On January 6, 2025, the CES 2025 event officially opened in Las Vegas, USA. Currently, multiple technology companies have released their own new products, such as Nvidia releasing the RTX 50 series graphics card.
The topic to be shared in this article is not related to hardware such as processors and graphics cards, but to the operating system. After entering 2025, there is also a software issue that is worth paying attention to, which is: Will Microsoft release Windows 12 in 2025?

In theory, it is highly possible. Because Windows 11 was released in June 2021, it has been four years now, and Windows 10 will officially end its lifecycle on October 14th this year, there is a high possibility of releasing the next generation operating system this year.
However, based on the latest known information, it is highly unlikely that Microsoft will release Windows 12 within 2025, and this possibility is extremely slim. On January 6, 2025 US time, Microsoft’s official website released an article titled “CES 2025: The Year of Windows 11 PC Update” (please refer to the above image), briefly introducing the company’s development plan for 2025.

Microsoft also stated that:
The CES 2025 event has opened, showcasing various latest technological innovations, and we are excited about the technological innovation and progress that the entire industry brings to global users.
The development and innovation of the entire Windows ecosystem will make 2025 a highly anticipated year for customers. We believe that in 2025, the most important product that users will seek updates on is not their refrigerator, TV, or phone, but their Windows 10 PC, which can continue to upgrade and use Windows 11. ”

In addition to promoting AI, Microsoft also reiterated that Windows 10 will officially end its lifecycle on October 14, 2025, and urged all Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible, as shown in the above picture.
Throughout the article, Microsoft focuses on introducing Windows 11 and Copilot+PC, stating that it will continue to collaborate with ecosystem partners this year to promote the popularization of AI and Copilot+PC. However, the entire article does not mention Windows 12.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Microsoft will release Windows 12 within 2025, and Windows 11 will still be the protagonist of 2025. Microsoft will continue to improve Windows 11 this year by incorporating more AI features, with a focus on Windows 11 25H2.
