However, let us remind you that previous leaks show the opposite. Windows 12, codenamed Microsoft’s Next Valley, is said to be in early development. As you know, the code name of Windows 11 was Sun Valley. In addition, there are some predictions for the release date of the new operating system.
As you know, Microsoft has decided to switch to a three-year update cycle for its operating systems. That means major Windows versions are released every three years. Based on this, it is stated that Windows 12 will arrive no earlier than 2024. So 2024 will be the end of the three-year cycle for the 11th edition.
