Microsoft Plans Windows 12 for 2024

Microsoft is planning a speedy launch cycle for its next-generation Windows 12 operating system, with reports pointing to a 2024 release to market. This would give Windows 11 roughly 3 years as the company’s latest client OS. It could use a major release like Windows 12 to significantly change the user interface, introduce support for newer types of hardware, as well as newer APIs. At this point, Windows 12 hasn’t hit any of the public Insider release cycles, so there are no hints as to what direction the OS’s development is headed.
