You Can Do Just About Any Conversion with the Windows 11 Calculator\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you live in the USA as we do, you find yourself doing a lot of conversions, because the rest of the world (or most of it) does not measure things the way we do. Now I could be ethnocentric and try to convince the world they\u2019re wrong and we\u2019re right, but that\u2019s getting harder and harder to do. So, I won\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re using Windows 11 and find yourself heading off to Google or some conversion site to convert things, let me tell you that you can convert almost anything you like without leaving Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

The calculator in Windows 11 can do a myriad of conversions with a minimum of effort. However, you\u2019ll be thrilled to know that I\u2019m not going to go through the entire range of conversions that the Windows calculator can do \u2013 it can do many. But I am going to give you a few examples, so I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ll be heading for the calculator if you have things you want to convert.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, open the Calculator.\u00a0 Just type CALC in the taskbar\/Start menu search and press Enter when Calculator appears in the search results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doing Conversions with the Windows 11 Calculator<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After you open the Calculator, click on the menu icon (the 4 horizontal bars) and you\u2019ll see the \u201cConverter\u201d header with a list of conversions such as Currency, Volume, Length, etc. that you can do with the Windows 11 Calculator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a few examples<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some conversions I did while playing around with the calculator this morning:<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning, my Canadian friends, I found that $100 U.S. dollars equals $129.57 Canadian dollars. But your money is prettier!<\/span><\/p>\n

Converting temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is a snap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Megabits? Megabytes? What’s your download speed?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an interesting one. If you go to www.fast.com<\/a> and test your speed, it will be in megabits per second. So, if you see your download speed is 200Mbps that does not mean you\u2019re downloading at 200 megabytes per second, it means you\u2019re downloading at 25 megabytes per second. The small b in Mbps indicates “bits” and a capital B in MBps indicates Bytes, or at least that’s what EB tells me \ud83d\ude42 And the Windows 11 Calculator sorts all this out for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

But wait your Windows 11 Calculator can much more than the examples you see here, I tells ya!<\/span><\/p>\n

You can convert volume, length, weight & mass, energy, area, speed, time, power, pressure, and angle\u00a0 – all using the Windows 11 calculator.<\/span><\/p>\n
