When will Windows 12 be released?

I think they’ve moved away from those big releases. They’ll probably just keep pushing smaller updates to Windows 11 over the next few years and only release a new OS if there’s actually a big change in the underlying architecture.

What will almost definitely happen is a shift from a one-time license to a subscription. Once Windows 11 is fully established as a continuously updated product, it’ll likely become subscription-based, and at that point it doesn’t really make sense for them to release a new version if they can keep making money from the current one… at least that’s how I see it
