Move the Taskbar Windows 11 PC

By default, Windows 11 places the Taskbar and Start button on the bottom center of the screen. Also, it’s possible to move it over to the bottom-left, Many users prefer to put it on the top or even on the left or right side. Unfortunately, unlike Windows 10, there’s no option to change the taskbar location, at least on the initial Insider preview builds. Some users would be shocked to know that they won’t be able to move the taskbar at all in Windows 11. But with a simple registry tweak or two, you can place it on top of the screen. Here’s how to do it.
