Windows 10: Moving the taskbar left side, Windows 11

Hi.I would like to move my taskbar to the left side of the screen in Windows 11. The taskbar is better placed on the left side of the screen than at the bottom because it takes up less space. Vertical space is more expendable than horizontal space as we have more of it on standard landscape monitor setups. I am used to having the taskbar on the left side.I understand it is not possible now to have the taskbar on the left side in Windows 11. Is that true? Will support for left side taskbars be added later?RegardsEdit: I want to move the whole taskbar to the left side of the screen, not change t

:)

Hi Kim,

You can customize your taskbar to pin your favorite apps to it, move it to where you want to display on your screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open. To address your question, we suggest
that you follow these steps on how to move your taskbar to a different location on the screen:

• Open Settings and choose Personalization.
• Select Taskbar.
• Under Taskbar location on the screen, click the drop-down menu and select
  Bottom.
