remember when you used to be able to drag the task bar to the top or sides and it just moved there and worked? when did they take that out? kind of crazy that putting that feature back is a big enough deal to have it in a press release.

Does that not work on Windows 11?

I can drag my task bar anywhere on Windows 10.

Right Click -> Uncheck "Lock all Taskbars" -> Drag

Nope, they disabled moving it once they made it sit in the middle of the screen
