Various reports have claimed that Microsoft would bring Windows 12 in the next two years, supposedly in 2024. Microsoft Windows 12 will reportedly replace the current version of Windows 11 around the world. Some speculations suggested it is connected to the major update ‘Sun Valley 3’ for Windows 11 but canceled its release.

However, XDA Developers reported that a newer version of Windows would eventually replace the current version after 3 years. It is noteworthy that Microsoft presented its latest version of Windows 11 in 2021. Its upcoming development cycle would supposedly show its new version of the operating system in 2024.

Windows 12 Would Reportedly Bring Key Updates

Windows Central said it is part of the Microsoft Windows roadmap to release the latest versions of the OS every 3 years. The tech giant has planned to update the world with its new release in 2024. Moreover, these versions would obviously experience a consequential release from the company. Keep in mind that Microsoft will bring some major updates in its upcoming versions.

The report mentioned other elements despite a Windows 12 speculated for the year 2024. Windows will supposedly not throw its OS 11 version, while it hasn’t experienced any development from the tech giant. Windows 11 will eventually receive its support from the company if Windows 12 is released in the next 2 years. Microsoft will develop OS 11 as the company phases it out like previous versions.

Windows 11 is Still the Latest OS of Microsoft

Meanwhile, the 2H22 is one of the most apparent versions of Windows 11. It offers the latest key update from Microsoft for its popular computer operating system to the tech world. Windows 11 is still the latest functional operating system Microsoft developed for Windows users around the world. It provides a chance for everyone to access their computers.

The Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise offered to some users that we’re unable to upgrade to Windows 11 to run systems. The point to be noted is that it provides a stable version of the previous OS for all Windows users. The latest version offers an option to give users access to a former version of Windows without the essential updates. Now, the company would replace the OS with Windows 12 in 2024.

Microsoft Previously Released OS After Every 3 Years

However, Windows 12 will be released 3 years after its first release in 2021. Microsoft didn’t guarantee Windows 12 but some speculations pointed to its significant enhancements for the future version. Windows Central pointed out that the tech giant has planned to move from the current one feature per year release. The company will supposedly release updates after every 3 years.

However, it seems like a step back after Microsoft planned to release constant feature updates. These newly added features include supported versions of Windows multiple times a year. The new plan looks like Microsoft’s entirely reversal move regarding the release cycles. It is noteworthy that Windows 10 was announced 3 years after the release of Windows 8.

Windows Vista, 7 & 8 Operating Systems

Moreover, Windows 8 was announced 3 years after the release of the most popular Windows 7. But Windows 7 was announced just 2 years after the release of the Windows Vista OS version. The release of Windows 10 eventually changed the scenario significantly. Microsoft will now reportedly change the release cycle again to 3 years.

It is important that the next key update for Windows 11 is expected to be released in 2024. Windows 11 users will supposedly receive new feature updates from 2023. Windows Central also predicted that Microsoft would release new features to the existing OS 4 times per year. However, Microsoft released Windows installations directly such as Taskbar Weather Icon as part of a major feature update.
