Although this information isn’t official, a recent preview build of Windows 11 shipped with some hidden features for the Cloud PC service.Īside from the memory increase, it appears that Windows 12 will continue with the processor requirements as Windows 11, including a minimum of a dual-core 64-bit processor.
Cloud PC is a service from the company that allows companies to connect seamlessly to a virtual machine in the cloud. This will be more experimental than even the existing ‘Dev’ channel, and Microsoft says it’ll be used to “preview platform changes that require longer-lead time before getting release to customers”.One of the reasons for the hardware requirement change is to accommodate the “Cloud PC” service. Just a few days later, in March 2023, Microsoft launched a new fourth ‘Canary’ channel of the Windows Insider Program. That may just mean a future update, but a new major version would make a lot of sense. Then, in an interview with The Verge, Microsoft head of consumer marketing Yusuf Mehdi mentioned “develop future versions of Windows” in reference to AI features. We can’t verify how accurate this is, but the leaker in question deid reveal full Intel Xeon chip specs before they launched. In February 2023, reported on a since deleted tweet from leaker where the OS list for an upcoming Intel Meteor Lake desktop CPU apparently included Windows 12.
Both articles cite author Zac Bowden’s ‘sources’, but he has a strong track record for Windows news. A subsequent March 2023 article details some of the upgrades you can expect.
A July 2022 Windows Central article suggested a Windows 11 successor is in the works, although there’s no guarantee it’ll be known as Windows 12.
