Do we need a Windows 12? Microsoft could launch it in 2024

Windows 11 hit the market late last year, and Windows 10 will continue to be officially supported until October 2025. With these two things in mind, the last thing that would come to mind would be to think that Microsoft could launch a new operating system, but according to trusted sources it seems that the Redmond giant is already working on Windows 12, and that it could reach the market. sooner than we could have imagined.

According to the source of this information, Microsoft wants to release a new major version of Windows every three years, while it will continue to offer minor updates to existing versions, and these will arrive more frequently, at least in theory. This may seem new to us and it may be a curious change of strategy, but the truth is that it is an approach that Microsoft had already been following for years.

We can easily see it with some examples, Windows 7 hit the market just three years after Windows Vista was released, considered as one of the worst versions of Microsoft’s well-known operating system, and Windows 8 also hit the market three years after Windows 7. The same thing happened with Windows 10which landed in 2015. Windows 11 was the exception to the rule, but this could return with Windows 12, since its launch would take place in 2024, three years after the launch of Windows 11.

If you’re wondering what we can expect from Windows 12, I’m sorry to tell you that we still don’t know anything, but it’s still curious that a few years ago we were talking about Windows 10 as “the last Windows”, and that in the end Microsoft has decided to change fully focused and return to its origins. As I said we do not have official information, but I think that Windows 12 will be an operating system continuous in many respectswhich will not introduce major changes compared to Windows 11, and could have similar hardware requirements.

On the subject of whether we really need a Windows 12, it is clear that everyone will have their opinion, but from a sensible and reasoned perspective I think notand I also think there is no point in going back to a three-year OS refresh cycle when we can achieve the same thing under the current OS-as-a-Service model.
