Hi welcome to my series on how to start loving Windows 11 now that it's time for Windows 10 to say bye 👋🏻. Now we are past the 14th of October but there are lots of more Windows 11 features and functionality to explore 💗!


 

In my 11th blog post in my Windows 11 series I wanted to share hidden features in the built in calculator 🧮! So lets dive into what can you do with the calculator in Windows 11!

Calculator app with colorful math symbols on a gradient background. Text: "The Magic Calculator and Converter. Your Ideas Are Worth Pushing."

Where do you find it?

It's there pre-installed ready to use, just search for Calculator.

What can you do with the calculator in Windows 11?

As a default it might look a bit boring, bland, well just like a normal calculator.

Where to find the menu in the calculator

But if you move your eyes to the top left corner, you will notice the hamburger menu. There we find all the fun possibilities! When I write this blog post these are the available possibilities:


The calculator possibilities offer more standard calculation features as a standard calculator. We also get further deep dive with scientific mode, graphing, programming mode and data calculation where we can see differences between dates (today when I'm writing this blog post it was 80 days since Windows 10 went end of life!!).


Then we have the converter which offers so many possibilities to convert data 🤤🤤. I convert data quite often and not having to go to an external website is amazing. You can convert:


  • Currency, and the rates updates on a regular basis

  • Volume, perfect for when baking 👩🏻‍🍳

  • Length

  • Weight and mass

  • Temperature

  • Energy, such as joules and calories

  • Area

  • Speed

  • Time

  • Power

  • Data, I can't even comprehend how big a Yobibyte is 🤯

  • Pressure

  • Angle

My thoughts

In summary, the calculator is a lot more than just a normal calculator and at least for me the conversions are something I use very often.

The unit converter is the real MVP 🤤 — I've already used it to convert recipes and currency without opening a browser. Love that you're making Windows 11 feel fun instead of forced! Check out https://free-music-ai.com/funk-music-generator

The date calculation feature is one of those things that sounds boring until you actually need to count the days between two dates. https://geometryarrow1.io/

The date calculator is one of those small features you don’t think you need until you need it. @brat generator

I appreciate how this article keeps everything straightforward. Learning about Pikashow became much easier after reading it. The Pikashow APK information and Pikashow APK download instructions are both useful and well organized.
