The hidden features in the Windows 11 calculator (conversion is the best 🤤)
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!
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.
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.
✨✨✨
Others posts in my Windows 11 series:
I never realized the converter handles so many categories beyond currency and length, and the point about not needing an external site is a real convenience. One thing I wonder about is how accurate the currency rates stay over time, since they update regularly but may not match live market values at any given moment. Do you find the date difference tool useful for tracking deadlines, or is it mostly a novelty compared to the other conversion modes?

The article provides a useful amount of detail while keeping the overall explanation straightforward. I came across joya 999 during my search, and the information here helped me explore the topic from a wider perspective. The clear presentation and natural writing make the discussion pleasant to read.
Wow, I didn’t know the Windows 11 calculator could do all those conversions – pretty handy! Speaking of handy tools, I often use Easy Drawings to sketch quick ideas while I work.
