Windows 12 Delayed as Microsoft Prepares Windows 11 25H2 Update
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft will not launch a separate "Windows 12" — instead, its next major update will be Windows 11 version 25H2, arriving in the second half of 2025.
- The update builds on the same base as the current 24H2 version, allowing for a quick and easy upgrade using a small enablement package.
- Features for 25H2 are already included in 24H2 but are inactive; they’ll be gradually unlocked through regular monthly updates.
- The release aims to encourage Windows 10 users to upgrade before support ends in October 2025.
- 25H2 will bring 36 months of support for enterprise and education users, and 24 months for consumers; Windows Insiders can test it now. Ask ChatGPT
