Windows 12: Release Date and what we know TO DATE.

Microsoft has already revealed a prototype desktop redesign for Windows 12.

Microsoft hasn’t not announced Windows 12 or a release date for it as of February 2023. The 2024 date reflects Microsoft’s internal thoughts, and it’s easy to see how it could be pushed back or changed entirely. The operating system may not even be called “Windows 12” and may be called something else—after all, we were expecting Windows 9 after Windows 8, but Microsoft skipped right over Windows 9 and gave us Windows 10 instead.

What Will Windows 12’s Hardware Requirements: Very important information Why is it important ?

My predictions based on more than 30 plus years of experience with the operating system everyone loves to hate, mostly frustratingly hates.

Will the hardware requirements change for Windows 12?

I expect the next generation of Windows PCs to be a huge step up in performance, battery life, and manageability. Intel has every right to be nervous about what’s coming, as I noted earlier in this article. Qualcomm couldn’t deliver its SoCs in time for the fall 2023 cycle, but they will certainly be ready for Windows 12.

Qualcomm’s long-rumored Snapdragon Elite X chip was officially announced in October, and should be available by mid-2024, just in time for a Windows 12 debut. The company says its new chip can match the performance of Intel’s fastest laptop CPU while using nearly 70% less power.AMD and Nvidia are also reportedly working on Arm-based designs that will be ready in 2025.

The Snapdragon X Elite chip: the year we all get WARM?

Several veteran Windows watchers have speculated that Windows 12 will add a floating search bar and move some elements of the taskbar to the top of the screen, making the Windows experience more Mac-like. More than a year ago.

One of the core selling points of Windows through the years has been its relentless focus on backward compatibility with apps and services. I predict that won’t change in 2024.

I do, however, expect to see Microsoft ratchet up its security over older apps, which represent a perennial security threat to anyone who uses a Windows PC. The company has been quietly running virtual PCs in its own cloud, under the Windows 365 moniker, for several years. On local hardware, it’s invested a ton of resources in virtualizing core Windows functions so they’re less vulnerable to traditional attacks.

There is word that Microsoft plans to make Windows 12 compatible with Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake-S desktop processors out of the box, suggesting that devices with such CPUs might be the first to run Next Valley. However, there have been few details about Meteor Lake-S circulating, particularly not any connecting the component to Windows 12, according to Neowin.

most people buy Windows on a new PC and never pay Microsoft directly. I don’t expect that fact to change in the Windows 12 era, nor do I expect Microsoft to raise its prices in this economy.

Windows 12 more to come as this develops.
