@Little_JoeGot some information, this one from pcworld said that Windows 12 is available on june 2024 based on pc maker speculation (Reference), but i think it will not gonna happen this fast, because Windows 11 itself still needs a many bug fixing.
There's no way this was written by AI. There are way too many typos and grammatical inconsistencies. I believe the authors of the post and most likely, English is not their first language either. At least that's my take... If so, I also read somewhere else that Win12 would be released sometime in 2024, however with no definitive release date.
I'd definitely be down for a canary release that I could opt into, if available for the public to beta test. I don't mind the Win11 UI but with the bold implementation(s) of AI recently, I'm interested to see if there's gonna be a fresh take on search/storage and a possible version specific to gaming.
Do not rush to get Windows 12 out here well well Windows 10 did not come out of our lives with Microsoft introducing Windows 11 users who have Windows 10 will be forced to throw their PCs in the trash and many companies and you made an announcement about Windows 12 .......
windows 12 is still on the way, I think it will appear at the beginning of 25, now the latest version is windows 11, buying it you can upgrade to version 12 for free when it appears, I got my key from Hypestkey partner Microsoft, the key was retail
