I've heard that there is this computer called Windows 12. But it wasn't from Microsoft. So... What is it?

If anyone knows the answer, please reply below.

Thanks!

    Hi CCA_GH

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Microsoft are currently working on a new version of Windows 11, they have no intention of releasing a version of Windows 12, it is just an Internet myth.

    If they are gong to create a Windows 12 operating system, they have not mentioned that anywhere, and that will be years away, because Windows 11 will be around for at least 5 years.

    First, note that computers are not called Windows anything. I think you mean that there is an operating system called Windows 12.

    If there is, it's fraudulent. Windows 11 is the current version of Windows. There is no official 12. If you find such an operating system, stay far away from it. Running an unofficial version of Windows is very risky.

    Will there ever be an official Windows 12. Nobody knows for sure. When Microsoft releases the next version, who knows what they will call it?

    Back in 2019 virtually the same qustion was asked ... and the answer was similar. Back then, the answer was Win 10 is what MS has and they will update it forever, but it will always be Win 10. (Clearly, I'm paraphrasing here.)

    Fast forward to 2021/22 and we now have Win 11, with rumors again being denied about a future Win 12. If anyone out there truly believes there will never be a Win 12 (or whatever MS chooses to call it) after Win 11 is naive in the extreem. History has proven that MS will, periodically, come out with a new OS that obsolesces the old, and, by the way, obsolesces your old hardware. It's the nature of the beast!

    I'm not disputing the "official" response here ... that there is currently no Win 12 planned for near future release. I'm only saying that it WILL come, someday, and it WILL make obsolete the computer I will have to acquire to run Win 11 just as Win 11 is making my current Win 10 capable computer "obsolete."

    I suppose it is time for me to build a new Win 11 compliant machine. After all, my old Win 10 compliant machine, though I over-built it at the time and it still performs magnificantly (for my purposes) is about 8 years old. I just wish MS would STOP making my hardware obsolete!
