From MakeUseOf:

A software developer by the name of BlueEdge has developed an
interactive website
https://win11.blueedge.me/
that allows Windows 11 to run in a browser. Simply visit the website, and when prompted to type in a login password, just press Enter to begin exploring Windows 11.

Unfortunately, the website only offers a demo of the basic features Microsoft has offered in Windows 11. The interactive website supports a few apps such as the Edge browser, Notepad, Terminal, Spotify, VScode, and the revamped Microsoft Store. You can also check out the Start Menu and Search interface, even if it's not entirely functional.

It is important to note that this Windows 11 mock-up is available through your web browser, without any installation of any kind. This is not a virtual machine, and it is essentially developed to get you a decent idea about what Windows 11 will be like.
BlueEdge has developed the website on the React platform and has licensed it with Creative Commons. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft will strike down BlueEdge’s website for copyright infringement. Either way, BlueEdge plans to add more features to the Windows 11 demo website; these include the redesigned File Explorer and maybe even the Settings app.

I'm trying to get an idea of which browser is most popular with screen reader users, and how many of them take advantage of accessibility settings such as reader mode, font preferences, etc.

Of course, WebAIM is the place to go for all things related to accessibility, so here is the results of their 2019 survey

The Freedom Scientific blog has a new post about using Jaws with the new Microsoft Edge browser

The article answers some questions, along with providing tips for making the transition.

More info about exact dates when Microsft will stop supporting IE from the following article
https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/17/21372487/microsoft-internet-explorer-11-support-end-365-legacy-edge#content
Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer 11 across its Microsoft 365 apps and services next year. In exactly a year, on August 17th, 2021, Internet Explorer 11 will no longer be supported for Microsoft’s online services like Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook, and more. Microsoft is also ending support for Internet Explorer 11 with the Microsoft Teams web app later this year, with support ending on November 30th.
Meanwhile, there is the
new Internet Explorer legacy mode
