In windows 11 UI is significantly more improved and polished for example now corners of windows are rounded and start button+taskbar icons are moved to center that feels more like MacOS or ChromeOS however you can change them back to left if you want. there are many other changes as well that you can experience if you try out windows 11 in your computer.

one of the best features of windows 11 is that it brings the support to the android applications. that means you can run android apps to in your computer. though it is available in only beta insider program yet.
while it is the windows 11 exclusive feature and will not be available in windows 10 because windows 11 uses a different subsystem for android.
Updates
Microsoft claimed that windows 11 will receive annual updates like MacOS instead of windows 10 that was receiving new updates every six months. According to them windows 10 will still receive updates until 2025. but it is not sure that they will continue semi-year update system or not.
Security
As being tha latest OS Windows 11 is more secure and likely to be receiving more security updates as well. So if you want a latest and secure OS, and your system also meets the requirements to run windows 11 than I suggest you to go ahead and try it out,
