Cosa Microsoft ha effettivamente confermato (2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"

“Windows 12” is one of the most-searched topics in the Microsoft world — so let’s cut through the rumours with the honest, up-to-date answer. As of 2026, Microsoft has confirmed there is no Windows 12<\/strong>, and the next evolution of Windows will not carry that name. Here is what is actually happening, where the speculation came from, and what it means for the PC you are using right now.<\/p>\n

Is Windows 12 coming out?<\/h2>\n

No — not as “Windows 12.”<\/strong> In 2026 Microsoft made it clear that it is not<\/em> launching a product called Windows 12. Instead of a numbered successor, the company has signalled that the future of Windows is a more gradual, AI-centred evolution delivered through updates to Windows 11<\/strong>, rather than a big-bang “Windows 12” release. If you have been holding off on a purchase or upgrade while waiting for Windows 12, the practical takeaway is simple: there is nothing to wait for.<\/p>\n

The short answer<\/h3>\n

There is no Windows 12. Microsoft confirmed the next version will not be called that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The current OS<\/h3>\n

Windows 11 is the latest version — and the one to buy or upgrade to today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Windows 10<\/h3>\n

Support ended 14 October 2025 — upgrading is now the sensible move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What Microsoft has actually said<\/h2>\n

Rather than a new number, Microsoft has pointed to a future where Windows becomes more AI-native<\/strong> — deeper Copilot integration, more on-device intelligence and continuous feature updates — layered onto the existing Windows 11 platform. The company has teased larger announcements about “the next evolution of Windows,” but has been explicit that it will not<\/em> be branded Windows 12. In other words, the innovation is real; the name “Windows 12” is not.<\/p>\n

Where did the Windows 12 rumours come from?<\/h2>\n

The speculation was understandable. Microsoft has historically released a new numbered Windows every few years, so after Windows 11 many assumed “Windows 12” would follow around 2024–2025. Leaks, concept videos and analyst predictions filled the gap. But Microsoft’s strategy shifted towards continuous delivery<\/strong> — shipping major features to Windows 11 through regular updates — which makes a brand-new numbered release far less likely in the near term.<\/p>\n

What this means for you right now<\/h2>\n

If you are buying a new PC, upgrading from Windows 10, or choosing a licence, the decision is clear:<\/p>\n
