Windows 12 as far as i know?
As per this thread created, i got some information about Windows 12, which is:
- Windows 12 is coming about late 2024 or early 2025.
- Windows 12 is possibly already show up on Canary Channel although it is not officially confirmed.
- Several news sources say that HP give a hint if around October 2024, the Windows 11 version 24H2 (or Windows 11 2024 Update) is released, while HP is keep silent about Windows 12, which is possibly Windows 12 will be delayed a bit later after Windows 11 24H2 released.
- System requirements for Windows 12 is definitely higher than Windows 11. Windows 12 still require TPM 2, Secure Boot support, and processor that capable to use hardware accelerated VBS properly, such as processor that released on 2018 and later. Windows 12 require minimum 8 GB of ram and possibly still same 64 GB disk space, while SSD is becoming a mandatory. Actually, Windows 12 require special hardware named NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for all features in Windows 12 is working properly, but since the NPU is still very expensive to acquire (or basically you need an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U at least), so these requirements should be optional.
- Information about whether Windows 12 will be a subscription based operating system or not is still unclear, but most speculation says that Windows 12 is not required to subscribe to use.
That's it from me. If you got any more further information about Windows 12, you can share here.
Thanks to XDA that give me a big overview about Windows 12.

I hope Win 12 or whatever they call the next version doesn't force you to use Onedrive without hectic prevention of such. That app does NOT work for my tastes

Are we not coming out of a Global Pandemic? It makes more sense that Microsoft will be "paying" and hiring people "just because..." Usually, the marketing team will grow to figure out this...Windows 12 is a boring name....

Nowadays microsoft is not looking towards E-waste.
Windows is most used os also better than other os
If your pc is older 2018 you can not even bypass the system requirements of Windows 12 like Windows11

I'll hang fire until Windows 12 R2 comes out to be safe. 🙂
- Little_JoeBronze ContributorBased on currently reveals it should be released on later next year instead of 2024.
- im_ebiCopper ContributorThere is a strong possibility that it is true, just like when they said that no version would come after the presentation of version 10, it did not arrive for three months, then version 11 came. Ignore the supporting words, all the news is right outside of Microsoft. But it is not known why he is so secretive. It is conservative, as if its operating system is better than iOS. He only cares about his own interests and does not care about the user at all.
- BrookesnoeIron ContributorThere is a long time around for Windows 11. Windows 11 for ARM is more practical!
