<p>From a conversation with Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft, on the day of Windows 11 announcement on CNBC, Yusuf stated Windows 11 has the inbuilt capability to send/receive SMS directly through Teams (without the need of a phone).</p>
<p>According to the master of all things Lumia/WoA, Gustave Monce (@gus33000), in relation to Lumia 950 XL running WoA 11, "<em>the component responsible for handling calls is not part of Windows 11. We lift it straight from Windows Phone with bridge components so it kinda works on here</em>".</p><p><br></p><p>So WoA 11 cannot do voice calls out-of-the-box.</p><p><br></p><p>If my memory serves me well, Microsoft removed the internals of the voice capability is some build during 2019. It would appear from @gus33000 that the voice component is absent in Windows 11.</p>
<p>What is interesting about Windows 11 performance on iOS things like limos 950 or low powered things like raspberry pi and in preview channel lots of old PC – is the 8th gen Intel requirement isn’t about windows 11 performance. Windows 10 was so brilliant running at old hardware even better than windows 7 did. Why this push to keep it of old machines if it isn’t about performance?</p>
