Windows 12 in 2024? Microsoft Reportedly Changes OS Release Schedule

[HDTV1080P]

This will be very cool if Microsoft starts offering a new Windows operating system every 3 years just like Microsoft Office is offered every 3 years. So maybe by 2024 Windows 12 will be released. This means I would skip Windows 11 installation and go with Windows 12 in 2024+. For any new Windows operating system like Windows 11 or 12, one needs to build a new PC that meets the minimum security requirements. Once that is done in theory it would be another 10+ years before a new PC would need to be built. Every 3 years one could install the latest Windows operating system until one day a new PC is needed in 10+ years. Of course Windows 12 could possible get delayed one or two years. But it is possible Windows 12 will become a reality sometime in 2024-2026 time frame right before official support ends for Windows security updates for Windows 10.

I actually like Windows coming out with a new operating system every 3 years. Maybe one day Microsoft will develop a 128 bit operating system that requires 128 bit CPU’s.

Select quotes from article:

“Microsoft is reportedly returning to its old scheme of one major Windows release every three years and new features in the interim, which could mean Windows 12 is on the horizon for 2024.”

“Redmond now plans to “ship 'major' versions of the Windows client every three years, with the next release currently scheduled for 2024, three years after Windows 11 shipped in 2021,” according to Windows Central's Zac Bowden(Opens in a new window), who has an excellent track record when it comes to these things.”
