nec

In the new installation experience, you will first enter the language interface, which will prompt you to select the language, region and input method in a guided manner. At the same time, you will also be directed to the new settings interface, which contains a series of options: install Windows 11, repair my computer, or start the traditional experience. If you need to return to the old settings interface for some reason, you can select “Start traditional experience.”
In addition, the new settings interface cleverly integrates the user prompt function. When you select “Install Windows 11”, the system will inform you that “all content will be deleted”, allowing you to think carefully before operating. This is undoubtedly a security-oriented First change.
In the new experience, the product key step is retained at the same time, and the “I don’t have a product key” option still exists. The only change is the newly designed user interface, which is simple, clear, and easy to understand. In addition, the version selection screen and partition selection interface still have a new look. Although the interface has been updated, all the traditional options are still there. You can choose where to install Windows 11, refresh the partition list, load drivers, create, format, extend and delete partitions.
At the last step of the installation screen, users can click the “Next” button and Microsoft will prompt you to review your choices, but at this time, you may notice a device compatibility prompt. However, the unsatisfactory part of this user experience is that clicking “Check Device Specifications” will not go directly to your computer specifications, but will jump to a universal link on the official Windows 11 website. This is not useful for users who are installing Windows. Said that the helpfulness of the information is really limited.
Finally, when you try to install Windows 11 on hardware that does not meet the device specifications, the new experience will prompt you, but unfortunately no specific hardware information is given, which makes people feel a little helpless.
