The meteoric development of artificial intelligence is transforming the way we use our PCs. The implementation of this technology in Windows 11 was crucial in this sense, because it opens up a new world full of possibilities and turned the mentioned operating system into such an important evolution that it could perfectly become Windows 12.

Those of you who read us regularly already know that finally Microsoft decided to launch the 24H2 update for Windows 11 and completely switch from Windows 12. It was a decision that caused quite a lot of controversy and which we explained in detail in this article at the time, but we failed to delve into a very important question that also explains why the Redmond giant would decide to delay the launch of the said system.

A little context is needed for better understanding. The announcement of Intel Lunar Lake and the Ryzen AI 300 APU will allow us to enter the the second major phase of AI in the general consumer market, a stage that is also marked by the arrival of Copilot+ and local artificial intelligence, technologies that will also work in ultralight notebooks that are based on a hardware configuration much more focused on efficiency and mobility.

Microsoft could inaugurate this second phase of AI in a big way with the announcement of Windows 12 and could change the said operating system in the grand standard of next-generation artificial intelligence, but he preferred not to. It’s clear that the time was not ideal for this move, because as we already know, Windows 10 still has a lot of weight in the market and Windows 11 still has a long life ahead of it, but we still lacked somethingand that is clear now.

Windows 11 will close the early stage of AI, and Windows 12 could open a much bigger and more important stage

As I said, we’re in a new phase where we’ll finally be able to enjoy AI locally, a reality that Windows 11 will enhance through technologies like Copilot+, as well as other advancements like Automatic super resolutionwhich will use the NPU to enable intelligent scaling that will improve gaming performance, although this will be limited to ARM SoCs like the Snapdragon X Elite for now.

At its current level, AI has opened the door to much more convenient, efficient and immersive collaboration. It also revolutionized content creation and editing.it has changed the way we play, improved performance and enabled the integration of sophisticated technologies such as ray tracing, enabled the creation of truly intelligent assistants, and increased productivity to impressive levels.

This phase we are in means a clear transformation that allows us to do this do more things with our computer and work with it on a different level, but the truth is that the big AI revolution in the mainstream consumer market is yet to come. Microsoft is aware of this and will most likely reserve the launch of Windows 12 for when this revolution occurs, which could occur with the entry into the third phase of AI applied to consumer PCs.

The development of more powerful and efficient APUs, the evolution of LLM and the introduction of new functions and features will take us to that third phase, but what can we expect from it? I am confident that he will stand out greater independence and automation of AI at the functional level, and also for a greater degree of interactivity between him and the user, so that he is no longer the one who has to constantly address him directly, nor the one who has to constantly give instructions.

Thanks to AI, we can turn a simple sketch of a four-year-old child into a professional-quality drawing.

I will explain it to you with a few examples. Imagine that you are facing an important project. The artificial intelligence of this third stage may be capable automatically identifies this situation and offers you direct assistance, without having to ask them. Another very interesting example can be, for example, AI, which is able to see in real time everything we do with our PC and offer us help or solutions that may be interesting.

An artificial intelligence with this level of independence and with these capabilities I would need a whole new operating system, which should be thoroughly optimized for it. Hardware would also be important, and in this sense I believe that the third generation of NPUs with a performance greater than 100 TOP will be the central pillar that will make all this possible.

We still have a long way to go, but Windows 10 won’t be with us

End of support for Windows 10 is marked for October 2025, but the truth is that the mentioned operating system is already starting to leave and its end is becoming more and more evident. Ryzen AI 300 APUs will not have support on the listed OS and Windows 10 will be left out entirely a next-generation artificial intelligence race, which will no doubt ultimately help Windows 11 improve its market share.

The beginnings of AI in the PC sector were modest and driven primarily by the cloud. We are now making the leap to local execution with a much more ambitious and interesting model that includes valuable features and features and The following leaps will allow us to enjoy a much more advanced AI in our computers with functions and capabilities that would have seemed practically impossible just a few years ago.

The possibilities are endless. Imagine an AI so advanced that it is that will teach you how to use your new computerand it can also help you solve problems at the software and hardware level, including everything from minor errors to incompatibilities or even blue screens and freezes that only big experts could solve.

The future of artificial intelligence looks bright and on all levels. Beginnings are never easy But you know how it is, we always have to start from humble hardware and an ecosystem of small software and applications that grow and improve step by step until they become what they promised us. We are still in the early stages, but advanced enough to realize the impressive potential that AI has.
