Microsoft is gearing up for the release of Windows 11 23H2, the latest feature update for the Windows 11 operating system. However, there are many unconfirmed rumors that the company is readying a major update that could be labeled as Windows 12.
Windows 12 is expected to launch next year
The latest evidence of this update comes not from an anonymous source within Microsoft, but from a public quote from an Intel executive. Seeking Alpha has republished a transcript of an event at the Citi Global Technology Conference 2023 (PC Gamer). The transcript includes an interview with Intel CFO David Zinsner, according to Neowin.
"We actually think 2024 is going to be a pretty good year for customers, especially with the Windows refresh," said David Zinsner. "And we think the installed base is pretty old and needs a refresh. We think next year could be the start of that, with the Windows push. So we're optimistic about things going into 2024." The phrase "Windows refresh" almost certainly refers to the next major version of Microsoft's operating system, rather than just a feature update for Windows 11.
Microsoft has yet to publicly announce its plans for future Windows updates. However, Windows Central , citing unnamed sources, says that development on the next Windows operating system has "accelerated in recent months." The update is now fully developed and should be completed by mid-2024, according to Windows Central. That would put the fall of 2024 as a likely date for Windows 12.
