Microsoft rolled out Windows 11 last year which is already available for most of the supported systems. Now, it is being said that the company has already started working on the launch of Windows 12. The Windows has been possibly named Next Valley. In a parallel piece of information, the Windows 11 23H2 version has been stopped and all the focus has been shifted to Windows 12. According to the leaks, Microsoft will first roll out Windows 11 22H2 in September or October 2022. Microsoft will be following a 3-year release cycle for the Windows operating system. So, considering that Windows 11 was launched in 2021, we can expect to see Windows 12 in 2022’s fourth quarter.

Expected features in Windows 12?
Microsoft has not confirmed anything regarding the features of the upcoming Windows. Still, the company can be seen testing different features in the Dev channel. We can get to see a different kind of taskbar in Windows 12. On top of that, Microsoft is also testing the notification badges for the weather widget. Not only this, but the latest version will also have the ability to copy a phone number, time, and date. We can also get to see some of the mentioned features in the upcoming Windows 11 update too.

Well, we can’t comment on the fact whether Windows 12 will be available for free or not. We can expect that all the PCs that are eligible for Windows 12 will get the option to install it, similar to the way we got to see in the case of Windows 11. On the other hand, you would be supposed to pay for the retail license if you want to run on Windows 12 on a custom-built PC.

Foldables are big right now, but the word is currently associated with smartphones. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold are a big reason for this, although the likes of Xiaomi, Oppo and Huawei have all made devices of their own. Even Microsoft got in on the act with the Surface Duo, albeit with a dual-screen design instead of a single screen that folds in half. It was first announced back in October 2019 alongside the Surface Neo, a larger version running Windows 10X. The latter has since been cancelled, but Microsoft is surely still considering a foldable Surface device that can be both a tablet and a laptop. With Windows 12 rumoured to be released in 2024, it could be the perfect opportunity. Here are four big reasons why.

1. Windows 12 is probably two years away…
Given Windows 11 was only released last October, it’s no surprise that its successor isn’t expected anytime soon. However, it probably won’t be anything like the six-year gap between Windows 10 and 11. Last month, a Windows Central report claimed that Microsoft was shifting to a three-year update cycle for major versions of Windows. If true, it would mean a potential Windows 12 arrives at some point in 2024. Given the current state of the hybrid market, releasing a new foldable device would be a huge risk for Microsoft. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold and Asus’ Zenbook 17 Fold OLED are extremely expensive and don’t yet make a compelling enough case to replace your laptop and tablet. Two years from now, the situation may have changed significantly.

A Windows 11 successor is seemingly on the cards, as Microsoft has apparently canned a major update and plans to release Windows 12 in 2024 Windows 11 is fresh on the scene, but Microsoft is apparently planning to release Windows 12 in 2024. The company has also allegedly cancelled its next big Windows update, known as Sun Valley 3, in an effort to prepare for its next big operating system release. According to Windows Central, Microsoft is switching back to its old three-year release date rhythm, meaning a Windows 11 successor could arrive soon. Dubbed “next valley”, insiders say the company’s next major operating system should arrive in 2024, while planned Sun Valley 3 features will now be included as part of the upcoming Sun Valley 2 update.

It’s not clear whether the next major release will arrive with a Windows 12 title, especially if it pulls another ‘seven ate nine’ gag like with Windows 10. As you’d perhaps expect, the OS is also very early on in development, so it’ll be a while before we get a sniff at potential features.

If you’re a fan of Windows 11, news of a successor might come as a sombre surprise. However, an additional change in update practices means the operating system could gain new features every few months, meaning it’ll potentially burn bright before it hands over its keys.

In terms of market share, Windows 10 still wears the operating system crown, but Windows 11 is slowly taking over the reins. Whether or not it’ll completely take over before 2024 remains to be seen, but gaming PC features like auto HDR and DirectStorage should help tempt more users to make the jump.
