Microsoft is still struggling to encourage its Windows 10 customers to upgrade to Windows 11. However, a new leak shows that the Redmond company is already working on Windows 12, which might be released next year, in 2024.
Rumors and reports suggesting the imminent entry of Windows 12 continue to trickle in. One of the most recent seems to come from a partnership between Microsoft and Intel. According to a now-deleted tweet from leaker and Windows enthusiast @leaf_hobby, Intel has listed Windows 12 as one of the supported operating systems for its Meteor Lake-S desktop chips, which would be released the same year as the new Microsoft OS we are talking regarding.
Here is the post regarding this case, which was saved by VideoCardz before being deleted:
If the release schedules of the chip and said OS align, it is important to note that there is still no firm confirmation from Microsoft on this subject. And while there are indeed reports of Microsoft moving to a three-year release cycle for major Windows client releases, such a plan is still subject to change.
Additionally, given the state of the current market share of Windows 11 versus Windows 10, said roadmap is subject to change by the company. According to the latest data from internet traffic analytics website StatCounter, Windows 11 has just 19.13% of the global market share of Windows desktop versions, while Windows 10 has a massive 73.25% share. . Nevertheless, a big change in these numbers might be expected in 2025, when Microsoft ends support for Windows 10. At that time, more users might adopt the new Windows 11 operating system, and this might also be a signal for Microsoft to introduce a major new version of Windows, Windows 12.
