Try Windows 11 in Your Browser: A Full‑Featured React Clone
This article introduces a React‑based recreation of Windows 11’s user interface, detailing its features, technology stack, and how developers can experience the new OS look without reinstalling, along with links to the source code and live demo.
Microsoft released Windows 11 in late June and opened it to Insider testing, but reinstalling the OS to try the new interface can be cumbersome.
To let users explore the Windows 11 UI without reinstalling, developer blueedgetechno created a high‑fidelity clone using React. The project reproduces the start menu, search, widgets, desktop right‑click actions, side navigation, calendar, browser, Microsoft Store, terminal, calculator, Notepad, VS Code, whiteboard, and more, with additional features such as file explorer and window resizing still in progress.
Technology Stack
Framework – React (^17.0.2) with Redux
Component/UI library – none used
Styling – SCSS and CSS Modules (Tailwind)
Icons – Font Awesome
Project repository: https://github.com/blueedgetechno/windows11 Live demo: https://win11.blueedge.me/ For users interested in Windows 11 but unable to reinstall the OS, this React‑based clone offers a convenient way to try the new interface.
