While Windows 11 is only just celebrating its first birthday, we are already hearing our first rumours about what Windows 12 will have in store.

There is no rush for the time being – we won’t see this new operating system until the end of 2024 – but we love to be ready for new tech! So, here is what we know so far…

The details are sketchy as per usual when it comes to Microsoft. They love to be coy about what they are planning. We have been digging into what little information is out there and it is looking…different!

If our research is correct, we will see a floating taskbar dock and a search bar taking top-centre position. The widgets panel and Action Centre will move to the top of the screen instead of the bottom.

When it comes to hardware requirements, we don’t expect a big change. They are unlikely to cause the same headaches that arose with the launch of Windows 11 as more PCs will be compatible out of the box. That said, some of the security hardware required by Windows 11 will likely become more important as Microsoft keeps its focus firmly on security.

Above all, we are expecting to see more of the stream of minor improvements that make such a big difference to useability. Making Windows 12 stable and bug free will be the number one priority – good news for all business users!

There will undoubtedly be more updates in the coming months and we will of course, share the most important ones with you as we hear more from Microsoft.

If you haven’t yet made the move to Windows 11, now could be a great time, we can help with that! So, if you are thinking about the upgrade, get in touch, we would love to help you!
