The purpose of Microsoft offering the OS for free since Windows 8.1 is to monetize it through data collection and advertising. It is hoped that Microsoft will maintain the same system for Windows 12.Īmong the reasons I want to see this is the growing amount of data, Microsoft gathers on Windows users. Although Microsoft still sells Windows 11 licenses, Windows 10 users can upgrade for free. It should be a free upgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 12. Most custom PCs today will say that they are not supported by Windows 11 because of configuration problems. The next version of Windows may be handled more gracefully by Microsoft. The Windows 11 watermark continues appearing even on PCs appropriately configured for the OS. At the very least, I hope Microsoft will loosen Windows 12 installation restrictions if they want to raise the requirements again. The Windows 12 security system should be similar to that introduced in Windows 11, so upgrading is more accessible. This was an attempt by Microsoft to improve security within the Windows ecosystem by pairing modern security with a modern operating system.Īlthough it was annoying then, Microsoft has made great strides since the launch of Windows 11 (especially PC gamers, who felt the brunt of the TPM issue). Trusted Platform Module (TPM) installation and strict CPU requirements were criticized in Windows 11. So, Windows 12 will be released in 2024, but it’s too early to tell. Windows 12’s release date and its progress have yet to be announced.Īs for the release cadence, Zac Bowden reports on Windows Central that Microsoft is switching from biannual updates to three years. Nonetheless, users would benefit from knowing a more definitive release date for the new OS to make plans accordingly. Insider programs, which are incredibly popular, allow registered users to try out new features before they go public, and Windows 12 will follow the same path. It wouldn’t surprise me if that happened. Windows Update is the company’s method for rolling out updates, and it would be great to see the next OS version pop up simultaneously on everyone’s computer.
