It’s not the first time we’ve told you that Windows 12 will be Windows 11 24H2. Already at that time we told you that the rumors that pointed to the launch of this new operating system at the end of 2024 they could be wrongand that they would actually be pointing to the Windows 11 Anniversary Update, information that was once again reinforced by a trusted source.

According to Windows Central, no new Microsoft operating system will launch this year and Windows 12 will be Windows 11 24H2. It seems that this Windows 11 update It’s going to be so important and it’s going to be betting so much on AI Therefore, some sources decided to label it as a new operating system, and in a logical numbering order, the name Windows 12 began to be used.

We must also consider that with the recent departure of Panos Panay, who left Microsoft last September, the idea of ​​the Redmond giant to launch a new operating system in the short or medium term it doesn’t make much sense. He was the main person responsible for Windows 11, and we have no evidence that Microsoft has found someone to replace him who is capable of taking responsibility for something as big and important as Windows 12.

Given that Microsoft has bet on the operating system as a service model, it is clear that the company it has room to maneuver. For now, you can limit yourself to running updates to improve Windows 11 and delay the launch of Windows 12 indefinitely. And speaking of updates, Windows 11 24H2 will be an important update of the mentioned operating system and will introduce the following news, among others:

• Full integration of Copilot in Windows 11. We can configure it to load at startup.
• The version of Copilot that will use this update will be much more advanced, both in terms of integration and features.
• Improved launch of various applications and windows in split screen.
• New features in File Explorer to make our lives easier.
• New quick settings panel.
• Improvements to Phone Link, which will allow us to use a smartphone as a webcam, for example.
• A new power saving mode that can be used on both laptop and desktop.
• Other interface level changes and user experience improvements.

At this point you are very likely wondering what will happen to Windows 12 and the answer is very simple, we have Windows 11 for a while. We should not expect the launch of this new version of the well-known Microsoft operating system for at least a few years. This is logical because Windows 11 is barely two years old and it doesn’t make sense to think about a successor so soon, much less with Windows 10 still on the market.
