Bold is from the original, italics are mine. Chess (talk) (please useWikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist of only product announcement information and rumors are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable.

General availability | Suggested to be sometime in 2024 |
Preceded by | Windows 11 (2021) |
Windows 12 will be a major release of the Windows NT operating system by Microsoft. While Microsoft have not officially made any announcements, rumors predict that Windows 12 will come sometime in 2024 as it is believed Microsoft is returning to the 3-year release lifecycle of Windows.[1][unreliable source?]
At the Microsoft Ignite conference in 2022, a laptop was seen briefly with a new and never-seen before Windows UI with a floating taskbar, date, time and search bar at the top of the screen, and weather also at the top. This is believed to be the new Windows 12 UI.[2]
At the Build 2023 developer conference, Microsoft gave further hints, revealing a session by Panos Panay titled: The next generation of Windows.[3]
Windows 12 will most likely have Cortana, Microsoft's personal productivity assistant that helps users save time and focus on what matters most.[4] Cortana is already available in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and Microsoft has not announced any plans to remove or replace it in Windows 12. However, Cortana may undergo some changes or improvements in Windows 12, such as new features, integrations, or design.[5][better source needed] Cortana can be accessed by selecting the Cortana icon on the taskbar, or by saying "Hey Cortana".
Windows 12 will most likely have Bing as the default search engine and chat assistant. Bing can be accessed by selecting the Search icon or the Search bar on the taskbar, or by saying "Hey Bing".[6]
Windows 12 will have similar SKUs to Windows 10 and Windows 11, with some minor changes. According to sources[7][8], the SKUs for Windows 12 will be:
Microsoft will also introduce a new SKU for Windows 12, called Windows 365. This will be a subscription-based service that will allow users to access a cloud-based version of Windows 12 from any device.[9]
Windows Subsystem for Linux and Windows Mixed Reality may only be available on x86 and x64 CPUs.[13][14] In addition, Hyper-V and Windows Sandbox may only be available on x64 CPUs.[10][15]
Windows 12 will most likely follow the same pricing as Windows 11, which means it will be a one-time purchase of $139 for Windows 12 Home and $199 for Windows 12 Pro. Microsoft has not indicated any plans to change its pricing strategy for Windows.[16]
