Evidence has recently emerged confirming that Microsoft intends to launch Windows 12 as a paid service, according to a report issued by the Neowin website, with the presence of an INI file on the Windows Canary Channel platform that displays the upcoming changes to the Windows platform, as the file indicates the existence of a version of Windows 12 with a paid subscription, mentioning its type and status. . We currently have two versions of Windows 11; The regular Home version, and the prepaid Professional version that can be upgraded for free throughout the operating system support period. But it seems that Microsoft intends to change that with Windows 12 by replacing the upfront payment amount with a subscription that is paid periodically, with the available benefits varying according to the subscription amount. This may have an impact on the prices of computers with a pre-installed operating system. The manufacturers of these computers may reduce their prices slightly so that Microsoft will provide them with the operating system for free, while users will have to pay a subscription in order to enjoy the operating system or at least for additional benefits, including canceling ads. for example. Last year, expectations were that Windows 12 would be released in 2024. Microsoft also revealed a glimpse of the system at the Microsoft Ignite event, and recently it began offering artificial intelligence features alongside the subscription model for Microsoft 365 and OneDrive. Therefore, it is not unlikely that we will see Microsoft suspending access to its high-end services with the upcoming Windows system on paying a monthly or annual subscription, for example.
