According to a report from Windows Central, Microsoft is planning to release Windows 12 in after three years of Windows 11. Windows 12 is set to release in 2024 according to news report.
Microsoft is yet to hint at any changes to the current Windows strategy, but its official policy of annual Windows 11 feature updates hasn’t been entirely accurate. Several features were added in a February 2022 update, and a few monthly security updates have included new functionality. At the same time, the Windows Insider Program allows anyone to road-test new features ahead of time.
But will there really be enough updates to justify a major new version by 2024? Windows 11 was released six years after Windows 10, but there are still few changes under the surface. The same can be said for a potential Windows 13 in 2027 or Windows 14 in 2030, although Microsoft’s plans can always change.
Despite not having an official release date, we might still expect the release of Windows 12 between April and October 2022. However, some rumours suggested that the Microsoft Windows 12 will be launched earlier, unlike previous updates. That’s to say, we might see the launch of Windows 12 in July 2022. This is just speculation as the official date is yet to be released by Microsoft.
The device who does not meet the Windows 11 requirements, will be certainly not compatible with Windows 12.
Kindly note that if your device does not meet the Windows 11 requirements, then it’ll certainly not be compatible with Windows 12.
