The next major version of Windows will likely be focused on new AI-powered features thanks to x86 chip advancements. Both Intel and Microsoft seem to be preparing for the as yet unannounced Windows 12. The hardware leaker @leaf_hobby, known for revealing the full specs of Intel’s Xeon chips before launch, has published details about Intel’s Meteor Lake desktop platform. Intel reportedly mentions internally that its next-gen CPUs will support Windows 12.
While the tweet has since been deleted, VideoCardz notes that Meteor Lake is expected to include 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes and support for Windows 12. We asked Intel to comment on the leak, but the company refused. Microsoft also declined to comment on the reports of Intel preparing to support Windows 12.
While Microsoft hasn’t announced any plans for Windows 12, there are already signs the company is looking to future versions of Windows to integrate AI-powered features. “As we start to develop future versions of Windows we’ll think about other places where AI should play a natural role in terms of the experience,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s head of consumer marketing, in an interview with The Verge earlier this year.
Mehdi was discussing the latest Windows 11 update that integrates the new AI-powered version of Bing into the taskbar. This update also includes AI-powered recommended content within the Start menu for business users. Microsoft is also reportedly working on AI-powered smart snapping features for Windows 11.

You can't download Windows 12 yet, but here's when you might be able to, and what features to expect. Windows 12 is a potential future update for the Windows operating system. It's expected to be released in 2024, although there has been no official confirmation from Microsoft. Some possible features for this Windows 11 successor include UI enhancements, better Android app support, AI, and an increased reliance on the Settings app.
When Will Windows 12 Be Released?
I should start by saying that I can't verify yet that Windows 12 is even real. It's not that there's a good chance Microsoft will pull a Windows 9 move and skip over this version to land on W13—it's just that neither I, nor anyone, has heard anything official from the company. That said, I do think it's coming. It's just not clear when. On that note, Windows 12 might not even be the name Microsoft settles on (think XP and Vista), but let's stick to that for now. The code names I've seen for this version of Windows include Hudson Valley and Next Valley. There is one rumor that points to an upgraded OS. Tom's Hardware spotted a mention by the German website Deskmodder.de that Microsoft would begin working on Windows 12. Remarkably, that was in early 2022, less than six months after Windows 11 was first available to the public! I can't comment on the reliability of that source, but whether this version is being actively developed or not, Windows 12 won't arrive for a while longer, considering how close we still are to the Windows 11 launch. Looking back at the last several major Windows versions, there isn't really a consistent timeline one can use to gauge when Windows 12 will come. But, we can still guess.
