"Reportedly codenamed 'Hudson Valley Next,' internal leaks cited by PCWorld reveal that AI will play a central role in shaping its architecture. The speculation is driven not only by the Windows upgrade timeline and recent internal leaks, but also by the current trend among Original Equipment Manufacturers to build new PCs specifically designed to run efficient AI tasks."
"PCWorld reports that with the expected Windows 12, Copilot will become mandatory for every AI function, powered by the required NPUs. The integration, alongside Microsoft's ongoing updates to give Copilot more agentic capabilities, will enable the AI to manage the device in unprecedented ways."
"With Windows 10 extended security update ending in October 2026, millions of users will face a forced decision: upgrade or risk using an unsupported, insecure device. Although Microsoft has not yet announced a successor to the remaining fully supported OS - Windows 11, reports from several sources cite internal leaks suggesting Microsoft has begun work on Windows 12."
Windows 12, reportedly codenamed 'Hudson Valley Next,' is anticipated to debut in 2026 coinciding with Windows 10's extended security update expiration in October 2026. Internal leaks suggest AI will be central to the operating system's architecture. Microsoft and Original Equipment Manufacturers are designing new PCs with AI-efficient specifications and NPU capabilities. Windows 12 is expected to address known weaknesses in Windows 11 while introducing mandatory Copilot integration as the primary AI assistant for all AI functions. The operating system will feature deep machine-learning integration enabling Copilot to anticipate user actions and manage devices in new ways. NPU-powered local AI processing and new upgrade benchmarks will define Windows 12's requirements.
