Windows 12 Coming soon?

[Joe]

...since Microsoft announced that it will no longer support Windows 10 from late 2025 onwards

Will there be a Windows 12? or 11-1/2?

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.

Go straight to new 'puter when 12 comes out?

I dunno @The New Holliday

I just bought an OLD & Ancient 2019 Mac Pro for 10% of it's original sticker price. It can run Windows 11 & will probably be able to run Windows 12. So I'm probably good till the year 2030.

I think Windows 12 will be optimized to run on ARM processors like Apple Silicon Macs. Apple already supports an ARM version of Windows 11. So Macs will be able to run an ARM based Windows 12 too. That way you get a dual boot of essentially 2 computers for the price of 1

I might upgrade to an 'obsolete' Silicon Mac Studio in 5 years with an M5 chip which hasn't even come out onto the market yet. Today's or next years models should be cheaper by then. What you buy today is obsolete when it comes out in the stores so plan ahead eh? Everything has built in obsolescence now.
